CALL for ENTRIES: ARTifact

GREEN gold

I grow basil in most of the window sills in my home for just one purpose –making homemade pesto. I can’t grow much outdoors due to the bears and turkey and wild pigs (no, really). So, my windowsills stay full. I haven’t reaped much yet this year, and my stash of pesto is gone. Sad. But as I was excavating my freezer to avoid going to the grocery before dinner, I found a lone artifact– a bag of frozen basil large enough for a side dish. This next Call is interested in YOUR artifacts. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for ARTifact. $29 entry, free framing & a great juror. I cannot wait to see this exhibit…

SWEET streets

Have you ever attended a fast food wedding? I kinda have. At a recent wedding, the bride & groom opted for an outdoor ceremony & reception. The reception was catered… by a sweet food truck featuring a custom French menu including pastries in lieu of a wedding cake. It was priceless. They met in Paris; they fell in love under a lamppost, street food in hand. Sweet & from the street, just like this next call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Water, Water Everywhere

Posted on June 6, 2016June 11, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

entirely DRINKABLE

I lived in the USVI for a couple of years, and my house used only cistern water. Rainfall kept the supply flowing for most of the year, but a couple of months prior to the rainy season we’d have to pay to have the cistern fill… about $500. That was 20 years ago. I try to internalize this memory every time I pay my $85 water bill. Well, that and I can actually cook with the tap water at my current home. Back then the hashtag would have been #dontlookinthebottomofcistern or #youdontwanttoknow. This next call is all about the water, and there are no restriction on the orgin of YOUR water.

baked, not BLACKENED

The burning of food is the only constant in my house. It isn’t all food, but it is always particular foods –pizza crust, croutons, toast & anything else that is just supposed to just brown on the edges. I say, “don’t burn the pizza”& Jon huffs in slight offense. Then, 10 minutes later mumbled cursing echoes through the kitchen. “Burn the pizza?” I ask. “Sorry,” he responds. Then Laughter. Every time. It happens every time. That’s what makes it funny. This next Call wants to know about your comic relief, but don’t burn the pizza. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Comic Relief
from L.A. Photo Curator

“The world is so full of stress and hardship that it seems difficult to retain a sense of balance. Often, as a photographer, one seeks out projects that are politically based, be it the environment or a statement to raise public awareness. For our collective consciousness, it seems critical that we stop and ‘smell the roses’. Based on this sentiment, the orientation of this theme is to seek out some visual levity. Everyone’s perspective is unique as is their sense of humor. These images can be choreographed or spontaneous but should convey a sense of humor. I am looking forward to sharing a good laugh (or chuckle) with everyone.” –from Mara Zalove

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: May 26, 2016 (Midnight PST)

EXHIBITION: June 5 – July 5, 2016

ENTRY FEE: $20 for up to 3. 15% of artist fees go to the charity of the monthly curator (jewelsofyouth.org) as well as the first place winner’s charity.

CURATOR: Mara Zaslove‘s passion for photography has allowed her to express herself in a visual conversation & has interwoven her view of the world with her life experiences. Primarily, Mara’s process tends to be spontaneous. She has a curiosity about her immediate environment and expresses this by photographing subjects that capture her fascination. It can be the mundane, atypical or traditional but she seeks to document a uniqueness particular to each subject. Mara’s award winning work has been widely acknowledged including being represented by bG/BGart Gallery at Bergamot Station & Hale Arts Gallery in Santa Monica. She was a finalist in the 8th Julia Cameron Award held in Berlin in 2016 as well as having her work included in the 5th Annual Exposure Award display at the Musee du Louvre, Paris-France in 2015 as a part of the Body Collection.

SALES: All sales are conducted between the artist & buyer. L.A. Photo Curator does not handle any part of sales. There is no commission.

scrambling your EGGS

I dream about hollandaise sauce pretty often. I’m not sure why.

such sweet NECTAR

Pancakes are an uncommon treat at our house. Even the best of store bought syrup shouldn’t be kept as long as the periods between pancake occurrences at our breakfast table. So, my husband now makes our pancake syrup. Someone suggested he substitute agave nectar for the sugar in the recipe. Wow. It isn’t a 1:1 substitution. Agave nectar is much sweeter than honey or refined sugar. I can’t handle it. We’ll stick to the water, sugar, molasses & vanilla standard, thanks. This next Call is just sweet enough to intrigue. Take a look…

girly GREENS

The girls-eat-salad debate continues. Stock photography makes it appear that women can barely nibble a leaf without laughing. Men in movie bars disparage women who eat salads for their sexier steak-eating counterparts. Body-shamers think women should only eat salad while movie intellectuals think kale salad is for silly hipsters. I am uncertain how gender really applies to food. I only know that after a weeks on the road, there is little better than hand-torn greens and back yard veggies from the farmers’ market topped with a homemade dress. My husband agrees. And while salad may not be all about the girls, this Call is. Take a look…

soup to BEANS

It is all a matter of taste, right? I know that for every food there is someone who believes its tastes better than all other foods, but I still can’t quite resolve myself to the notion that some foods aren’t just objectively bad. Warhol is famous for, among other things, depictions of a soup. That same soup is the foundation for thousands of green bean casserole recipes. SOMEone believes it to be “Mmm mmm good”, but I am not one of the some. I don’t have a lot of food limits, aside from Century eggs and boiled okra, but just no. It is a black and white issue for me –just like this next Call. Investigate this opportunity…

LEFTOVERS rock

We intentionally create leftovers by overcooking dinner so that we have a few easy options for lunch on hand. But, left over veggies that didn’t get fully used in salads or stir frys become the best fillings for spring rolls. We’re a little addicted. Have I mentioned that rice paper is my newest obsession? As much as I appreciate their function, I’ll admit that how little room they take up in the pantry and the fact that they seemingly never expire may very well make them the perfect bread replacement. Yum. This next call wants your paper, but it doesn’t have to be rice paper…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Retrieval

Posted on April 8, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

the STOMACH knows

Beautiful food is enticing. Culinary schools offer classes that teach presentation for a reason. But ugly food has its place. I had lunch with a friend yesterday; she insisted I pick the restaurant. I chose Indian food only to discover she had never eaten Indian food. I felt the need to warn her that the food was delicious, but ugly. Maybe ugly is a little too strong. It looks a bit like mud on rice, but the stomach doesn’t care what food looks like.. This next call isn’t muddy, it wants to see all that is beautiful. Take a look…
