Darkroom Gallery presents:
Lost
& Found
Calling for Submissions - Deadline: February 6th, 2013
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.
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 us what was lost and you have found.
All selected entries are exhibited in our gallery and included in a
full color exhibit catalog.
Juror's Choice receives a 30x48" vinyl exhibit banner featuring their
image, a free exhibition catalog, free entry into a future exhibition,
and a $300 USD scholarship to be used in admittance to The New England Institute of
Professional
Photography Annual Session in Hyannis, MA USA.
People's Choice gains free entry into a future exhibit.
We offer free matting and framing of accepted entries for the duration
of each of our exhibition, subject to standard sizes. Photographers set
their own prices if they wish to sell their work and retain all rights
to their photographs.
