sardines

Have you ever lost your taste for something?  I used to absolutely love sardines as a kid.  My grandmother would make my uncle Darryl and I sit on the back step outside the back door of the kitchen to eat them.  But, over the years, I fell out of love with them.  I don’t hate them.  I remember the buttery melt-in-your-mouth texture contrasted with the crunchy saltiness of the Saltines, their constant companion.  Maybe it is time to find a can of my old friend sardines again.  This next Call is all about lost & found.  Don’t miss this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Lost & Found. 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. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

Lost & Found

 

To happen upon something
forgotten, forsaken; to find
what was once lost.

Photography eliciting scenes or subjects that meant something to someone long ago or in the recent past.  Foraging in a far away land, or even in your own backyard and uncovering the unexpected. We are looking for photographs that embody this murky realm of faded glory; haunting happenstance, and beauty found in the details dropped by a stranger on the street. Capture those ancient treasures tucked away from plain sight; the handiwork of a craftsman now far away, but re-imagined, and re-discovered by your lens.

Learn more about the Darkroom Gallery online!In light of recent events, we are all feeling a communal sense of loss.  We see that, like material things, people can be lost, sometimes tragically.  They can be misplaced, or forgotten–lost souls, the invisible humans in our midst.  Bring these subjects into the light, show the Darkroom Gallery what was lost and you have found.
