“What do you want for dinner?”  I have learned to truly detest those six words.  I appreciate choices, but I struggle with unlimited choices.  After 16 years, my husband has learned to ask, “Do you want a steak-topped salad or roasted chicken for dinner?”  That decision, I can make.  This next Call hasn’t narrowed it down for you, but I’m hoping you’re better at decision making than I am.  Plus, I suspect you’ll just  love this magazine…

I have weekly menus for breakfasts, lunches & dinners.  I tried being spontaneous by buying pieces & parts in the right amounts & putting it together on the fly.  But, I only made it one summer.  I have learned if I don’t make a plan & do the prep each morning, we end up eating lazy.  That means pizza or wings or burgers, and that’s not always the best choice–even homemade.  For now, I’ll keep my impromptu moments out of my kitchen and leave them to my art.  How about you?

Impromptu

To capture in an instant, an unexpected scene, the unscripted interaction, serendipitous magic in a single shot.

The medium of photography skillfully lends itself to chance.  In certain instances the medium is defined by how rapidly a single shot can be fired and, in turn, art created.

Just as an improv actor steps onto the stage without any thoughts or goals is his/her head we are looking for the images you took off the cuff that the very telling, thoughtful and insightful ones. Photographs that succeed because they aren’t staged.  Work that encapsulates a plot line, a “scene of crime” or unique character-driven exchange.

rodent on the side

In a former life, I worked as a sous chef on a charter sailboat in the Carribean for a peg-legged captain with a Sharpie parrot tattoo on his head.  It is all strangely true. That WAS my official job title…the rest too.  What I really did was spoon homemade chicken salad into avocado halves.  I served it to wealthy day trippers along with a cross-hatched mango half turned inside out, known as a hedgehog.  Sous chef? Semantics I say.  This next Call wants your version of inside out, but I’m thinking they aren’t looking for mango hedgehogs.  That’s just a theory, but you should investigate for yourself…
