anyone?

Eating solely by candlelight is not romantic.  When the world is teaching its young boys and girls romantic guestures, the candlelit dinner is among the cliches reinforced repeatedly by television and print ads.  Yes, candlelight is lovely and flattering, but not SOLELY candelight.  I want to see what I am eating, or about to eat.  I want to enjoy the presentation of the food.  I DO NOT want to accidentally put a forkfull of wasabi in my mouth by accident.  This next Call COULD be all about candlelight.  What’s your bright idea?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Water Street Studios (Batavia, IL) for Illuminate.  This is their first themed show, and I’ve gotta say…loving the idea.  Themes usually make you think outside your comfort zone, but not everyone thinks about how their piece will be lit.  Investigate this one…

Trail mix is another reason that I don’t hike.  Well, that and the shoes.  My girlfriends and I are scheduled to hike up to LeConte Lodge in May of 2012.  At an elevation of 6593′, I’m clearly going to have to give up the stilettos, but I’m still hoping I can smuggle some brie and pate in my backpack.  Maybe the folks sponsoring this next Call might have some suggestions.  Maybe I’ll ask…

When I am cold, I live on soups and stews.  Currently, I am cold and dreaming of oyster stew.  However, as I frequently complain, my husband is allergic to seafood.  So, no oyster stew for me.  Do you know who else loved oyster stew?  Abraham Lincoln.  Fascinating.  History isn’t my strong suit; however, I seem to be well-versed on historical food favorites for some reason.  Most people know about his pinchot for apples, but not the delectable stew I currently crave. This next call is not about Lincoln, but it is LOCATED in Lincoln. Take a look…

The body insights love, loss, envy and greed, devotion and esteem – as one of our most valued photographic subjects, our images do the same.

Call me closed minded, but there are somethings that I am not interested in eating. Nature is in my face here in the Great Smoky Mountains, and we eat local honey for its ability to help reduce our allergies.  However, I am not drinking poison ivy tea everyday for 6 weeks to reduce my chance of breaking out in a rash.  People do it.  I went on a guided hike and listened to my naturalist explain the ritual to me.  Call me crazy, but you shouldn’t eat anything whose name starts with “poison”.  Some things ought not be disturbed. This Call for Entries is proof that others think the same.  Read on…

The Built Environment

Images that capture a vision of the man made world around us.

We’ve been documenting the built environment since the beginnings of photography. It’s natural – our lives are entwined with and dependent upon structures of all kinds. Let us examine the genius designs, abundant materials both found and fabricated, engineering feats, beauty and function, of our constructed environments. Technical mastery has much to do with a great architectural photograph, but also an understanding of the architect’s vision, and/or the humanity that invigorates and utilizes its spaces.

Learn more about the Persona show at the Darkroom Gallery!Whether a skyscraper or a shed, chasm span or walking bridge, from convenience store to industrial complex, public or personal (heck, an outhouse is a pertinent structure), and even the remains of such, Darkroom Gallery is looking forward to featuring your built environments.

JUROR: With an engineering degree from Trinity College (Dublin) and an Architect/Author father (Raymond McGrath), Norman McGrath was primed for educated view of his subject. He has been photographing architecture and interiors for decades, capturing the work of major architects and designers and their well-known works. His images have been featured in the foremost architectural publications, as well as his popular book, “Photographing Buildings Inside Out”. The American Institute of Architects selected McGrath for its Institute Honor award. McGrath continues to author and co-author books illustrated with architectural photography (“Manhattan Skyscrapers”, “Skyscraper Rivals”, and New York’s Pennsylvania Station”) as well as educate and inspire students of photography at the Maine Photographic Workshops, the Palm Beach Photo Workshops, and the Calumet Institute of the University of Maryland.
