CALL for ENTRIES: Curious Camera

Posted on March 8, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

RED, WHITE
and curious

Food deprivation is not new to me. In the South, women are born dieters, as was I for half my years. I no longer participate, opting for whole foods and a healthier self image. But, I was still dumbfounded when I read a study that proposes eating from a red dish, as opposed to the white ones I currently use, might result in smaller consumption. Human beings are a curious sort aren’t we? Maybe it is the association with stop signs and traffic lights. Who knows? This next Call is curious in its own way, and leaves room for you to stretch your talents. Don’t assume; investigate instead…

Check out this Call for Entries from Artseye Gallery (Tuscon, AZ) for Curious Camera. A photo show with great categories, and only $10 to enter. PLEASE don’t discount this show if you are NOT a photographer. Take a look first…

BUFFET

I spent my pre-adolescence & formative culinary years in a small Georgia town. It wasn’t all peanuts but more a montage of scenes including fried foods, all-you-can-eat buffets, red-clay stained feet & knees, and demolition derbies. But in hindsight, I think those scenes were more about my family and less about the place– Marietta, Georgia. This next Call is proof of the fantastic opportunities & venues found in Marietta/Cobb County. I am in love with this venue. Please don’t miss this opportunity…

KNIFE SKILLS

Almost 25 years ago, I began a year of culinary school. I loved every minute from plaid pants to paper hats. My mother the knives kit monogrammed. I almost can’t wrap my brains around how long ago that was. If 25 years feels like an eternity to me, just imagine how hard it is for me to wrap my brain around the 103 year history of this next Call. There is something to be said for experience…

CALL for ENTRIES: Fact & Fantasy

Posted on March 3, 2014March 3, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

FOOD
fantasies

I never ceased to be amazed by what conjures a memory. I was contemplating what to send to my 92 year old grandmother in a care package, and of course, food is always her favorite (genetics). Sudden I was 5 years old watching her dump marshmallows & coconut in cocktail fruit and excitedly explaining all about the food of the gods… ambrosia, a fantasy food. Okay, maybe the genetic predisposition has changed a little over the years, ha. This next Call wants YOUR idea of fact or fantasy. But, I don’t think they are looking for ambrosia…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Fact & Fantasy

Photographers have a wonderful ability to turn ordinary surroundings into an otherworldly realm. Optical illusions, chemistry, and the mechanics of modern tools, have opened new possibilities for artists to untether their imaginations. Artists exploring make-believe use their dreams and memories as subject matter. Their work distorts reality, making everyday objects and environments alien and magical. Photographers construct their own fantasies, creating alternate worlds that straddle the line between reality and fiction. For Fact and Fantasy, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images that explore the unearthly and strange.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE:
April 24, 2014

DRAGONS

I think finding some fantastic foods is an omen that better foods are coming. If I find dragon fruit in the produce section of a grocery, chances are good I’ll find great rack of lamb too. Likewise, if the amuse bouche is delightful, then the Chef’s Choice entree is probably what I want. This next Call hits me the same way–an art sale in a bank. Just saying…

SNOW

Coconut snow creme anyone? I’m trying to come up with a logical way to combat my winter frustration. Because I live near a little-traveled corner of the National Park, I STILL have access to untrodden-snow in area that is as free from harsh chemicals and pesticides as one can approximate in 2014. So, I will use coconut milk instead of heavy cream and dream of a sitting on a Florida beach while writing during the latest bout of snow showers. This next Call wants to bring you to their sunny Florida local for the opening of Camera USA. I can’t wait…

FLOUR

All I want for my birthday is a biscuit. My birthday is June 6th. On Christmas Day, I made my birthday request of my mother. She’s the best biscuit-maker I know, my husband being a close 2nd, but neither of them has yet to master a gluten-free biscuit. I can only hope one of them figures it out. It is the only gluten-laden food I miss. And, in a cruel twist of fate, this Call is in my backyard. I can’t bear the thought, so please, someone make me proud…

OLIVE

Only a very small handful of my friends will abide long debates about varietal olive oils. My favorite varietal is made from Frantoio olives. Frantoio olives are widely used in Tuscan olive oils–peppery and bitter and pungent and a bit grassy. Just a few of my food freaky friends will stick around for these debates because we are peas in a pod. This next Call is for peas of the painting pod. Take a look…

EGGHEAD

I’ve been teaching my son to cook. Well, I’ve been teaching my son to make food–that’s more accurate. He loves egg salad. So, we’ve begun with how to boil an egg and the importance of paprika. You’d be amazed at how often those two, simple factors can ruin egg salad. Just because they are easy or comfortable doesn’t make them less challenging in their own way. This next Call is from one of my favorite organizations, and it is easy to enter. But, it is an opportunity not to be overlooked…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Arts & Culture Alliance for Knoxville Photo 2014. This is a great show run by a great organization. I’ve shown here several times, and I was even the juror last year…

LOBSTA
love

The only good reason to be on the beach is a clambake or a lobster boil, in my opinion. I’ve never been a beach kind of girl. I’ve always preferred the green leafy mountainside over the golden sands of the beach. And I’m not sure why. But I know how many of you are beach combers at heart. So, this next Call is a great opportunity to express your love of the sea in virtually any media or size. Take a look…
