Call for Entry | Emerging Photographer
Due: March 7, 2016
Emerging Photographer | PDN Each issue, Emerging Photographer features a new group of talent with five or less years of professional experience, selected by editors from Emerging Photographer, PDN and Rangefinder.
We love the diverse work we receive from photographers around the world, all with different styles and stories to tell. One of last year’s selected photographers, Luisa Dorr, immediately grabbed our attention with her documentary series on a young girl, Maysa, who aspires to become Miss Brazil. From the intimacy of the photos, to her use of beautiful light, to the careful 10-image edit of her series, we knew that Dorr deserved a platform for her series. She and nine other photographers each received features in the Winter 2015 issue, which was sent to photo editors, art buyers and creative directors, in addition to galleries and photo festivals. Digital editions are posted on issuu.com (see them atwww.issuu.com/eephotogroup). We want your work for the next issue. Visit emerging.pdncontests.com to enter. for more information on how to enter.

15th Annual JEG Photography Exhibition
15th Annual Joyce Elaine Grant Photography Exhibition
TWU East | West Galleries
Exhibition Dates: February 15 – March 9, 2016
Opening Reception: February 16, 2016 | 5:30 – 7:00 pm
Guest Lecture with Juror, Dr. Rebecca Senf: February 16, 2016 | 4:00 – 5:00 pm
Juror’s Statement:
Theme: “Nourish: Food as Sustenance and Pleasure”
Food is the foundation of life; it is sustenance for our bodies and can be the source of great pleasure. We live in a time where food is abundantly available, and yet we have to evaluate grocery store items to determine if what is being offered is actually “real food.” (Fruit Loops, Cheetos, Twinkies, Cheez Whiz. Not real food.)
This is a moment of farm-to-table, locavore, slow food, craft and small batch production, as well as a panoply of ways to describe what we eat, including veganism, pescetarianism, flexitarianism, paleo, and gluten-free. Food (and eating) can be fraught with negative emotions, like guilt, sadness and regret, while at the other end of the spectrum, making food for others can be a profoundly generous and nourishing act. These dichotomous ideas, and range of diets, complicate our relationship to food.
Naturally food has inspired art, and this dynamic selection of works demonstrates that photographers have explored food in all its stages, with a wide range of concerns. Everything from abstracted and aestheticized images of food to pictures that document where our meals come from, these photographs go from appetizing to repulsive, sometimes managing to be both simultaneously.
Grab a napkin, pull up a chair, and find yourself something to eat. Just watch out for the Twinkies.

Time In: Refocusing the Lens of Motherhood | Elizabeth M. Claffey
Congratulations to Texas Woman’s University Alumna Elizabeth M. Claffey for having her work featured in Time In: Refocusing the Lens of Motherhood, an exhibition curated by Larry Gawel. The exhibition runs through February 21, 2016 at the Elder Gallery at Nebraska Wesleyan.
Nebraska Wesleyan’s Elder Gallery features a photography exhibit that explores children’s lives through their mothers’ camera lenses.
“Time In: Refocusing the Lens of Motherhood” runs through February 21. The exhibition — curated by Larry Gawel of WorkSpace Gallery in Lincoln — features 11 contemporary female photographers and mothers who have chosen their children as the subject matter in their photographic work while transcending the notion of the snapshot or the school portrait.
Featured artists include: Rocio De Alba, Middle Village, New York; Elizabeth Claffey, Bloomington, Ind.; Joy Christiansen Erb, Youngstown, Ohio; Tytia Habing, Watson, Ill.; Alaina Hickman, Omaha; Toni Pepe, Malden, Mass.; Suzanne Révy, Carlisle, Mass.; Heather Evans Smith, Winston Salem, N.C.; Sheila Talbitzer, Omaha; Jessica Tampas, Chicago, Ill.; and Jamie Tuttle, Evanston, Ill.
Elder Gallery hours are Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday-Sunday, 1 to 4 p.m.
A panel discussion with the curator and artists Alba, Habing, Révy, Tuttle and Talbitzer will be held Friday, February 5 at 4 p.m. Together they will share their thoughts on what transcends a snapshot, how one makes an image of a child have universal appeal, career vs. family for women in the arts, and technological advances for photographing children, among other topics. A reception will follow from 5 to 7 p.m.
Elder Gallery is located inside the Rogers Center for Fine Arts, 50th Street and Huntington Ave. Admission and parking are free.
Elizabeth is an Assistant Professor of Photography at Indiana University in Bloomington. She is an honors graduate of Earlham College and has an MFA in photography from Texas Woman’s University, where she also earned a Graduate Certificate in Women’s Studies. She received a 2012-13 William J. Fulbright Fellowship, which she used to support her documentary and creative research in Eastern Europe.
