National Competition for Photographs
andPhoto-Based Artwork
At Umbrella Arts,
New York City
Juror, Harvey Stein
SHOW DATES: May 19 - June 18, 2011
THE CALL :
From casual meals to gourmet banquets, DINNER
is part of our daily lives. Whether we celebrate it or just tolerate
it, we can't do without it. We plan greatly for it, or grin and bear
it. It's a ritual, whether eating on the run or at the dinner table,
alone or with friends and family. We romance and socialize around it,
worry about it, prepare for it, dread it, or try to ignore it. We study
recipes, look through fancy restaurant windows in envy, are hungry for
the next DINNER, wonder if we can afford it. We want to see your photos
of your DINNER (and/or others) and what you do when you are there.
Whether your photographs are of a person eating a piece of pizza on the
subway, a Thanksgiving or Passover feast, or a lonely individual at a
diner, we are interested. From shopping for it, preparing it, indulging
in it, or cleaning up afterwards, make your photos as personal,
interesting, sensual, fun, beautiful, startling as you can. No DINNER
is out of bounds.
