HUMAN “BEANS”

We all hear basic needs defined as food, water and shelter, but there is a lot of wiggle room in those standards.  With folks now obsessed with organic foods and bottled water, I suspect the acceptable norm will continue to shift.  This next Call invites you to dig deeper into what it means to BE HUMAN not just survive.

Check out this Call for Entries for Human + Being from the Center for Fine Art Photography in Colorado.  I personally love portraiture, and I can’t wait to enter this one.  Join me…

Human + Being is an equally complex equation, the sum of these parts a richly textured experience unique to the individual but shared universally. Triumphant, tragic, absurd and the quiet significance in between, our stories unfold without cease. Explore the emotions and actions that define being human.

ELIGIBILITY:  The exhibition is open to all photographers world wide, both amateur and professional.  The Center invites photographers working in all mediums, styles and schools of thought to participate in its exhibitions.
