Last night I imagined my self in a white chef’s coat and orange clogs while dozing off on the couch.  I must have been channeling Mario Batali, or maybe it was just eating antipasto a little to late in the evening.  This next show is all about imagination, but then again–shouldn’t EVERY show be about imagination?

Check out this Call for Entries for Imagination brought to you by the A. Smith Gallery (Johnson City, Texas).  The entry fee is low, and you can’t ask for a better theme.  Take a look…

“A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral”. –Antoine de Saint Exupery

“I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.” –Pablo Picasso

“Imagination feeds the need to photograph. Since I can remember, I have loved to create with my mind and my hands. This desire was instilled by a mother and grandmother who shared the same compulsion. These imaginative women taught me to dream and experiment. ‘I-mag-i-na-tion’ is your opportunity to imagine and create. Get outside the conventional with this one. Don’t just photograph the pear; hide it underneath a cloth napkin and see what happens.” — from the A. Smith Gallery website.

Earthy foods are yummy.  I know that is obvious to many of you.  But, I have to say that learning to appreciate earthy foods is the biggest change in my palate over the years.  I’m still not a fan of what I call “dirt crackers.”  I DO have my earthy limits, but I am in love with whole grains, whole foods, in fact.  And the earthiness of merlot doesn’t exactly hurt my feelings.  Food should taste like itself, not the over-refined, processed version of itself that is so cheaply and readily available these days.  This next show wants to see earthy through your eyes.  Interesting…

Check out this Call for Entries for Earth Through a Lens, a dual media photography show–both camera and cell-phone based.  The camera work entry fee is high, but the prizes are great.  The cell work entry fee is low, but the exhibit isn’t as exciting.  Take a look…

Being aware of serving sizes sucks.  It takes all the fun out of over eating.  I’ve been on a lot of diets over the years, but the only thing that really works is being AWARE of what you put in your body.  The serving sizes I use most often?  A deck of cards is about the size of an appropriate portion of protein like fish or chicken, and a square inch is approximately 1 ounce of cheese.  Moderation sucks.  Moderation x 20 is a little more my speed.  Let me know what you think…

She holds a BFA in photography from the School of Visual Arts, Manhattan.  Amber has assisted with programming at Center, a Santa Fe-based non-profit organization that supports photographers. Her taste in photography tends toward emerging and established artists with strong personal projects, surprising content and evidence of political or social engagement. She’s most drawn to introspective, provocative work.

Learn more about Juror Dina Bova!Dina Bova was born in Moscow and currently lives in Israel. Her images have been awarded in Px3, Hasselbald Masters, Sony Awards, 1st edition of the JMCA, Nikon, PDN’s World in Focus, and have won 21 Gold medals in international photo-contests under FIAP/PSA patronage in USA, Austria, France, England, Croatia, Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel. Her art is a world of allegories, metaphors and multifaceted associations. She thinks that it’s not important how an artist creates his work. It can be created with any tool and any medium, but it should speak for itself and convey a very special mood. It should need no explanation, no elaboration and no apologies. It can be very aesthetic or the opposite of it. For Dina, the most important thing  is freeing the imagination.

AWARDS:  The Julia Margaret Cameron Award will be given to 12 women photographers which will be invited to exhibit (and sell) their work in a very selective collective exhibition in Paris during 2013, honoring one hundredth year of the birth of Robert Capa, co-founder of Magnum Photos and famous war photojournalist.
