KNOWLEDGE

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…

DAYDREAMING

I have been working on a menu for months now.  I have virtually no free time.  Amongst the art show, music gigs, cooking, cleaning, blogging and family time, there is precious little time for day dreaming.  Nonetheless, the soup is always simmering in my mind.  I have been working on a menu for a bistro for months in my head.  I’m narrowing down the theme and am going to start working on food cost projections soon.  Where is the bistro?  In my head.  Here a chance to spend time putting your daydreams down on paper.  This is a great winter project…

I believe that I am what I have eaten. I have learned that the contents of my diet directly informs my mood, energy level, and even my creative tendencies. I love fried chicken as much as the next sad and depressed person, but I have learned that fried chicken doesn’t make it better.  A crusty loaf, ripe wedge of brie and a handful of raspberries can transform my body and my mind.

The Human Form

 

Our bodies:
forbidden, subverted, suppressed.

Our bodies:
elevated, venerated, and sanctified.

The human form is unceasingly beautiful, complex, and remarkable. It is one of the very few things that all of us has in common, and yet is a source of perpetual cultural, spiritual, and scientific dissension. What better proof of this diversity than through the Photographic Arts; the Human Form has been its eternally devoted, perpetual muse. 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.
