SPECIAL
DELIVERY

I have always wondered why I have never received a “____ of the Month” gift for a holiday. Fruit, cheese, beer…you name it, I would love any of them.

Editor’s Note: I know, I know. I can smell the paranoid, suspicious email headed my way about how I shouldn’t promote Calls from newbies. Bottom line…we all start somewhere. They are building a blog and finding a few fans on facebook too.

This blog is only a year old. If everyone had been suspicious, I wouldn’t have a few hundred of you mixed nuts reading these posts everyday. Then where would we all be (she says with an exaggerated sense of self-importance)? Have a little faith, folks. When you expect the best…you very often get it.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Spice of Light

Posted on September 25, 2010September 25, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

FLOURESCENT
RUBBER CHICKEN

I have spent the last two days in a ballroom in Northwest Tennessee at a corporate conference. As you might imagine, the rubber chicken served at ALL of the conferences was not the highlight of my culinary experience. However, I am most surprised that what I missed. More than anything, I missed the sunlight on my face. Flourescent lighting is not your friend. Every chance I could find between seminars I stood in the sun.

Imagine my delight to find this great Call for Entries from Vermont Photo Space Gallery called The Spice of Light celebrates the beauty of nature, specifically light, that we find the essence of our souls. As a phenomenal bonus Vermont Photo Space Gallery, this gallery offers free matting and framing. Take a look…

CALL FOR ENTRIES: The Spice of Light

Fine art nature photographers create emotions, feelings and memories. Sometimes Mother Nature gives you the perfect light, the perfect composition, the perfect colors, and you are able to present your experience exactly as the lens captured it.

Unfortunately, most of the time…she doesn’t. This doesn’t lessen the excitement, the drama, you experienced at the moment of capture. At times like this, you have to go deep within yourself to discover the colors, lines, and shapes that not only express what you experienced, but also transfer that emotion to the viewer.

Color: the Spice of Light is your opportunity to express nature in a manner that doesn’t necessarily express reality, but does express your feelings and experience at the moment of capture. And, by all means, if nature gave you that “perfect moment”, then submit that moment! The Juror wants to see drama through the use of composition, color and light….an image that makes the viewer want to stop and spend time with your creation….an image that makes the viewer FEEL! Remember, it’s within the beauty of nature that we find the essence of our souls.

JUROR: Bruce K. Haley, Jr. uses the camera lens as his paint brush. His bold and colorful presentation of nature has made his work much sought after throughout the United States.

Since November of 2002, Haley’s award-winning art has appeared in over one-hundred exhibitions in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Colorado, North Carolina Michigan, and California. His work is included in many corporate and private collections including six pieces purchased by the state of West Virginia for their permanent art collection.

In Bruce’s words, “Photography isn’t about f/stops, shutter speeds or equipment. it’s about living, feeling, seeing. It’s about opening my mind to learning, not only about the people, places and things around me, but also, about me. Photography, for me, is life living, life giving.”

RULES FOR PHOTO SUBMISSIONS:

Age: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger. a parent or legal guardian may make the submission for you.

Ownership: All submitted photos must have been taken by the photographer making the entry. If you are a parent or legal guardian submitting for a minor, please make it clear.

Digital Submissions: All submissions must be made by digital files through:

1. Upload on VermontPhotoSpace.com or

2. Sent via email to submissions@VermontPhotoSpace.com. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it along with an application form. There is a $5.00 surcharge for email entries.

3. Images should be as large as possible but no larger than 1280 pixels on the longest side, type jpg – set to the highest quality. DPI can be set to any number, but if you must specify something go with 72 dpi.

FEES: Up to three images may be submitted for a fee of $20 US for on-line submission and $25 for email submission. Additional images may be submitted for an additional $5 US per image.

DEADLINE: Images and payment must be received by midnight EST on the submission closing date October 28, 2010.

RIGHTS: Photographers retain all rights to their work, except for submissions accepted for exhibition: artists grant Vermont Photo Space the right to use their images to promote the exhibition and for display on VPS website and for inclusion in an exhibit catalog.

CALL for ENTRIES: New York Photo Show

Posted on September 5, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

SIFT THIS!

Newer isn’t always better. I have wooden spoons and cookie sheets in my kitchen whose original material compositions are virtually undetectable. Sometimes you stick with what you love, but sometimes folks come along regardless of age and instantly recognize the value of something that has worked for someone else forever…like my husband’s second hand flour sifter. Discover an oldie (but goodie) of your own with this show…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Smith Township Arts Council for the 31st Annual Juried Photography Exhibition. This year the theme is alternative processes or contemporary use of historical process, and it is juried by Joy Goldkind. Maybe it is time to break out the pinhole camera again…

Call for Entries: 31st Annual Juried Photography Exhibition

The subject matter for this exhibit is limited only by your imagination! Smith Township Arts Council and Juror Joy Goldkind are looking to show the contemporary use of historical processes. Show them the way in which you bring the past and future together.

Bromoil, albumen, collotype, kallitype, lazertran, anthotype, ziatype, carbon, argyrotype, cyanotype, daguerreotype, gum bichromate, salted paper, photo-gravure, solarplate, tintype, platinum and palladium, van dyke, hand applied emulsions, wet-plate collodion, silver gelatin and combinations of all of the above will be considered.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all photography. Entries may not have been shown previously at Mills Pond House Gallery. Maximum Frame Size 48″ width

ENTRY DEADLINE: November 10, 2010

ENTRY FEE: $45 for up to 3 entries, $30 for STAC members. Artists may join at time of entry.

LIABILITY / SALES: Work will be insured for the duration of the exhibition. STAC will receive a 30% gallery commission on all work sold.

