CALL for ENTRIES: San Angelo Museum

my baby

Winter is comin’…time to start planting herbs.  I know that thought process is non-sensical to some of you.  You see, I am too lazy to grow them myself when they are plentiful at the market in Spring, but in the Winter, I’m too cheap to buy them unless I grow them myself.  I just can’t have marinara without basil.  Plus, growing herbs indoors give me an excuse to buy a plethora of beautiful new pots.  Maybe I should shop the opening of this next Call.  Take a look…

INTERNATIONAL CALL for ENTRIES: Gothic

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!FEELING SLUGGISH?

Contrary to the sentiment I usually espouse, not all food has to look appealing to be tasty.  Escargot is a tasty treat that is high in protein and low in fat (assuming you forego the butter sauce), but the diet of the wild-caught snail in nauseating.  Eating escargot, even in the most upscale environment, is a little like Halloween in your mouth–delightfully scary.  This next Call is looking for the macabre as well…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art also known as OCCCA (Santa Ana, CA) for Gothic, an international exhibit.  The variety of artwork that can be submitted is wide open, and this theme isn’t as common as you might think.  Take a look…

Our bodies:
forbidden, subverted, suppressed.

Our bodies:
elevated, venerated, and sanctified.

The human form is unceasingly beautiful, complex, and remarkable.

What better proof of this diversity than through the Photographic Arts; the Human Form has been its eternally devoted, perpetual muse. The body insights love, loss, envy and greed, devotion and esteem – as one of our most valued photographic subjects, our images do the same.

I am frugal, or cheap, depending on your viewpoint. I tend to love for so many reason, but mainly because the weather is much cooler.  And, winter produce is much cheaper.  I love root vegetables and squash of all sorts.  Maybe I’ll take a trip to the pumpkin farm.  Pumpkin isn’t just for pies and pancakes, you know?  Try it in beef tangine instead of butternut squash. I’ll miss the fresh greens by Spring time, but that we make them taste all the better. This next call invites you to share a single image or your agricultural influence.  Make me proud…

American Farmer
Photo Contest

Photographer Paul Mobley traveled the country documenting America’s unsung heroes of industry and agriculture in his book: “American Farmer: Portraits of the Heartland”. What began as a break from his commercial photography soon became a journey which led Mobley down a path of self-discovery with a renewal in his passion for making images.

Mobley’s work for American Farmer was recently optioned for presentation as a feature-length documentary. The film goes deep into our nation’s agricultural heartland to tell the personal stories of the indomitable men and women who literally sustain us all. Dubbed “American Farmer” by its producers, the documentary will launch followed by a national PBS broadcast.

Mobley would like you to share your experiences with the country’s beautiful agriculture, farm, farmer’s market and garden world.

Salt and pepper are the basics of all seasoning.  Given nothing else, you can still do wonders with this pair.  However, while menu-planning for an upcoming cabin vacation with my family, I have had to take sodium content into mind for my mother’s sake.  WOW!  What an eye opener.  One-half a frozen average-size pepperoni pizza (3 slices of 6) has her recommended sodium intake for 2.5 days.  I suppose that too much of a good thing really does exist.  This next call involves the basics of art…sketching.  Take a look!

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.
