Portal | Monday, October 22

Portals have given photographers subject matter for their cameras since Niepce began experimenting with photography. There is an intrigue and mystery that begs the photographer and viewer to question and wonder what is on the other side. Elliot Erwitt’s iconic image entitled California Kiss immediately pops into my minds eye. And what about Atget’s images of store fronts in Paris? The Boulevard de Strasbourg image of the corset shop is just one of many images he captured. Sam Abell’s image entitled Through Lace Curtains makes you feel like you are standing right there with him as he snaps the shutter. And we all will never forget the story about Alice and the rabbit hole written by photographer Lewis Carroll. Alice looked thru the opening and found a Wonderland.

Forty five to fifty images will be selected for exhibition and a Blurb full color catalogue of the exhibit with all the accepted entries will be available for purchase. Awards are $325 for Juror’s Award, $250 and an exhibition catalogue for Director’s Award, five Honorable Mentions each receiving an exhibition catalogue and $100 for Visitors’ Choice Award.

Picture This: What We Photograph | Sunday, November 4

This Call for Entry is unique to Mpls Photo Center as it has no specific theme like previous ones. That is exactly what we’re looking for in your images submitted for “Picture This”. The concept is to showcase broad mix of genres and processes, which we believe, will create one of our most compelling exhibits to date. We want to see what you photograph and how you process those images. Portraits, documentary, landscapes, architecture, nature, wildlife, modernist and traditional trends and processes. Digital, film, alternative process, pinhole, iPhone, multi-media (as long as it’s a photograph), anything goes. We suggest you submit a variety of subject matter, rather then a series of the same. It’ll benefit you and offer a greater chance of your images selected for the exhibit.
