Photographs, like the one below by Kirill Simin, are coming in and the deadline in approaching -- send us your shots, Photogs!
The first event in the series, Coalescence: Volume 1 – Photography and the Word, will turn the process of illustration on its head as the Columbia area’s excellent local writers are invited to respond in short prose form (500 words or less) to photos submitted by our best local photographers. The result? A journey into the imagination of the literary artist as it is stimulated by that of the visual artist in photographic form.
Here’s how to get involved.
Photographers – please select your most evocative, narrative-rich photographic images for submission. While portraits are not prohibited, they may be less likely to induce imaginative response, and therefore, not chosen for this project. We encourage you to choose photographic submissions that depict action or interaction; pictures that show distance, proximity, mannerisms, emotions, relationships, or response. Look for potential clues to the action in your images. Can you can find one or more stories in the image you submit?
A few more things to consider:
If your submission depicts an individual, have your model sign a standard model release form (available at jaspercolumbia.com).
Submit only high-resolution photography to editor@jaspercolumbia.com.
The deadline for photography is October 15, 2011.
Writers – stay tuned to jaspercolumbia.com and the announcement of the winning photographic images selected for your compositional pleasure, and follow the directions you find there.
Photography and the Word will coalesce in December 2011. More details to come at jaspercolumbia.com.Remind
