CALL FOR BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY
What does “black and white” mean to contemporary photographers in the digital age? When Robert Frank made this observation, black-and-white film and silver prints were photography’s most commonly used materials. Nearly a half century later they are approaching “alternative media” status. Or are they? Are the implications and meanings of black and white still central to photography’s unique nature as a visual medium? Submissions to this juried exhibition are limited only by your imagination and your photographic eye. Cash prizes. Entry fee.
