Curvilinear

“Planar lines that wind, wend and soar through a image’s field of focus. Curving components within a photograph give the image depth, allowing the viewer’s eye to move through the frame almost effortlessly. It is almost as if the photographer takes the viewer by the hand, draws them into the frame, and points the way. The viewer’s eyes are compelled to follow the line of the curvature. Darkroom Gallery is calling for images that possess this curvy compositional trait.” –darkroomgallery.com

“In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves.” –Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

SUGAR skulls &

My family enjoys participating in cultural celebrations from around the world. None of us grew up with any sort of specific cultural traditions aside from spaghetti night or BBQ on Father’s Day. So each year we adopt Chinese New Year, Oktoberfest & even the Day of the Dead as our very own. Chinese New Year gives us an extra 6 weeks or so to make plans for the upcoming year (Yes, we really are late to everything –even making resolutions, ha). Dia de Los Muertos offers us a time to tell stories about those we’ve lost. I’ve lost a lot of people lately, and it is a great comfort to take time to celebrate them. This next Call is interested in that same celebration. Take a look…

ODILON was born in Paris and felt heavily influenced by classical music, ballet dancing and the Masters of painting. At the age of 16, Odilon suffered from anorexia. At 17 she began using a camera to make self portraits. It was simply a way to give her a glimpse inside herself to make sense of the pain with which she struggled to understand.

"Taking action is far better than thinking, for me. Photography saved my life."

If you have something to say, you should say it. Anonymous food & restaurant reviews are cheap shots. Have you noticed that only BAD reviews are posted by “anonymous”. If someone has something good to say, they post their names in all CAPS. I am hopeful that this next Call will redeem the notion of posting, or in this case exhibiting, anonymously. How will your work stand up on its own?

MUNCHIES

I kicked cable TV to the curb. Because we travel for work, no one really watches specific shows very often. So, we have a Hulu account & Chromecast PLUS there’s a Redbox® just down the mountain. The result? Now we watch more movies and consume more popcorn. Isn’t that the law? A movie must be accompanied by popcorn, right? This next Call could be an excellent way to put my new movie-watching obsession to good use. Take a look…

Confluence of public health and food labeling took a step forward when nutrition facts were added to processed foods. I promise I won’t go into my issues with processed food or the FDA this time. The fact that nutrition facts exist on packaging leads me to believe that the interest of both the food industry and consumers can merge into content labeling regarding the origin of food as well. Fingers crossed. This next call is a Confluence of art and fine craft with an excellent retail opportunity. Investigate…

My family is tired of eggs (aka the e-word). We have lost access to farm fresh eggs temporarily, and as a result, our 3 dozen eggs per week have become a chore.

We are trying to figure out how to break our food patterns & consider non-traditional breakfasts. Patterns are captivating for a reason, and this next Call wants to see yours.

Where I cook is about to drastically change. More specifically, where I LIVE is about to change.

Sometimes simple is complicated. But where I live, where I cook, is important enough to get it right. The next Call wants to know more about where YOU live. Take a look…

in a PICKLE

I’ve been studying food preservation, from pickling & water-bath canning to vacuum-sealing & salt-packing. I’ve run across a huge amount of admirable testing, experimentation and success amongst food-enthusiasts, homemakers, homesteaders, preppers & gardners alike. I am open to almost anything culinary at least once, but some folks are out there just purposely trying to make food, well, wrong. Koolickles. I am almost beyond words this time. Koolickles are created by soaking dill pickles in a mixture of Kool-Aid® & pickle brine. Being open doesn’t always work in my favor, but this next Call definitely does. They are open to almost anything, and it doesn’t have to be Koolickles, I promise…
