SUMMARY:David White\, Immersion
DESCRIPTION:David White\, Immersion \nSeptember 12 – October 7\, 2026\nArtist’s reception on Saturday\, September 12 from 4-7pm. \nLightBox Photographic Gallery & Fine Printing\n1045 Marine Drive\nAstoria\, Oregon 97103\n(503) 468-0238\nHours: Wednesday – Saturday 12 pm to 5 pm \nImmersion opens with an artist’s reception on Saturday\, September 12 from 4-7pm. Please join us! \n“The Cascade Mountains of Oregon experience time on a different scale than humans. Humans come and go in a few decades\, mountain ranges come and go at the speed of continental drift. After millions of years of tectonic movement and volcanic activity and erosion\, the central Cascade Mountains underlying Mt. Jefferson and the Three Sisters Mountains are a fractured\, porous sponge soaking up rain and snow where it slowly trickles down to a vast underground body of very slowly moving water. In places that tremendous reservoir spills over and emerges as roaring spring-fed creeks like Olallie Creek in the McKenzie River watershed. After thousands of years immersed underground\, this pure\, pristine water creates an ecological environment that is unique. The water in this creek is crystal clear and tinged blue due to the lack of impurities. Relatively immune to weather\, the Olallie Creek never floods\, never dries out\, never freezes and always flows at 40°F.\, providing conditions that never change for the plants and animals that call this home. \nThis exhibition is the result of soaking myself in this dynamic\, interconnected web of coexistent flora and fauna that survive in comfortable equilibrium in this compact area. This study is limited to the last 200 yards of this mile-long stream just before it merges with the McKenzie River. It is steep – no longer a creek\, not quite a waterfall\, but a steady\, roaring tumble over rocks and under fallen trees that generates a mist that keeps everything above and below the waterline in a steady state of immersion.” \n– David White \nComplete show info is on the LightBox website\, http://lightbox-photographic.com/shows/. LightBox also features work from The Guild at LightBox consisting of Jim Fitzgerald\, Jody Miller\, Julie Moore\, Marc McVey\, Rachel Wolf\, Kathy Radie\, Michael Puff\, Loren Nelson and Nicholas Dill. Contact LightBox at 503-468-0238. LightBox is located at 1045 Marine Drive\, hours Wed. – Sat.\, 12 – 5:00pm \n

SUMMARY:Friderike Heuer\, Fragility
DESCRIPTION:Friderike Heuer\, Fragility \nOpen Now\nReception: Friday September 11\, 5:30 – 7:30 pm. \nColumbia Gorge Museum\n990 SW Rock Creek Dr.\nStevenson\, WA 98648\n(near Skamania Lodge) \nFragility: This 2025 series of photomontages grew out of ongoing concern about insufficient environmental protection. Fauna and flora in these landscapes – photographed predominantly in the Pacific Northwest – are endangered. Climate change and the renewed threat of industrial extraction of resources\, forests and minerals alike\, will do irreparable harm. I thought the ephemeral nature of clouds and the fragility of lace were fitting symbols for why we need step up in our efforts to turn things around.

SUMMARY:Rich Bergeman\, New Work and Old Favorites
DESCRIPTION:Rich Bergeman\, New Work and Old Favorites \nAugust 29 through October 28\, 2026\nArtist reception on Saturday\, August 29th from 1-4 pm. \nThe O’Brien Photo Gallery\n2833 Willamette\, Ste. B.\nEugene\, OR. 97405\nPhone: (541) 729-3572\nThe gallery will be open Tuesday through Friday from 1-5 pm.\nCall to be sure we are open or to reserve a special viewing time.\nhttps://www.waltobrien.net/the-o-brien-photo-gallery \nIt’s been about 10 years now since I converted a spare DSLR camera\nto infrared. Five camera conversions later and I’m still smitten by how\nIR has jazzed up my hitherto feeble efforts at landscape photography.\nI’ve been a diehard B+W photographer since the 1980s\, having burned\nfilm through a succession of 4×5\, 5×7\, 8×10 and pinhole cameras\,\nmostly aimed at the usual suspects—abandoned buildings\, old barns\,\nghost towns\, eerie interiors\, etc—printing in silver and then platinum. \nOccasional forays into straight landscape photography taught me how\nchallenging it is to master the black-and-white landscape print.\nInfrared has become my secret sauce. Those vexingly muddled middle\ngrays characteristic of green scenery when photographed in straight\nB+W hop off an IR print as sparkling highlights (sometimes too much\nso). And those pale blue skies that used to swallow up the clouds now\nshow up as deep rich tones\, setting off the clouds in brilliant fashion. \nAnd now\, voila´\, I’m a landscape photographer. \nhttps://richbergeman.zenfolio.com/

