CALL for ENTRIES: Photographer’s Forum

Posted on March 3, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PRICKLY COMMENTARY

There have been a couple of sites out there lately screaming about the dangers of free and low entry fee contests and calls. I know that I get accused of being all hearts and rainbows, but I think there is enough negativity out there. You’re smart. Read the fine print. Don’t refuse to enter because it is scary. If I didn’t eat things that looked scary, I would have missed out on sea urchin yumminess. And the world we be a less lovely place without sea urchins, trust me. This next call can be entered for next to nothing. I say… take a chance, but remember to read the fine print about retaining your photographic rights.

Check out this Call for Entries, sponsored by Sigma, for the Photographer’s Forum 31st Annual Photography Contest. It is hard to come up with an excuse not to spend $3.95 for the entry fee, and after 30 years… they have to be doing something right. Enter today!

CALL for ENTRIES: Digital Concept and Construct

Posted on March 2, 2011March 2, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

EAT MY PIXELS

I am annoyed by late-night fast food commercials because my will power doesn’t need the test. But my child falls for those digitally-enhanced, staged food product advertisements everytime. I cannot tell you how many cereals I have bought for him because they “look yummy,” only to find out they are artificially-flavored cardboard. This next Call for Entries shows the positive side of digital manipulaton.

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery (converting from the Vermont Photo Space Gallery) called Digital Concept / Digital Construct. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Dark Room Gallery offers free framing & matting on accepted entries!

Editor’s Note: I know how many of you roll your eyes every time you read that the media for a show excludes computer-generated work, new media and digitally manipulated artwork and photography. If you want more opportunities and to be accepted into the same shows with mainstream traditional media, DO NOT let shows like this one pass you by. This show is made for you. No whining… just do it.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Digital Concept / Digital Construct

This is a digital world. We are surrounded, engulfed by, and reliant upon digital media. It has become a way of life and a way of seeing. As digitally manipulated images become the norm, their fantasy perspectives are becoming the new reality. Is there such a thing as truth and lies in digital art photographs, or is it all just possibility?

Our capacities and aptitudes for creating digital photographic art far exceed what we had imagined. We’re tempted by new technologies – camera phones and point and shoots, the next 80 megapixel medium format digital back, the newest apps, the latest updates – we cannot help but push the proverbial envelope (shadow/highlight recovery, adjustment brushes, the curves line, layer blending modes).

There is art in successful digital imaging and manipulation.

Vincent Dixon, the Wade Brothers, David LaChapelle, the collaborations of Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones, and our Juror, award-winning Photoshop expert Suzette Troche-Stapp are elevating the digitally manipulated photograph to the next level. How do you use it to develop your concepts and achieve your constructs? Whether you are enhancing or altering reality, creating fantasy, retouching, compositing, constructing, how has digital informed your imaging?

JUROR: A photographer since the age of sixteen, Suzette Troche-Stapp has been working in digital imaging since its inception in the 1980’s. Recognized throughout the industry, Suzette was recently named one of the “Top 40 Photoshop Experts,” awarded the “Guru Award” for excellence in Photoshop by NAPP, and nominated for the “Photoshop Hall Of Fame” several years in a row.

Her images are seen in national ad campaigns, editorial beauty and fashion features, and her celebrity images have been broadcast to millions on shows like “The View”, “The Late Show”, and “Kathy Griffin’s Life on the D-List”.

Troche-Stapp is also a workshop facilitator and author, offering tutorials, several published articles and an award-winning book “The Glitterguru on Photoshop: from Concept to Cool.” The Dark Room Gallery is so pleased to have Suzette Troche-Stapp’s digital expertise and commercial experience as Juror for “Digital Concept.Digital Construct.”

SALTY BUT SWEET

I grew up with a single father from age 3 to 13, and it was a culinary adventure. One of my fondest memories is of weekend-long motorcycle trips when I was around 8. We’d climb on and hit the road.

GOODBYE STRAINER

I’m getting a little jaded about kitchen gadgets. I love them, but I am fairly regularly disappointed by their results. But, I have to admit that I’m really excited about the new FoodPod. Too Cool.

Seeing Seeing: Capturing a Moment

Special photographs capture a moment in time of somewhere, someone, something in a way that leaves us spellbound. They reveal, tell, relate, inform, depict what we didn’t really know existed, and leave us wanting for more.

With the proliferation of cameras of all sorts, it’s no wonder everyone sees themselves as a photographer of one form or another. All of these tools beget an enormous number of images created by almost anyone who can get their finger on the “shutter.” But how many of those images are so remarkable we are left breathless as we are introduced to a new insight – a new way of seeing something, perhaps even something familiar?
