Hi, thought your readers/members/students might be interested in this invitation to be part of something original and creative. Please help us spread the word.

Open to Interpretation brings together photographers and writers in an exciting and innovative book project that has never been done before. Each book begins with a themed call for photos. The chosen photos become the literary inspiration for the writers' submissions. A book is created that matches each winning photo with two stories or poems that offer different interpretations of the image. The unique collaboration adds new dimensions to both the photos and the written word.





Current Calls for Photographs Intimate Landscape


Entries Due October 18, 2011
Submission Fees $40 for 5 images ($10 each additional).


Theme Intimate Landscape. Landscapes conjure images of vast, sweeping scenes, but the details captured by a photograph can turn a seemingly impersonal setting into an intimate story. It's up to the artist to define what constitutes an intimate landscape, be it representational, non-representational, urban, suburban or rural.



Judge Karen Irvine is Curator and Manager of Publications of the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College Chicago.

She received an MFA in photography from FAMU, Prague, Czech Republic, and an MA in art history from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
