As of this writing (5/18/2022), the gallery requires proof of COVID-19 vaccination (including booster), or proof of a negative COVID-19 test within the last 48 hours to enter the gallery. Wearing a proper mask while inside is highly recommended.

Philip Bowser is pleased to announce his photographs, “Blue: Exploring Duotones,” will be available for viewing June 1, 2022 through July 31, 2022 in the Portland Photographers’ Forum Community Drawer in the flat storage area of the Blue Sky Gallery, 122 NW 8th Avenue, Portland, OR 97209.

Many people had creative blocks during the last two years. Philip found re-working old images using a duotone process helped him to break out of a blue funk and get back to making prints. How he stumbled upon this solution, plus ten matted examples, will rest in the Portland Photographers’ Forum community drawer for two months, waiting for somebody to pick them up and hinge up the mat for a closer look. They are signed and annotated on verso.

The prints are available for sale, but should remain in the drawer until the end of July. If you just happen to fall in love with an image, but cannot afford it, send an email to pbowser@me.com. Describe your experience—what was it like to want to take home that print. At the end of the display, Philip will give away one of the prints.
