SUMMARY:Realms of Perception: Photographic Dualities at LightBox Photographic Gallery
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/. 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: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/.

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: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
