It's that time of year where the Photography contests or in this case the Mobile Photography contests are coming into view. With holidays that are lined up one right after another, you may want to enter or even have a friend enter their work. The MPA's are holding their 3rd annual awards staring October 4 lasting through December 3, 2013. Opportunities for exhibits, open gallery calls, fine art sales, and annual cash and prizes of more than $15,000. Entry fees remain the same as last year: $20 for 3 images, $30 for 5 images, $50 for 9 images and $100 for 20 images. The MPA/DIPTIC Photo Essay is a separate $25 entry with its own $500 prize and gallery exhibit. So what are you waiting for.
Shooting close to home, take the garden for a whirl or even your garage. Go into macro mode and take a close up shot of that old buick that lives behind closed doors or of that gnome that keeps watch over your garden. The best bet that I always choose is the park that is not even a block away. No need to travel extensively if the world around you has things going on, and it's happening in your own backyard. What can you capture in your home or your neighborhood?
Thanks to Queenie Liao's baby boy, she has made his dreamlands into a photographic project. The series titled Wenngenn in Wonderland, she takes advantage of his naptime to create this beautifully, colorful worlds that maybe little Wenngenn is dreaming up. Growing up with fairy tales and endless possibilities, Liao took it upon herself to keep track of not only her growing boy but of the mysterious adventures that lingers in all the minds of children.