NOTIFICATION: Emailed November 23

GALLERY REQUIREMENTS: Shipping, insurance and display requirements are posted at www.stacarts.org/exhibits

AWARDS:

1st Place: $300 Excellence in Photography Award Sataporn Suravichai Memorial, Winner’s Exhibition Opportunity, One-year STAC Artist Membership

2nd Place: $100 Award of Merit

ABOUT THE JUROR: Joy Goldkind was 50 years old before she took her first photography class, though her back-ground was always based in the fine arts. De-spite an unusually late start, Goldkind’s career as a fine arts photographer has progressed rather rapidly.

Her photographs of nude danc-ers, geishas, drag queens, ballerinas, circus per-formers, etc. have not gone unnoticed. Some-times inspired from a fantasy world, the use of double exposures and slow shutter speeds help Joy to change what is true and expected into a more surrealistic scene. The old world beauty and quality they possess is in no doubt influ-enced by a deep interest in art history.

With the use of the historic Bromoil process as a tool to express her fine art portraits, Joy adds a layer of mystery to her photographs. Very popular in the early 1900’s, the Bromoil process was favored by pictorial photographers who used it to add a more artistic rendering to their work. Each piece is individually inked by hand, therefore no two prints are identical.

CANDIED LECTURE

It has been over a week since I’ve stood on my soapbox and lectured about the advantages of Art Publication. You’ve missed it…haven’t you? Okay, Okay…if you insist, I will take candy from a baby. Here goes: Art Publication is great for your art career. Most exposure is good exposure. There, that’s the short version.

Fraction Magazine has an open-call for submissions for future issues as well as their One Picture Look feature that began in May 2010. Fraction Magazine is an online photography magazine and photographic review.

ART PUBLICATION: Fraction Magazine Open Call

Fraction Magazine was started in a little coffee shop in Albuquerque, New Mexico in March of 2008 by Joshua Spees and David Bram. In 2009, Josh got married, moved to the East Coast, and is now pursuing other photographic avenues.

Today, Fraction Magazine is edited and curated by David, and often includes guest curators and writers such as Melanie McWhorter, Mary Goodwin and Larissa Leclair.

One Picture Look is a new feature (May 2010) to Fraction Magazine.

The idea is to bring attention to the amazing work that is either found on Flickr within the Fraction Magazine Flickr Group or the work that is submitted directly to Fraction Magazine. The idea is that one photograph, will make you want to look at more.

So if you have one picture, that they just have to see, please visit the submissions page or add it to the flickr group.

The One Picture Look page will be promoted just like the rest of the magazine and will be updated every couple of weeks.

To submit your photographs for the next issue of Fraction Magazine, please send a link to your site and tell them the specific portfolio or body of work to look at. Please remember to put “submission” in the subject line of your email.

Due to the large number of submissions, they will not look at emails with attachments. Send your link to fractionsubmissions@gmail.com .

If you have questions, please visit the Fraction Magazine website.

CALL for ENTRIES: Managed Landscapes

Posted on July 21, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

SHOW ALREADY!

I spend a lot of time answering artists’ excuses about why they don’t enter shows or put their work out there. I have heard them all, and some of them are legitimate.

With the accessibility of digital cameras, photography has taken a hard hit in the retail arena. Many consumers no longer see the value in purchasing photos that they believe they “can take themselves.” Please don’t write to me about all the things wrong with that argument…I get it.

As a result of that sentiment, many emerging photographers have to be very savvy with how and where they choose to submit work. The cost of entry fees, packaging, matting and framing add up fast. Here’s a great Call for Entries from Vermont Photo Space Gallery that takes these concerns to heart and offers free matting and framing. Take a look…

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Managed Landscapes

The touch of man on the natural landscape is all around us. From shimmering cityscapes and rural farms to strip mines and garbage dumps. Let’s see images that show the touch of man, light or heavy, on the earth around us.

“Contemporary landscape photography’s insights and observations reach far beyond the natural environment. A close examination of the land will often reveal more about ourselves as individuals, communities, and society at large.” — Thomas Bachand

Up to 44 photographs will be chosen by juror Thomas Bachand for exhibition at the Vermont Photo Space Gallery, on our website and in a
full color catalog available to the public for purchase.

JUROR: Thomas Bachand has been a professional photographer for over a decade, working in both traditional and digital mediums. His photography has appeared in magazines, advertisements, brochures, and textbooks – both in print and on the web. He writes on digital imaging issues for professional trade publications and lecturers on photography and technology issues.

Tom is the author of Lake Tahoe: A Fragile Beauty. In addition to private collections, his photography can be found in the Bancroft Library and the California Historical Society.

Thomas Bachand’s photography is a consideration of the land and the competing visions that inform our interaction with the world at large. Core to the work is its accessibility to the viewer. The use of color and a documentary style allow for an open and immediate connection to the subject.

By embracing a historical perspective, the photography captures a sense of honesty characteristic of the medium’s early pioneers. Whether creating a single, evocative image inviting reflection or a series conveying a sense of time and place, Bachand’s exploration includes the role of storyteller.

He seeks a convergence of the ordinary – extraordinary only in so much as it is revealing, offering both possibility and contemplation.

RULES FOR PHOTO SUBMISSIONS:

Age: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger. a parent or legal guardian may make the submission for you.

Ownership: All submitted photos must have been taken by the photographer making the entry. If you are a parent or legal guardian submitting for a minor, please make it clear.

Digital Submissions: All submissions must be made by digital files through:

1. Upload on VermontPhotoSpace.com or

3. Images should be as large as possible but no larger than 1280 pixels on the longest side, type jpg – set to the highest quality.