SUMMARY:Kristina Barker\, how old am i? how old are you?
DESCRIPTION:Kristina Barker\, how old am i? how old are you? \nPortland Art Museum Photography Council Lunchtime Talk Series \nWednesday\, August 26\, 2026\, 12 noon to 1pm \nPortland Art Museum\n1119 SW Park Ave.\nPortland\, OR 97205\nwww.portlandartmuseum.org / 503 226 2811\nCost: Free to the public. \nhow old am i? how old are you? \nMy mom was diagnosed at 54 years old with early-onset Alzheimer’s. I was only 29. For the past 13 years\, I have been photographing this experience in an effort to make sense of this consuming loss. At times\, my camera helps me feel more present with what is happening. Other times\, it’s a tool for me to disassociate. My camera became an emotional buoy to survive with. The grief I feel is tremendous and often overwhelming. \nThis collection is not only about losing someone in slow motion\, but also what do the feelings of grief look like? How do I honor my memories of her? What does loss look like? I see so much of how we care for my mom as a reflection of her caring for us as babies and small kids. It feels like a circle of patterns and memories. And I see so much of this experience reflected in the natural world. The collection includes images I’ve made of my mom\, family snapshots\, my journal entries\, and photos my mom took with her cellphone. \nGuided by her introspective sense of place and belonging\, Kristina examines themes around human consciousness reflected in nature. She investigates the idea of where our physical and non-physical worlds intertwine\, observing the bewildering experience of existing as a human. Her practice is heavily influenced by grief\, memory\, and connecting the state of dreaming as a critical part of human life. \nGrowing up in the sprawling San Francisco Bay Area\, Kristina followed her love for rural communities\, living and working in the Black Hills of South Dakota for over a decade. She now lives in Portland\, Ore. with her cat Dills. \nKristina has documented news and communities for The New York Times\, The Atlantic\, High Country News\, The Los Angeles Times\, Harpers\, Audubon Magazine\, Cosmopolitan\, Glamour\, and Mother Jones. \nHer work has received support from the International Women’s Media Foundation and the Portland (Ore.) Regional Arts & Culture Council. She has completed residencies at Jentel Arts (Wyo.)\, Arte Ventura (Spain)\, and Green Box Arts (Colo.). Early in her career\, she broke a 130-year run of men monopolizing the newsroom\, becoming the first female staff photographer and later the first female photo editor at The Rapid City (S.D.) Journal. During that time\, she was nominated twice for South Dakota’s Young Journalist of the Year. In 2023\, she was recognized for her work documenting the challenges of unpaid maternity leave with a Public Interest Award from the American Society of Magazine Editors. \nhttps://www.kristinabarker.com/ \n

Please join us! \n“In April of 2017 I was fortunate to spend ten days exploring a small bit of Cuba\, including Havana\, Cienfuegos and Trinidad. The visual treats of Cuba are a given and I loved capturing the many colors and sights of this great country with my camera; but I also found the people of Cuba to be warm and welcoming. I learned so much in that short ten days and those people are in my thoughts now\, knowing how distressed this wonderful country and its people have been during the last year. It’s a shame that more Americans cannot get there and see for themselves the richness that Cuba offers us. These images are a mere glimpse of the beauty that is Cuba.” \n– Jody Miller \nComplete show info is on the LightBox website\, http://lightbox-photographic.com/shows/.

SUMMARY:Road Songs Exhibition/Franklin Foto Year 2 Anniversary Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Road Songs Exhibition/Franklin Foto Year 2 Anniversary Celebration \nSaturday\, August 1\, 2026\, 5-8 p.m. \nFranklin FOTO \n8953 N Lombard St.\nPortland\, OR 97203\nWednesday – Sunday\, 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.\nhttps://www.franklinfoto.org/ \nCost: Free \nFranklin Foto’s August exhibition will be Michele Thompson’s Road Songs\, which will include work from her latest book of the same name. \nRoad Songs is a collection of images taken over the course of Ms. Thompson’s forty-year career in photography and a lifetime of road trips\, filtered through the music that shaped those experiences. The book is punctuated by short reflections on songs key to road trips and their larger meaning: the longing for a disappearing America and a changing landscape\, what it is to be a woman traveling in the world\, finding the spiritual in the journey and the people you encounter\, confronting death and politics\, joy\, age\, how Bob Dylan might be the best test of a relationship\, and whether The Beatles or Bob Marley are more important to world peace. \nThe exhibition will feature images and music from the book. A very limited number of “exhibition-only” editions of the book will be available for purchase. \nThe opening reception is part of the larger Second Anniversary Celebration for Franklin Foto on Saturday\, August 1\, from 5-8 p.m. The celebration will include live music\, special treats\, and speakers for the occasion. \nMs. Thompson’s work will be on display throughout the month of August. \n

