EAT PURPLE

I try to eat at home for most of my meals.  Partly, I’m a little cheap; partly, I like to know where my food originates and what is in it.  However, one of the things I most love about good restaurants is their habit of featuring seasonal or fresh finds.  One of my favorite local eateries featured beautiful fragrant purple basil from a local grower in it’s caprese salads.  I ate my weight in their sandwich version this past summer.  This next Call wants to feature YOU, or at least your work.  Investigate this opportunity…

On top of Mt. LeConte, a few miles away (& above) my house, there is over two feet of snow.  It fell in OCTOBER (pictured left).  I hiked to Mt.

Rare Earth

 

It is partially a gift of the subject itself, how varied the genre of landscape photography can be.   Combine the extremes of the land each of us has walked, with the variety of visions each of us chooses to communicate, and we’re bound to witness just how rare our earth can be.

They are looking to see a range of what landscape images can be:  macro details to vast panoramas, conceptual narratives, abstractions, document, or relational gestures.  They hope to feature varied points of view from every crook and bend, angle and junction, on the globe.  With your unique images, Darkroom Gallery will honor the extents of this Rare planet we call Earth.

JUROR: 

It is no wonder William Neill has developed a deep, spiritual connection with nature, being a resident of the Yosemite National Park area since 1977.  His award-winning photography has been widely collected and exhibited in museums and galleries.

His work has been published in several books, and a retrospective collection of his finest landscape photographs was published by Bulfinch Press/Little, Brown & Co, in 1997, entitled Landscapes of the Spirit.  Several periodicals have published his images, and Neill writes a monthly column “On Landscape”, for Outdoor Photographer magazine.  Neill’s corporate clients include: Sony Japan, Bayer Corporation, Canon USA, Nike, Nikon, The Nature Company, and Sony Music/Classical.

Perhaps most important to the task of jurying Rare Earth, is Neill’s extensive experience in close observation of others’ work – he has been an instructor of photography for 32 years. Mr. Neill is looking forward to the opportunity to see your work, for the purpose of curating what will be an awe-inspiring exhibition of landscape photographs.

More than once I have reported my concerns about the sci-fi food of the future as it is predicted to involve printers and replicators.  Scary.   But, I am certain the Victorians were a little afraid of all the gadgets that were exploding onto the culinary scene during their time; however, the apple peeler and refrigerator turned out not to be so scary after all.  We’ll see.  Oddly enough, this next call sort of combines the Victorian with Sci-Fi, no joke.  Take a look…

Pasta makes me happy.

Music dictates food and scheduling in my household.  As musicians ourselves, we spend a lot of time grabbing food before a gig.  Too much of the wrong type of food (read Mexican), makes for unpleasant belching through most of the first set, but insufficient food (read salad) makes for a grouchy guitarist and missed chords.  I keep telling you folks…Food makes the world go ’round; you’ll believe me eventually.  This next Call is all about the music, not the food.  Love this opportunity...

In french cooking, sauce and knife skills are the beginning of all knowledge. You would be simply amazed by how many sauces start with a basic hollandaise. Similarly, horses are the foundation of many an art class. I had an art teacher that once said to me, “If you can master sketching a the complex form of the majestic horse, all of art is at your fingertips.” I never mastered sketching a horse, but I can make a mean hollandaise. Luckily, this next Call doesn’t require that I SKETCH a horse. Take a look…

There are principles of good design that when used properly, will make a good image much better, and a great image dynamite.  With an understanding of how to apply these principles in making your images, you’ve got a excellent chance at elevating even dull subject matter to visually enticing, and in some instances, simply persuasive.

Does your image use point, line, color, form or shape, space, texture, and/or pattern to effectively communicate your intent?  Does the image portray a sense of unity, balance, proportion, rhythm/repetition/similarity, hierarchy/dominance/emphasis/figure to ground.  Let’s also add a few of the gestalt principles into the mix:  Closure (our tendency to see and assume something which is not technically there/to fill in the missing pieces), Continuance (our tendency to follow a visual or suggested path), and Proximity (the two-dimensional relationship of objects to each other within the frame).  If you have images that clearly illustrate one or several of the above mentioned elements and/or principles of design, they would love to see them.

In Transit

 

Whether by road, sea, rail, air, or other means, vehicles are both essential and ubiquitous in our daily lives. Photographers have documented transportation history, as NASA launched rockets, Ford assembled cars, and the Wright brothers took flight. As modes of transportation, photographers observe the intersections of cultures on public transit and the isolation of solitary commuters on the highway. Modes of transit spawn communities, and photographers have documented biker gangs and houseboats.

Journeys are photographed out of windows of speeding vehicles; blurred, voyeuristic, and fleeting. The vehicles themselves are cultural icons and status symbols: sailboats, muscle cars, Harley-Davidsons, and fixed gear bicycles. For In Transit, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images from and of the vehicles that move us.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.
