Call for entries: Life Images

Life Images is now going to be an annual photography publication by Stampington & Company. The next deadline is August 15, 2009.  The issues usually have a special theme or challenge, and this upcoming volume will especially be featuring work done with Polaroid emulsions.  Another theme will be photos that illustrate this quote by Henri Matisse: “Color helps to express light, not only the physical phenomenon, but the only light that really exists, that in the artist’s brain.”

Life Images will feature the very best of your most artistic, emotionally moving, or expressive photos along with a few of your words. These photos should be of people, places and things important in your life, whether for a fleeting moment or a lifetime. We are interested in your journal entry that would accompany these photos – whether it be a heartfelt short story, expressive comment, or emotional poem. All original or copies of photographs submitted must be clearly identified with the artist’s name, address, email and phone number on each photo. We also require information on the camera make & model, film or digital, altered or unaltered. If altered, please indicate software and techniques used or materials and technique used for manual alteration (i.e. bleaching, etc.) We also ask that your journal entry be attached. If you prefer, you may send the images, copy and photo information electronically to the managing editor Jennifer Jackson at jjackson@stampington.com.