SUMMARY:WHAT WE HOLD & LEAVE BEHIND
DESCRIPTION:WHAT WE HOLD & LEAVE BEHIND \nAn exhibition of photographs & poetry with reading by Oregon seasoned poets. \nJuly 15 – September 9\, 2026 \nOPENING Reception: Sat. July 18\, 2-4PM \nPoetry Reading: 3PM — Collins Gallery\, Central Library (Third Floor) \nPortland Central Library\n801 SW 10th Avenue\nPortland\, OR 97205 \nMonday\, Thursday\, and Friday from 10 AM to 6 PM\,\nTuesday and Wednesday from 12 PM to 8 PM\,\nSaturday from 10 AM to 6 PM\,\nSunday from 12 PM to 6 PM \n  \nThis project is a collaboration between photographer Jim Lommasson and poet Willa Schneberg. Jim Lommasson has created “What We Carry” projects around the U.S. with the houseless\, and with refugee communities who were forced to flee their homelands. Willa Schneberg is the recipient of two fellowships and the Oregon Book Award in Poetry\, both from Literary Arts. \nAt the What We Hold & Leave Behind exhibition at the Central Library Collins Gallery in downtown Portland\, object images are coupled with the poets’ hand-written poems in the white space of 19” x 13” archival pigment prints. Included are their actual physical objects\, memorabilia and artist books. \nThis project celebrates the lives of senior seasoned poets\, including former Poet Laureates Paulann Petersen and Kim Stafford. In his studio\, Jim Lommasson photographed the objects of special significance from over 25 master poets— objects that reveal what truly matters to them\, acknowledgments of well-lived lives in terms of work\, family\, relationships\, identity\, place\, and loss. These elder poets paired Jim Lommasson’s images of their objects with poems\, and hand-wrote them with great care. Some poets with shaky hands employed scribes. They met in Willa Schneberg’s office to share their prints and poems with each other. \nDuring “Cover to Cover\,” the celebration leading up to the 2025 Portland Book Festival\, Jim Lommasson projected slides of each print\, as 20 of the celebrated poets shared their poems to a packed audience of over 70 at the book-cramped digs of Mother Foucault’s in SE Portland. \nIt is important that this exhibition\, reading\, and poetry workshop showcasing this project should be at the Central Library\, which has one of the largest readerships in the U.S. and also one of the few that has an exhibition space. Especially since the pandemic\, it has not always been a place that many\, particularly elders\, have experienced as a safe space. We see it as the magnificent house of books in which poets feel honored to have their work in the John Wilson Special Collections Room\, check out books and visit the Collins Gallery. The poets in the What We Hold & Leave Behind project believe this is the perfect location to show the prints of Jim Lommasson and to celebrate their lives through poetry. \nPoetry Workshop for elders: Sunday\, August 23\, 1-4PM \nOn Sunday\, August 23\, 1-4PM\, Willa Schneberg will offer an inclusive poetry workshop to seniors in the community. Participants will bring their special objects and write poems about them\, (no prior writing experience necessary). \nSuggested registration opens 3 weeks before.

