CALL for ENTRIES: Mona Lisa

devilish grin

I have so many guilty food pleasures.  One of my favorites is provolone wrapped in prosciutto, stuffed in a pickled cherry pepper and marinated in olive oil. Cheese and salty pork in a fiery pepper, soaked in oil.  Sounds healthy, eh?  Not.  But my delightfully clever husband comes home with a half-dozen occasionally.  I look at them disapprovingly, and he always says with a devilish grin, “I’m sorry, are we behaving this week?  I didn’t know.”  I love that grin.  This next Call is an ode to a different devilish grin all toghether.  Take a look…

new taters

Does it feel like you eat the same thing day after day.  Me too, somedays.  To break things up at my house, we challenge ourselves.  Last month it was a huge increase in veggies with a concentration of stuff we never buy–like spaghetti squash and kale.  This month, it is a reduction of dairy and meat.  It isn’t necessarily about the benefit of a particular change so much as the results of having to think about food differently.  We end up eating crazy concoctions that we might never have otherwise tried.  This next Call has an open theme, but it has to be new (as of January 2011)Time to make a change, folks…

Check out this Call for Entries from Gallery Photographica (San Francisco, CA) for the New Images Photography Awards.  The entry fee is a little higher than the average, but the juror is good and the prizes are great.  This one might be perfect for you!

I prefer immediate gratification.  Immature?

Small work allows the experience of getting up close and personal with the artwork.

Open to all artists

CALL for ENTRIES: Patterns

AGAIN!

It takes great restraint not to continue food patterns in our menus.  I am guilty of taco night, pizza night, and buffalo chicken night.  I am trying to rationalize it by changing up the taco and pizza ingredients, but it is a pattern, nonetheless.  I’m not saying it si a bad thing, I just think it can lead to dangerous stall patterns that end in pre-packaged and fast food that I try to live without.  This next Call wants to know all about your patterns.   Let’s see ’em, folks…

I have fought a lifelong battle with apples. I like Granny Smiths, but I avoid the mealiness of Red Delicious.  I like apple pie and apple butter, but I try to avoid the massive refined sugar intake.  I have a newly found love of home-dried October Black apples from our local orchard, but I am still coming to grips with the other preparations.  This next Call wants to see if you might be the apple of your own eye.  Investigate…

id – The Object of Self

 

The self-portrait: Is it your compulsion?  Your obsession? An impulse?

Was it out of necessity (the mandatory Photo 101 exercise, a portrait for the office newsletter, or because you needed to self-promote)?  Is it the autobiographical record you decided was best told in image?

Sometimes we have to step in front of the lens – we can’t seem to communicate what we want to others, or maybe we’re just the most convenient choice for a model (the least expensive, for sure).  Even if we got there by default, there is no one better able to translate our vision to the camera than ourselves.  Perhaps you were experimenting with persona or striving for a personal perfection?  Were you desperately seeking Self?

Learn more about the Darkroom Gallery online!For those willing to dig deep and bare all, the self-portrait is a reward for your bravery – because whether you love it or hide it in the depths of your archives for decades, you’ve learned from it.  Whatever your intention, there is nothing closer to an authentic portrait, than to sit both behind and in front of the lens.  And whether for totally narcissistic or completely humble intents – you have to admit, it’s you.

PURPLE POTATO,
pomegranate

Produce is the every man’s gourmet food.  I will try to avoid preaching about the cost of produce being a contributing factor to the unhealthy eating habits of people world wide, but the truth is, I spend a larger percentage of my grocery budget on fresh produce than anything else, including proteins.  But if you have the desire for a gourmet treat, it doesn’t have to be thousand-dollar truffle oil or exotic sashimi-grade fish.  Try a new fruit.  The taste found in a pomegranate is not to be believed.  Substitute a purple potato in your recipe.  Buy a fresh herb plant for your kitchen window; just one will do.  This next Call wants the every man’s gourmet photo–the cell phone pic.  Investigate…

Mobile-O-graphy

 

Images made with mobile phones are becoming part of the photographic mainstream. Made with a phone camera, processed on the phone and even printed from the phone, these images are showing up in exhibitions both as a genre and alongside classic silver gelatin prints. Show them your latest mobile creations.

What distinguishes mobile device photography from that made with other devices? Less and Less. Possibly the fact that you can do it all on one device is unique. Sometimes the images created with mobile devices are more candid. Having a camera with us all the time lets us capture moments that can otherwise escape. Very quickly mobile phones are becoming just another type of camera taking their place alongside pin hole cameras, toy cameras, point and shoot cameras, SLR cameras etc. Here, in the gallery, we say it over and over – it’s not the camera – it’s the photographer’s vision and skill that makes a great photograph. Last year’s mobile phone photography exhibit said it. They want this year’s exhibit to prove it.
