The Life of Color Praxis Photo Arts Center Minneapolis, MN |
Color is a dynamic dimension, defined by its three unique components: Hue, Value, and Saturation. These elements serve as the fundamental building blocks in the poetic and symbolic realm of color within creative photography. It’s more than a spectacle; it’s a psychological journey. Colors evoke moods, thoughts, and concepts with their mere presence, tapping into psychology, biology, and culture. While black and white photography has its own artistic merits and has been historically significant, color photography is widely embraced for its ability to convey a broad range of information and emotional nuances. Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic art that explores the implications of color as a central device in the creation of compelling photographic art. Curated by Praxis Directors. |

Trees New York Center for Photographic Arts New York, NY |
I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree. Joyce Kilmer wrote those words in 1915. And they hold true today. Trees are all around us in cities, towns and the country. They can be a striking visual, as a standalone in a barren landscape or be part of everyday life in the yard with an old tire swing hanging from a low branch. Trees are much a part of the animal kingdom providing limbs for resting and nesting, as well as wonderful sources of food for so many species. Forests and jungles create whole environments. Trees standing alone on hillsides create lovely shadows. They can be tall and straight like a winter pine or bend and twist as they grow. The art can be found in the leaves, the branches, single trees or in groups of every size from oases to orchards. line. |
