CALL for ENTRIES: Absence of Color

Posted on December 21, 2011December 17, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CABBAGE,
not KRAUT

People tell me the wackiest food facts. I love hearing them, and I usually assume I am being told the truth. But, just to be certain, I always verify the facts if I can. Recently someone told me that the black and white cookie, that I alway think of as German in orgin, IS actually German, but it is called an Amerikaner. There has to be some cyclical humor in the fact that an American who thought she was a fan of German cookies is really only a fan of cookies that Germans refer to as American cookies. Funny. This next call is all about Black and White, too. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Black & White: Absence of Color from MPLS Photo Center (Minneapolis, MN). This is a great venue and a great juror. Don’t miss this opportunity!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Black & White: Absence of Color

The world’s first photographic images were made in shade of gray, black, and white, and the black and white photograph continues to be an important palette for photographers today. The beauty of a well-printed black and white photograph is undeniable—it is striking, unearthly, and can be life changing.

Some of the world’s most memorable photographs are black and white—the rich blacks, glowing whites, and silvery grays of a strong, black and white photograph leave a lasting impression on the mind. For photographers, those deep blacks hold a special significance, as it is the black tones that reveal themselves first in photographic chemistry and communicate the magic, mystery, and possibility of the photographic process.

Black and white photographs can have painterly, etching-like qualities, which were celebrated by photography’s inventors and early adopters. Photography as art was first championed with The Photo-Secessionists who celebrated the pictorial aspect of the black and white image. Today photography is widely accepted as an art form and as a key medium within contemporary and conceptual art.

The choice of using black and white versus color is the photographer’s choice, and the reasons for that choice can be personal, theoretical, or aesthetic. This call for entry—Black and White—The Absence of Color—looks to grays and blacks and whites to tell the story and make the picture that color would often muddy.

CALL for ENTRIES: You’ll Find this Offensive

Posted on December 19, 2011December 17, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

NO FINGER LICKIN’

I learned table manners in “finishing” class. No, I am not kidding. I went to a southern, Protestant private school through sixth grade. All 5th grade girls took “finishing class” in which we learned posture by walking with books on our heads. We learned that our waist should be 10″ smaller than our bust and hips. And we learned both how to set a table and how to behave while sitting at the table. No really, I’m not kidding. And while I have clearly let go of the 10″-smaller-than-my-bust-and-hips lesson, I still find bad table manners offensive. This next show is looking for something a little more extreme, I suspect. Whatcha got, folks?

CALL for ENTRIES: Monochromatic

Posted on December 18, 2011December 17, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BEET me PURPLE

I prefer my foods on the edge of extreme–from color to taste. My newest favorite are little purple, fingerling potatoes. Yum. In addition to being beautiful, those brightly colored foods tend to be higher in iron and anti-oxidants that your body needs to be healthy. I have sworn of the beige potato chip or two, but I’ll take beets instead on most days. This next show is interested in the black and white extremes. Investigate…

“The term accessories has come to include a host of photographic gadgets of questionable value…“Ansel Adams, The Camera

“A good daguerreotype was as perfect a kind of photograph as was ever made.” Edward Steichen

These two masters enriched the history of photography by being some of the first to experiment with new technologies in a relatively new art medium. They were also traditionalists and truly embraced manual and old photography processes. The hundred and fifty photographers from Steichen’s world is millions today, and finding “as perfect a kind of photograph as was ever made” is no longer as simple.

Digital cameras and editing software have transformed the medium and opened up whole new worlds for the 21st century photographer. We have dozens of “aps” that help us tweak a digital image to “perfection” in minutes. A vast repertoire of image resources we look to for inspiration and meaning still brings us to the same point of reflection as photographers of the early 20th century: what is the art of photography?

Black and white photography, a genre that many would claim made them fall in love with image-making in the first place, has remained completely relevant and contemporary despite it’s ancient roots. It is timeless, sometimes soft, sometimes dramatic and brings new perspective to images and image making. Whether you are a darkroom purist or a Photoshop craftperson, show us your love for hue-less images. The Darkroom Galllery wants to see YOUR best black and white or alternative process images for an exhibit that will pay tribute to the origins of photography and praise it’s development.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If you are younger, you must have a parent or legal guardian make the submission for you.

MEDIA: Photography. Monochrome images from traditional silver black and whites to cyanotypes, sepia toned photographs and anything else in the color-less spectrum.

