Love + Lust
Photography Calls for Entry
Lust is an intense appetite, craving, or untamed desire. We lust for an array of things—money,
power, objects, sex, or just living life. Love is a powerful affection or personal
attachment and comes in a variety of forms, which can encompass romantic, sexual, platonic, narcissistic, or even religious
feelings or attitudes. Show us your interpretations. Who or what do you love or lust for? What images
capture these emotions for you? (Note: Love and Lust don't
both need to be depicted in your submissions. Choose one or the other ... but then again sometimes they do overlap!)

Judge After

50-year-old camera.
She has exhibited widely including solo shows at the Griffin Museum of Photography, the Fort

Visura, Fraction, Artworks, Lenswork Extended, Shots, Pozytyw, and Silvershotz magazines.
In 2012, Aline received
the Rising Star Award through the Griffin Museum of Photography for her contributions to the photographic community.
Aline founded and writes the blogzine, Lenscratch, that celebrates a different contemporary photographer each day and offers
opportunity for exhibition. She has been the Gallery Editor for Light Leaks Magazine, is a contributing writer for Diffusion,
Too Much Chocolate, Lucida, and F Stop Magazines, has written book reviews for photoeye, and has provided the forwards for
artist’s books byTom Chambers, Flash Forward 12, Robert Rutoed, amongst others.

for Review Santa Fe, a 2009, 2010, and 2011, 2012 juror for Critical Mass, and a reviewer at many photo festivals across the
United States. Though she was nominated for The Excellence in Photographic Teaching Award in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 and

Photography Guidelines
Each volume of Open to Interpretation represents a unique collaboration
between photographers and writers. The content for each book is sought via two distinct calls for entry/submissions:
- Photography
"Call for Entry." After judging takes place, the selected images will be posted online.
- Writing “Call for Submissions.” After viewing the selected
photographs online, writers craft and submit an interpretation of an image in poetry or prose. Two written works will
be selected for each photograph.
____________________________________
Eligibility and Submission Guidelines
Any amateur or professional photographer is welcome to submit work
for consideration. The image must be original and created by the person entering the work. All images created will
be accepted for consideration, including but not limited to film, digital, alternative process, mixed media, digital
manipulations, old world processes, pinhole, solar etchings, iPhone, etc. Either color or black & white is acceptable.
All images must be submitted electronically. Previously published material for which non-exclusive rights were granted
may be entered as long as you still maintain the rights. For a photo in which a person is recognizable, and
the image was taken in a non-public setting, you must secure a model release from the subject and provide upon request.
Mailed/emailed submissions will not be accepted.
Note: Images selected by jurors for publication in a previous
issue of Open to Interpretation are NOT eligible. Images previously submitted but not yet selected for
publication may be resubmitted as often as you wish. ____________________________________
