Leif Carlson: Semblance show at Darkroom Gallery

Leif Carlson will be exhibiting at the Semblance show, juried by David Carol.
EXHIBIT OPENS ON April 23rd, 2015 at The Darkroom Gallery in Essex, Vermont
Artists' Reception scheduled for May 17th, 2015

I am currently in my second year of the MFA program.  My wife and I are originally from Franklin, Indiana.  Since moving to Savannah in 2013, our son Felix was born (August 2014), and I'm thrilled that my schedule is allowing me so much time with him.  The photo that was selected (Toy Soldier 2) is part of a larger series I am still working on.  I have been documenting boys who participate in war-games and the environments created to simulate battle.

Social selfie: self-promote

Social selfie: How to self-promote your brand through visual media

The dos and don’ts of self-promotion are more and more unclear in a society obsessed with and bombarded by social media. Fashion designer Melissa Coker of Wren, along with videographer Meagan Cignoli and jewelry designer Jennifer Fisher, will discuss how to effectively communicate through media outlets — both traditional and new — without sacrificing the quality and message of a brand.
Presented in conjunction with SCADstyle, this event is free and open to the public.

Wednesday, April 15
2:30 p.m.

SCAD Museum of Art, Theater
Savannah, GA
601 Turner Blvd.

CALLING FOR SUBMISSIONS
DEADLINE April 15th, 2015 Midnight EST Juror: Chris Kovacs 

Black & white photography is a timeless art; always relevant, always contemporary despite being historically ancient. 

Photographer Robert Frank states,

Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.

Darkroom Gallery is calling for works that excel within these monochromatic constraints.  The absence of color adds a sort of purity to images, shows the bones of a composition without the chaff. It allows for the photographer top get creative within a variance of grays, whites, blacks and sepias - abstraction is bred within restraint.  

 

Whether you are a darkroom purist or a Photoshop guru, show us your love for hue-less images.  We want to see your best black and white or alternative process photographs. Pay tribute to the origins of photography.

Natural Realm

CALLING FOR SUBMISSIONS
DEADLINE May 13th, 2015 Midnight EST Juror: Dan Burkholder

Wild, wild wilderness, it's grandeur and grace epically and intimately explored through photography.
Humans have always looked upon the beauty, majesty, and ingenuity of the world around them with reverent wonder. The regular rhythms of the sun and moon, the myriads of living creatures in all their splendid diversity, the magnificence of a flower, a butterfly’s wings or a snow crystal –  The ancient Greeks aptly called the universe kosmos, a word denoting order and harmony. This underlying order is reflected in many intriguing patterns in nature.
 Many of nature’s patterns are related to the golden section and the Fibonacci numbers. For instance, the golden spiral is a logarithmic or equiangular spiral – a type of spiral found in unicellular foraminifera, sunflowers, seashells, animal horns and tusks, beaks and claws, whirlpools, hurricanes, and spiral galaxies. 
Darkroom Gallery is calling for photography that investigates this intrinsic magic in the natural world. From macro shots to large scale landscapes show us your examples of this otherworldly complexity within our natural realm.
