How food looks matters.  There is a reason split pea soup turned up as vomit in The Exorcist.  I love the taste, but let’s face facts folks… split pea soup looks gross.  There is no great surprise that kids find brussel sprouts and wild rice and oatmeal don’t appeal to a large segement of the population.  Why eat peas when you can eat Peeps?  I get it.  But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  This Call for Entries will give you a chance to show beauty (or not) from your perspective.

Check out this Call for Entries for Photowork 2011 from the Barrett Art Center.  Open to all photographic styles and techniques, this is a great chance to be a part of a prestigious show and gain a fan or two while you’re at it.  Take a look…

Photowork 2011

Photowork 2011 is a premier exhibition of new photographic images. The show is visited by art appreciators from a five-county area including parts of Connecticut and New York City.  As a National show, this exhibition brings together photographers from across the country with artists from 30 to 40 states represented each year.

The spirit of the show is a juxtaposition of traditional styles and cutting edge images. The show celebrates the photograph both as FINE ART and as SOCIAL COMMENTARY.  Winners in the past have included traditional 35mm photographs, silver gelatin prints, digital prints and even pinhole camera pictures!  Cash prizes are also awarded.