SUMMARY:Winter: Y 2 Y at LightBox Photographic Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Winter: Y 2 Y at LightBox Photographic Gallery \nTerry Thompson & Jim Fitzgerald\nWinter: Y 2 Y \nJuly 11 – August 5\, 2026\nArtist’s reception on Saturday\, July 11 from 4-7pm \nLightBox Photographic Gallery & Fine Printing\n1045 Marine Drive\nAstoria\, Oregon 97103\n(503) 468-0238\nHours: Wednesday – Saturday 12 pm to 5 pm \nThe combined forces of Terry Thompson and Jim Fitzgerald gave rise to their show known as Winter: Y 2 Y (Yosemite to Yellowstone). Their images that capture the feeling of light\, bitter cold and subtle details of their environments are presented as Platinotypes and carbon transfer contact prints. \nRich with precious metals and displaying special techniques developed over many decades\, Terry Thompson’s Platinotypes are unique\, one-of-a-kind glimpses into the frozen world of Yellowstone. The challenges of working with film in sub zero temperatures are many; but the desire to complete his vision overcomes all of these obstacles. His prints\, made by hand\, exhibit his connection to the environment. \nMeanwhile\, the delicate richness of Jim Fitzgerald’s carbon transfer prints transport the viewer through the corners of Yosemite which are only accessible in the cold frozen days of winter. Each hand-made carbon transfer print is a testament to the beauty of this frozen landscape. Utilizing unique pigments and special formulas\, known only to the artist\, the luminous icicles in the frozen waters of Bridalveil creek and rare seasonal snow melts of El Capitan meadow glisten against the steadfast Black Oaks in a three dimensional dance of light. \nThe images of harsh winters of Yellowstone and Yosemite are but a glimpse of their natural beauty that they desperately need to preserve. Everyone must make every effort necessary to save people’s National Parks and environment from the ravages of mankind. Winter: Y 2 Y is a reminder of the power of Mother Nature\, a power that can be subtle or devastating. \n– Jim Fitzgerald & Terry Thompson July\, 2026 \nComplete show info is on the LightBox website\, http://lightbox-photographic.com/shows/. LightBox also features work from The Guild at LightBox consisting of Jim Fitzgerald\, Jody Miller\, Julie Moore\, Marc McVey\, Rachel Wolf\, Kathy Radie\, Michael Puff\, Loren Nelson and Nicholas Dill.

DESCRIPTION:Realms of Perception: Photographic Dualities at LightBox Photographic Gallery \nThe Advanced Alumni Collective\nSusan Burnstine 2025 – 2026 \nJuly 11 – August 5\, 2026\nArtist’s reception on Saturday\, July 11 from 4-7pm \nLightBox Photographic Gallery & Fine Printing\n1045 Marine Drive\nAstoria\, Oregon 97103\n(503) 468-0238\nHours: Wednesday – Saturday 12 pm to 5 pm \nWe welcome the exhibiting artists: \nDaniel Sackheim • Laura Goin • Jim Bailey • Sharon Kain \nMoishe Lettvin • Rebecca Moseman • Philip Sager \nBrigitte Bourger • Landry Major • Jennifer Pritchard \n  \nThis exhibit features the work of the advanced alumni collective of Susan Burnstine. \n“Some artists shoot the world around them; others shoot from within. This group of artists creates from their own worlds\, perspectives\, and experiences with a clear\, consistent intention — a staple of my teaching. \nWhile this collection reflects a diverse spectrum of subjects and processes\, the consistency lies in each artist’s unique connection to the work. This connection is not only personal; it is unusual and difficult to replicate in today’s crowded market\, as it reflects the distinctiveness of each creator. \nRealms of Perception features an exceptional group of artists\, all of whom have studied with me for an extended period\, either in classes or private mentorships over five years or more. From earning a Guggenheim Fellowship to being named among Photolucida’s Top 50 in Critical Mass\, each artist stands out for a truly distinctive vision. \nFor nine months\, members of the Advanced Alumni Workshop worked under my guidance while also participating in monthly reviews with several esteemed members of the photographic community\, expanding their knowledge\, connections\, and clarity of direction. \nThis collective has become far more than a group of students. They are cherished friends\, and it has been an honor to support each of them as they forge new paths of understanding”. \n– Susan Burnstine \nComplete show info is on the LightBox website\, http://lightbox-photographic.com/shows/.

This exhibit offers a visual & immersive representation of the complex subject of dreaming. Long believed to be messages …whether from our unconscious or a source beyond our understanding …dreams have been studied and revered across all cultures. \nDreaming merges what our eyes see and what our hearts feel within our unconscious mind. They are a type of visual poetry that only hints at their deeper meanings & symbolisms. In this exhibit Julie focuses on the visual splendor and sometimes despair of our ‘dreaming world’. Whether dreams bring the softness of our loves & lives to better help us or the darkness to warn us\, they often provide a clearer picture of our angels and our demons. \nStep into a world where dreams transcend the boundaries of reality. how a dream unfolds invites you to explore the intricate layers of dreams through the enhanced lumen process. Images co-created with sun\, silver halide paper\, herbs\, spices and desire. The results are often un-expected and the dream-like qualities of light and form fill the room. \nComplete show info is on the LightBox website\, http://lightbox-photographic.com/shows/.

