WoRK
‘It’s a shame that the only thing a man can do for eight hours a day is work. He can’t eat for eight hours; he can’t drink for eight hours; he can’t make love for eight hours. The only thing a man can do for eight hours is work.’–William Faulkner
There are a relatively few topics we can all relate to, the big ones being birth and death. But what happens in-between, for most of us, is the process of living, of getting by, of succeeding, of toil, and of searching. Work could be your job, your 9-5, it could be someone else’s, or it could be the absence of employment, an affliction all too common in this day and age. Work is what we do to feed us physically, emotionally, mentally. Chasing dreams or dollars, show us your WoRK.
The New Orleans Photo Alliance is seeking images that depict the daily drudgery, struggle, joy, and determinism in the life of the human being.
**’WoRK’ will have a sister-show in Lawrence, KS at the Lawrence Percolator. Both shows will focus on the same subject, but utilize different mediums. Receptions will be linked up via web-cam.**
