Buffets make me feel like a cow at a trough.  Admittedly, that probably has something to do with my own psychological issues; however, I am not a fan.  But if ever I was going to recommend that you go to a buffet line, I would recommend that you try one in Vegas.  From award winning chefs to 24-hour access, Vegas buffets offer virtually ANYTHING you could want.  Now if what you ate in Vegas only stayed in Vegas, ha.  This next show is in Sin City.  Take a look…

Eating solely by candlelight is not romantic.  When the world is teaching its young boys and girls romantic guestures, the candlelit dinner is among the cliches reinforced repeatedly by television and print ads.  Yes, candlelight is lovely and flattering, but not SOLELY candelight.  I want to see what I am eating, or about to eat.  I want to enjoy the presentation of the food.  I DO NOT want to accidentally put a forkfull of wasabi in my mouth by accident.  This next Call COULD be all about candlelight.  What’s your bright idea?

When I am cold, I live on soups and stews.  Currently, I am cold and dreaming of oyster stew.  However, as I frequently complain, my husband is allergic to seafood.  So, no oyster stew for me.  Do you know who else loved oyster stew?  Abraham Lincoln.  Fascinating.  History isn’t my strong suit; however, I seem to be well-versed on historical food favorites for some reason.  Most people know about his pinchot for apples, but not the delectable stew I currently crave. This next call is not about Lincoln, but it is LOCATED in Lincoln. Take a look…

The body insights love, loss, envy and greed, devotion and esteem – as one of our most valued photographic subjects, our images do the same.

Build it, and I will eat. I stand in awe of pastry chefs. Most of the ones I know are delightfully batty (industry rumor is that the flour makes you a little off center). I love that their creations are often part art, part architechture. If you don’t think how something looks affects how it tastes, you are clearly eating ugly food.

The Built Environment

Images that capture a vision of the man made world around us.

We’ve been documenting the built environment since the beginnings of photography. It’s natural – our lives are entwined with and dependent upon structures of all kinds. Let us examine the genius designs, abundant materials both found and fabricated, engineering feats, beauty and function, of our constructed environments. Technical mastery has much to do with a great architectural photograph, but also an understanding of the architect’s vision, and/or the humanity that invigorates and utilizes its spaces.

Learn more about the Persona show at the Darkroom Gallery!Whether a skyscraper or a shed, chasm span or walking bridge, from convenience store to industrial complex, public or personal (heck, an outhouse is a pertinent structure), and even the remains of such, Darkroom Gallery is looking forward to featuring your built environments.

JUROR: With an engineering degree from Trinity College (Dublin) and an Architect/Author father (Raymond McGrath), Norman McGrath was primed for educated view of his subject. He has been photographing architecture and interiors for decades, capturing the work of major architects and designers and their well-known works. His images have been featured in the foremost architectural publications, as well as his popular book, “Photographing Buildings Inside Out”. The American Institute of Architects selected McGrath for its Institute Honor award. McGrath continues to author and co-author books illustrated with architectural photography (“Manhattan Skyscrapers”, “Skyscraper Rivals”, and New York’s Pennsylvania Station”) as well as educate and inspire students of photography at the Maine Photographic Workshops, the Palm Beach Photo Workshops, and the Calumet Institute of the University of Maryland.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Art of Rebellion

 

Learn more about the Gowanus Print Lab in Brooklyn NY!2011 has been a year of rebellion.  This year has seen long-standing monarchs overthrown in Egypt and Libya and mass protests for calling change in the economic-political power structure in Europe and the United States, most notably in Occupy Wall Street.

Dissent at this level has not been seen since the late 1960’s, where protesters developed both nonviolent and more radical protest techniques that are still used in today’s struggles.

Young people in particular are standing up and using their voice, and in times of social turmoil and political upheaval art can be used as a powerful and emotional communicative tool.