SUMMARY:Nicholas Dill\, Tides of the Mind
DESCRIPTION:Nicholas Dill\, Tides of the Mind \nMay 9 – June 10\, 2026 \nLightBox Photographic Gallery & Fine Printing\n1045 Marine Drive\nAstoria\, Oregon 97103\n(503) 468-0238\nHours: Wednesday – Saturday 12 pm to 5 pm \n“This portfolio\, ‘Tides of the Mind\,’ explores the liminal space where ocean meets land. The coastline fascinates me as a place of juxtaposition: eternally changing yet constant\, dramatic yet calm. Through long exposures\, these photographs move away from literal description\, becoming places which I feel I have visited in memory but could not exist in waking life.” \n– Nicholas Dill \nAll images are from the Oregon and Washington coast. This entire exhibit is printed in platinum/gold and presented in custom hardwood frames made by Nicholas. \nComplete show info is on the LightBox website\, http://lightbox-photographic.com/shows/.

SUMMARY:What I Carry at Portland Arts Collective
DESCRIPTION:What I Carry: A collaborative photo+writing project with Portland’s Street Community & Photos of Things That Matter: A Collaborative Project with Street Roots Vendors \nMay 7 – 30\, 2026\nOpening Reception- First Thursday\, May 7\, 6 – 9pm \nPortland Arts Collective\n122 NW Couch Street\nPortland\, OR 97209\n(503) 853-0418\nHours: Wednesday thru Saturday 12-5 and by appointment\, anytime (email or call/text)\nhttps://www.portlandartscollective.org/ \nPoetry Readings: Saturday\, May 9\, 2pm-3:00pm \n“What I Carry: Voices from The Street” (video)\, Saturday\, May 23\, 2pm-3:00pm \n“Helpers” (video) by Kelly Clendenon\, Saturday\, May 30\, 2pm-3:00pm \n  \nWhat I Carry: A collaborative photo+writing project with Portland’s Street Community \n  \n“This innovative project explores the burdens\, hopes\, and dreams of Portland’s homeless population through cherished items they carry throughout their lives\, fostering compassion and understanding in a world often divided. Through compelling storytelling and creative expression\, award-winning photographer Jim Lommasson amplifies voices from Portland’s homeless community\, addressing themes of mental health\, addiction\, housing\, personal growth\, family dynamics and illuminates the resilience and humanity behind each object – and the person carrying it. This project resonates deeply for me\, spreading a message of shared humanity and the healing power of empathy.” \n– John Lewis \nPhotos of Things That MatterA Collaborative Project with Street Roots Vendors \nPhotos of Things that Matter trusts that those who live the stories are the ones meant to tell them. Through 35mm film images\, hand-made photobooks\, and zines\, Street Roots vendors trace the places that hold them; streets walked\, familiar places\, and a changing landscape.Their photographs hold a living archive\, and each frame is an act of claiming space. Together\, these stories speak on resilience and imagination\, inviting us to slow down\, look closely\, and truly listen. \nThe photographs presented were created through weekly photography and visual storytelling workshops at Street Roots’ School in the Sky. More than skill-building sessions\, the workshops intend for conversation\, relationship\, and trust. The work does not rely on participants having prior experience in photography; instead\, it builds from their own knowledge and skills\, using image-making and bookmaking as ways to express and tell their stories. With support from peers\, project leaders\, and visiting guests\, each session is shaped by those in the room\, allowing the process itself to guide what is made and how it is shared. \nJim Lommasson is a freelance photographer and storyteller based in Portland. Lommasson is a recipient of the Dorothea Lange–Paul Taylor Prize from The Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. Lommasson’s ongoing collaborative storytelling projects: What We Carried: Fragments and Memories from the Cradle of Civilization with Iraqi and Syrian refugees was exhibited at the Ellis Island Museum of Immigration in 2018. Stories of Survival and Remembrance: A Call to Action for Genocide Prevention was exhibited at the United Nations Headquarters in 2023. \n

SUMMARY:Phil Harris\, Boundless/Duration
DESCRIPTION:Phil Harris\, Boundless/Duration \nMay 7-30 \nFirst Thursday Opening Reception\, May 7th 5-8 pm \nGallery 114\n1100 NW Glisan\nPortland\, OR 97209\n503-243-3356\nThursday-Sunday\, 12-5 pm\nwww.gallery114.com \nIn this exhibition\, I’m pairing two types of large-scale photographic work: Duration and Boundless.The Duration work started a decade ago\, and involves carefully documenting and reassembling processes of time and change. \nBoundless is a more recent\, more open body of work. Boundless is about questions of light\, form and color: an intuitive response to the complexity\, wonder and fluid nature of the world. \nBoth bodies of work are responses to the extraordinary qualities that nest inside the ordinary\, when we take the time and make the effort to look closely. \npharris.art
