I live in a cave of wood. In Gatlinburg, you don’t really live unless you live in a cabin. Even my kitchen is wood, wood and more wood. The cave of brown makes me hungry. No joke. My husband has suggested that the cave of wood makes me depressed, and it that the depression makes me hungry. He may be on to something. This next Call is a more positive spin on being surrounded by wood. Take a look…

I live in a town with a population of approximately 3500. We have 1 zip code & area code, 1 post office, and…one grocery store. Luckily, the popularity of my hometown with tourists affords a few luxuries like a recently renovated produce and seafood section in our lone grocery store. I bought salmon there last week, and it came wrapped in paper. Paper. Lovely. Thank you for not adding another piece of plastic wrap to my grocery cart. There is a time and place for paper, and this next Call would be another of them. Take a look…

I just want an Oreo® today. I miss them. Damn the wheat allergy. I hear Glutino makes a fantastic chocolate sandwich cookie. But, it can’t be an Oreo® can it? If it could, it would just be called a gluten-free Oreo. I might give in eventually if my kiddo insists, but for me it is a black and white issue. This next Call is definitely a black and white issue as well. Love this mag…

I one of those folks that orders RARE beef and expects it to actually BE rare. I don’t understand why anyone would choose to eat pork, beef or lamb anything other than rare or medium rare.

CALL for ENTRIES: Faces

SOUR PUSS

Happiness is seeing sheer joy on your teenager’s face when you bring home a ripe avocado. During the chicken finger and fries years, I got so used to the “yuck” face every time something green came across his plate that I was convinced he would end up with rickets or die of malnutrition. Now I just see a happy face at the dinner table except on the rare occasion that pickled beets get a what-the-hell face. Faces are my favorite, and this next Call is a great opportunity to concentrate on them. Just do it; you know you want to…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Faces. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. I have a soft spot for this gallery, so make me proud…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Faces

An enduring fascination with the photographic portrait.

Each portrait reveals something of the sitter, the photographer and also of us as viewers. No one image can muster a whole and complete being, no matter how much we believe this could be so. This is the part of the photograph we create in our imagination, we fill in each crack and hole with a sort of personalized reasoning. And all these unknowns in the midst of true transparency.

Eye contact is made or retracted, body language boastful, reticent or indecipherable. Facial expressions can be hard at work or numbly slack. While subjects have a power over these photographic outcomes, it is the choice of the photographer to coax or mute said expressions for their artistic offering.

Submit work depicting people, selves, faces. People that baffle us with their complexities, personalities or simplistic nature. Make us question how this person existed at this particular place and time.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

MEDIA:
Photography

DEADLINE:
November 13, 2013

Menu planning is great in theory. I do it most weeks only to end up picking out dinner much like throwing a dart at a dart board. I open the frig, find a miscellaneous ingredient like fava beans and base an entire meal on it. It is part laziness and part indecisiveness. My taste buds often object to my meal planning. Hmph. What’s a girl to do? I don’t know either. This next Call involves a dARTboard of its own. Take a look…

I have been on a personal voyage for the past 9 months, and there is no end in sight. My father died in December, betrayed by his body and love of food that didn’t love him back. My grandmother struggles with Alzheimer’s and the loss of both her memory and her appetite. I have been battling my health and grappling with the loss of my decades-long love affair with wheat. I can’t help but believe that it is all a voyage taking me to some unknown path that will be my future. The voyage has already spurred new art. Let the theme of this next Call take you on your own personal voyage. Don’t miss the opportunity…

or CHEESE?

I will emerge from the melted cheese eventually. Yes, I realize I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks. You’ll just have to forgive me. I’ve been dealing with some pretty serious health challenges and complications from surgery. I AM OKAY; I promise. I’ve just been feeling sorry for myself and haven’t been capable of spreading the same generous helpings of optimism for which I am known. I’ve been drowning in the melted cheese of recovery: macaroni ‘n’ cheese, grilled cheese, cheese enchiladas, three cheese lasagna–the food of the depressed and/or recovering. But, I am slowly emerging from the cheesy fog. I had fresh fish tacos last night (with a minimal amount of monterrey jack). So, this next Call seemed like the perfect “I’m almost back” post.
