EATING
on the RUN

Some of you ask me for restaurant recommendations. No, Really…it happens. The last time I gave a recommendation for a Miami restaurant to Featured Artist Shane Watt while he was there on business, well, he ACTUALLY WENT. And although he was amused by the atmosphere, the food left something to be desired. Out of courtesy, I will leave the restaurant unnamed. So, I’m going to reserve my suggestions to whole genres of food next time. Miami? Gotta love the Cuban food…and this next Call for Entries…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Dark Side

Posted on September 13, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

MY BUFFALO
has WINGS

I get stuck on foods. I occasionally become obsessed, usually with a snack food, and eat it over and over and over until I get sick of it. Lately, I have been seriously stuck on Synder’s Hot Buffalo Wing pretzel pieces. Yes, I’m afraid so…your gourmet food loving blogger has a weakness for junk food, to the extreme sometimes. Maybe when you’re out shooting late night photographs for this next Call for Entries you could pick up an extra bag OR THREE for me. Because you have to have a back up plan…

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Dark Side: Night Photography

The jazzy neon glow of a motel sign… the silver hush of a moonlit landscape… the hollow loneliness of deserted city street lamps… the raucous revelry of a nightclub at midnight….NIGHT holds a special place in the heart of photography.

Photographic greats such as Brassai, George Tice, Peter Hujar, Weegee and Robert Brook are just a few examples of those who have contributed great works in the genre of night photography.

CALL for ENTRIES: 2012 Small Prints Exhibition

Posted on September 12, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

POP goes the
PRINT

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…

OH MY…
the years of
BUTTERCREAM

I am not a big fan of birthday cake. But honestly, I am not a big fan of birthdays either for all the standard reasons of vanity and mortality.

UP, UP

I’ve been told that airplane food is getting better. I flew from Tennessee to Phoenix, Arizona in the Spring; however, the flights were short due to layovers so I didn’t eat any meals. My experience with food in coach seating is that it has always reminded me of school cafeteria food — overly starchy, processed and sometimes unidentifiable. If you are one of the winners in the next Call, I expect you to report back on the food for the flights to Milan, London, New York, Shanghai and Sao Paulo. I recommend that you investigate further…

GORGE-OUS!

Last year I told you about a new food rule for our now 12 year old son: When eating at an ethnic restaurant, he must eat ethnic food. I cannot watch my child eat chicken nuggets and fries while we eat Greek or Japanese or Indian or food ever again. So far, so good. He has decided that expanding his palate wasn’t such a bad idea, even if it wasn’t HIS idea. This call is international and intended to expand the palate of the gallery…

NIGHT CAP

Dessert wines are one of my many guilty pleasures. Biscotti is not just for dipping into your espresso.

If you end up at the opening of the collective exhibit for this next Call, have a glass for me. Better yet, bring me a bottle of vin santo back as a souvenir…it beats a t-shirt anytime!
