Open Call - Group Show #65 – Easy Spirit: New Photography On Walking

A lone walker is both present and detached, more than an audience but less than a participant. Walking assuages or legitimizes this alienation.” - Rebecca Solnit, from Wanderlust: A History of Walking.

There is something therapeutic about going on walks and taking pictures – sometimes aimless, sometimes with calculated, project-based parameters in mind. It's a road trip on foot. It's about pause, introspection, mindfulness, and maybe some visual mile-marking.

In today's socially distant, quarantined world, walking (safely!) can be a form of personal liberation – one of the few things we can do outside. Editors note: we acknowledge that these statements about “liberation” may be dependent on certain forms of privilege — we hope to reflect this respectfully in the final show.

For Humble's next online exhibition, we'd like to see your images related to walking.
Interpret this however you like. This will be co-curated by Bryan Formhals and Humble's co-founder Jon Feinstein, with curatorial advisement from Humble’s senior editor and curatorial advisor Roula Seikaly.

Deadline: May 20th, 2020

12 Click-tacular Buzzwords Photography Writers Need To Stop Using (part 2)

Photographic buzzwords are still some of the most heavily used, yet meaningless forms of journalism today.  Possibly the "millennial" answer to The New York Post's historically obnoxious front page headlines, these "delicious" words continue to get our clicks, regardless of how hollow they might actually be. They make stories more "digestible" with language designed to entice even your feline friends. For many photo editors, this tendency towards linguistic carelessness also finds its way into image requests, and for the self-proclaimed intelligentsia, using art-speak can often seem a bit more "complex" than it actually is. Since we at Humble are guilty of all of the above, for the second time, we invited some of our favorite art and photography curators, writers, editors, and producers to share some of their most beloved/hated photographic buzzword pet peeves, which we illustrated using some of our favorite stock photos and illustrations of cats.  Enjoy, and "please share this magical work" widely.