DEADLINE: Jan. 25, 2012

OLIVES in ORANGE

Last night I imagined my self in a white chef’s coat and orange clogs while dozing off on the couch.

CALL for ENTRIES: Earth Through a Lens

Posted on December 14, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PASS the LOAM

Earthy foods are yummy. I know that is obvious to many of you. But, I have to say that learning to appreciate earthy foods is the biggest change in my palate over the years. I’m still not a fan of what I call “dirt crackers.” I DO have my earthy limits, but I am in love with whole grains, whole foods, in fact. And the earthiness of merlot doesn’t exactly hurt my feelings. Food should taste like itself, not the over-refined, processed version of itself that is so cheaply and readily available these days. This next show wants to see earthy through your eyes. Interesting…

Check out this Call for Entries for Earth Through a Lens, a dual media photography show–both camera and cell-phone based. The camera work entry fee is high, but the prizes are great. The cell work entry fee is low, but the exhibit isn’t as exciting. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Square Inches

Posted on December 9, 2011December 9, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BUILDING BLOCKS…
of Cheese

Being aware of serving sizes sucks. It takes all the fun out of over eating. I’ve been on a lot of diets over the years, but the only thing that really works is being AWARE of what you put in your body. The serving sizes I use most often? A deck of cards is about the size of an appropriate portion of protein like fish or chicken, and a square inch is approximately 1 ounce of cheese. Moderation sucks. Moderation x 20 is a little more my speed. Let me know what you think…

HEARTS of PALM,
anyone?

Heart smart foods have become the norm in my house. I have scary-low blood pressure, and my doc says it makes me far less likely to have a heart attack or stroke. However, my husband is one of those string beans that can consume 5000 calories per day.

This next show is in the Heartland; do you think they eat any heart-healthier there? Let me know…

CHEESY TRUTH

French food is the gold standard. You don’t have to agree with me; it is objective fact. It isn’t all about sauce. I believe it is all about the cheese. The French boast 350 to 400 TYPES of cheese… maybe 1000. I haven’t tried them all yet; it is on my bucket list. Until I try them all and pronounce my favorite, give Sainte-Maure de Touraine a try. Could you pick some up for me when you’re at this opening?

CALL for ENTRIES:
Julia Margaret Cameron Award

ELIGIBILITY: Professional and non professional female artists from all countries.

MEDIA: Photography. Traditional, contemporary, avant-garde, creative and experimental works that include old and new processes, mixed techniques, and challenging personal, emotional or political statements will be welcome.

DEADLINE: December 30th, 2011, at 11:59pm PST

NOTIFICATION: March 8th, 2012 (honoring the International Women’s Day)

ENTRY FEE: $40 for the first 3 images; $10 each additional image

JUROR: Amber Terranova is the photo editor for Photo District News. She worked previously for New York magazine and Outside. She holds a BFA in photography from the School of Visual Arts, Manhattan. Amber has assisted with programming at Center, a Santa Fe-based non-profit organization that supports photographers. Her taste in photography tends toward emerging and established artists with strong personal projects, surprising content and evidence of political or social engagement. She’s most drawn to introspective, provocative work.

Dina Bova was born in Moscow and currently lives in Israel. Her images have been awarded in Px3, Hasselbald Masters, Sony Awards, 1st edition of the JMCA, Nikon, PDN’s World in Focus, and have won 21 Gold medals in international photo-contests under FIAP/PSA patronage in USA, Austria, France, England, Croatia, Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel. Her art is a world of allegories, metaphors and multifaceted associations. She thinks that it’s not important how an artist creates his work. It can be created with any tool and any medium, but it should speak for itself and convey a very special mood. It should need no explanation, no elaboration and no apologies. It can be very aesthetic or the opposite of it. For Dina, the most important thing is freeing the imagination.

AWARDS: The Julia Margaret Cameron Award will be given to 12 women photographers which will be invited to exhibit (and sell) their work in a very selective collective exhibition in Paris during 2013, honoring one hundredth year of the birth of Robert Capa, co-founder of Magnum Photos and famous war photojournalist. WPGA will take care of the framing and matting, as well as all gallery expenses. A catalog will be printed, and all 12 awardees will receive one free copy.

SALES: Exhibitors will receive 40% of the sales, 20% will be reserved for the gallery/organizers, and 40% will be donated to a charitable organization selected by the awardees.
