CALL for ENTRIES: Illusion and Chemistry

PLEASE

I love the fusion of classic dishes and modern cuisine.  Deconstructed dishes are a perfect example.  Like the caesar salad that comes with a mound of romaine, a poached egg and a sardine on crostini.  Okay, that may be a little on the fringe.  Maybe the pomegranite martini is a better example…shaken, not stirred.  No, I prefer classic dirty martinis with lots o’ olives.  Anyway, this next Call is a perfect opportunity to learn a new process…be it old & new to you or new & new to you.  Think about it…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Kiernan Gallery in Lexington, VA for Illusion and Chemistry: The Alternative Process.  This entry fee is low, and I love the concept of mixing old and new.  Take a look!

CALL for ENTRIES: Illusion and Chemistry

Learn more about the Illusions and Chemistry show from the Kiernan Gallery!Alternative process photography today is a hybrid of historical techniques and contemporary ideas.  Despite, or perhaps because of, the digital revolution, early printing processes are in revival.  Whether it is in reaction to digital, or a hybrid process aided by the technology, these techniques remain as evocative and dreamy as they ever were, bringing a unique style to present-day ideas. For Illusion and Chemistry: The Alternative Process, the Kiernan Gallery seeks images that use any alternative processing technique for any idea you wish to express.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists internationally.

MEDIA:  Any photographic print created as a product of a non-traditional process is eligible. Processes may include but are not limited to: Albumen, Bromoil, Cyanotype, Daguerreotypes, Gum Bichromate, Platinotypes, Salt Prints, Temeraprints, Tintypes, Wet Plate Collodion. Hybrid or Combination images incorporating conventional (including digital) processes with hand-crafted applications are also eligible.  Conventional techniques such as Silver Gelatin, Digital, and C-prints are not eligible.

Four Corners
of the Earth

There is boundless beauty in our natural environment, from the intimate view of a blade of grass to the vast panoramic horizon.  We need only show up with our cameras!  How do we translate our personal visions of the natural world, through our photographic tools, and then to our audience?

Each of our relationships to nature is highly personal – they want to see yours.  From the tonal depths of an Ansel Adams expansive environment, to the quiet pictorial gestures of an Edward Steichen moment, to contemporary masters’ views, such as our Juror George DeWolfe, who’s contemplative designs on natural beauty insight envy and inspiration. 

Learn more about the Persona show at the Darkroom Gallery!They are looking for the kind of variety that is in nature herself.  Sky’s the limit using contemporary methods, photographic paraphernalia, and a limitless bag of tricks, so whether your landscapes display a traditional approach, leave them questioning reality, or all that is in between, they can’t wait to see your version of this heaven we call Earth.

JUROR: George DeWolfe has been photographing since 1964.  He studied with Ansel Adams and Minor White in the 1970’s and holds an MFA in Photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology. DeWolfe is widely published, most notably At Home In The Wild, George DeWolfe’s Digital Photography Fine Print Workshop and B&W Printing – each has received wide acclaim.  His work has been seen in over fifty one-man exhibitions and is part of several permanent collections. 

Currently a consultant to Epson, Adobe, Hahnemühle, X-rite, and Nik, George is one of the original 15 photographers on the Adobe Lightroom team, and developed Optipix and PercepTool, both Adobe Photoshop plug-ins.  He teaches “The Digital Fine Print Workshop”, “B&W Master Print”, and “Contemplative Photography” throughout the United States.  Winner of numerous awards, his most recent honor was Award for Artistic Excellence presented by The National Park Service.  DeWolfe has photographed for many environmental organizations over the past 40 years: Appalachian Mountain Club, Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, Mass Audubon, National Park Service, and Friends of Acadia..

Arkansas reminds me of popcorn.  When I was about eight years old, my father was transferred to Arkansas for work for 18 weeks, and during the inclement weather (a three foot flood, 18″ of snow and 100°+ temps all during our 18 weeks in Little Rock), I would go to work with one of my father’s friends.  This friend worked at a local movie theatre as a projectionist, and I would sit in the projection booth and watch the movie through the teeny tiny viewing window with a cardboard box of leftover theatre popcorn in my lap.  Blissful.  I am doubting that this next Call will feature popcorn at the opening, but you COULD bring your own…
