NYC4PA CALL FOR ENTRY - ABANDON/ABANDONMENT

What comes to mind when you hear these two words?  Though they have the same root the meanings can be quite far apart. Is your first thought about things abandoned – like that empty building in the tenement section of town that has been left to the elements with broken windows and peeling paint, or is it the person abandoned by a family who needed to move to another location. But there is also the sense of “abandon” – that free-wheeling person, dancing or jumping for joy with arms stretched out, or the child on a playground ride like a see saw with hands in the air and sheer glee on his/her face. 

This call is about those images that depict either interpretation. The field is far and wide and the choice is yours.  Send us your best and, as always, all 2D photography is welcome.
