SUMMARY:Glenna Jennings at Blue Sky Gallery (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Glenna Jennings\, At Table \nDecember 3\, 2020–January 30\, 2021* \nZoom Artist Talk with Glenna Jennings\nWednesday\, December 9\, 5:00 PM PST (RSVP link)\nFree and open to the public. \n*To do our part to help our community in fighting the growing COVID-19 impact\, we will close Blue Sky to the public on November 29. Our December/January shows will go up as planned\, and while we will remain closed until the freeze in Multnomah County is lifted\, we ensure there will be many ways for you to enjoy the new exhibitions virtually. Stay tuned and please\, please stay safe! \nIn her ongoing series At Table\, photographer Glenna Jennings focuses her lens on everyday moments shared over meals in dining rooms\, kitchens\, restaurants\, and bars around the world. Her images capture subtle drama and humor\, while also functioning as cultural artifacts and personal memories. Since 2005\, Jennings has been traveling to locations throughout the United States\, Mexico\, Canada\, China\, and Europe\, but in 2020 the global pandemic kept her close to home in Dayton\, Ohio. Photographing smaller\, socially-distanced gatherings provided new imagery to the series “that will serve as a reminder of the year we struggled —separately and together—to survive a global pandemic while putting food (and often drink) on the table.” \nGlenna Jennings is an artist and educator whose work includes photography\, curating\, and socially-engaged art. She is an Associate Professor of Photography at the University of Dayton\, Ohio\, and completed her MFA in Visual Arts at the University of California\, San Diego in 2010. She also holds BAs in English and Spanish from Pepperdine and a BFA in Photography from Art Center College of Design. Jennings has exhibited throughout the US\, Mexico\, Europe\, and China. Recognition of her work includes several Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Awards and a Robert Rauschenberg Residency Award through Photolucida Critical Mass 2019. Her work resides within the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego\, AMNUA Museum China\, The Center for Photography at Woodstock\, and multiple private collections. She is actively involved in food justice issues in Dayton\, Ohio and beyond\, and was recently awarded the Educator Food Champion award at the 2019 Montgomery County Food Summit for her work with Desert Kitchen Collective.

SUMMARY:PCPDX ‘Picture Picture; The Photographer Behind the Photos’ featuring Teresa Meier; a Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Teresa Meier\nPCPDX ‘Picture\, Picture’ Presents \nSaturday\, November 14th\, 2020\, 6-8:00 PM\n$10 contribution (also gets you a raffle ticket for the evenings GC’s)\nRSVP HERE: http://evite.me/Ycdf7Jk3Qh\nhttps://www.photoclubpdx.com/events/nov-2020-picture-picture-teresa-meier\n \n“I contemplate the shared truths of the human story–love\, fear\, home\, family\, birth\, aging\, dying–through the lens of the surreal. In a series of autobiographical self-portraits\, I examine identity within the context of family history and the natural world. The work tackles the interwoven complexities of past and present and\, specifically\, how the past shapes and dictates our perception of our present self and relationships. I encourage introspection and inspire awe through journey-like narratives and fantastical landscapes embedded with unexpected juxtapositions of characters and settings.”

SUMMARY:Christopher Landis at NewZone Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Landis\, Las Vegas Pandemic 2020\nPresented by Photography At Oregon \nNovember 4th through November 30th\nReception is November 6 from 5pm to 8pm \nAn Artist Talk will take place on ZOOM at 1:00 pm November 8th\nUse this link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84646523312 to join \nNewZone Gallery\, Klausmeier Room\n22 West 7th Ave Eugene\, Oregon\n(541) 517-1488‬ Steve LaRiccia\, Gallery Coordinator\nTuesday through Sunday 12 to 6pm\nMask Required \nBy March 18th 2020\, a statewide response to the COVID-19 pandemic ordered the closure of all non-essential Nevada businesses. Overnight\, Las Vegas casinos\, hotels\, restaurants\, clubs and shops were shuttered. With a workforce dependent on tourism\, the city was hit hard by unemployment resulting from the temporary pandemic closures. Host to an annual 42\,000\,000 visitors\, the famed “Strip” was suddenly a western ghost town. The thousands of autos and pedestrians that packed Las Vegas Boulevard\, all but disappeared. Skateboards and families on bicycles were seen cruising the abandoned strip. Known as the busiest intersection in the world\, the junction of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana was all but vacant. \nIn early May\, after 78 days mandated closure\, some Las Vegas attractions gradually reopened with reduced occupancy\, social distancing and COVID-19 cleaning protocols. Christopher Landis has captured this surreal Las Vegas landscape at one of it’s most poignant moments in his series of photographs exhibited at the NewZone Gallery in Eugene\, Oregon. \nChristopher has an MFA in Photography and an MA in History. His fine art landscape portfolios have been exhibited and collected throughout the United States. Landis’ documentary works Pilgrimage: Images from Manzanar\, and In Search of Eldorado: The Salton Sea earned international recognition. New projects in process include\, Names on the Land\, Common Places: American Battlefields\, Viewpoints\, Return to Eldorado: The Salton Sea and Las Vegas Pandemic 2020. Recently retired from a 45 year career as a business owner/manager\, decades of photo works will soon be published in print and on the web. \nhttps://www.christopherlandis.com/ \n

SUMMARY:Patrick Plaia at PhotoZone Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Plaia\, Graves of Rarotonga\nFeatured Artist\, PhotoZone Gallery \nNovember 5 to December 1\, 2020\nReception:  November 6th\, 2020 from 5:00pm to 8:00pm\nMASKS REQUIRED \nPhotoZone Gallery\n22 West 7th Ave.\nEugene\, Oregon\n541-683-0759\n12:00 to 6:00 pm Tuesday through Sunday\nhttps://www.photozonegallery.com/\nOpen to the public \nRarotonga is the main island of the Cook Island group\, which is located in the South Pacific between the Fiji Islands and the Polynesian Islands. It is populated by Polynesian Maori and New Zealand English. I visited the Islands for three weeks in the Spring of 2001. \nTraveling around the Islands I noticed graves and gravestones decorated with colorful plastic flowers and portraits of the deceased. These gravestones were not only in churchyards but along roadsides\, on the edges of farm fields\, and in resident’s front yards. The Maori are very connected with their ancestors and feel more confortable having past family members close by. Their relationship with the deceased shows a blend of native religion and Christianity. \nI photographed this project on black and white infrared film. They are printed on silver gelatin photographic paper and hand painted with oils.

SUMMARY:Jay Mather at the Portland Art Museum (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Jay Mather\, From Cambodia to the Cascades: A photographer’s visual life\nPortland Art Museum Photography Council’s\nBrown Bag Lunch Talk Series \nWednesday\, October 21st\, 2020 Noon – 1 pm \nZoom: Click here to register \nFrom Cambodia to the Cascades: A photographer’s visual life. \nA photojournalist working in the newspaper industry covers wide-ranging topics\, events\, and people. In the arc of my fifty-year career there are several topics that are the core of my evolution from Pulitzer Prize photojournalism to the serenity of landscape photography in Oregon. \nWhen I reflect on these projects\, I understand how each one moved me visually in a new direction and added a deeper respect for the value of documentary photography. \nFrom Cambodia\, Yosemite National Park\, the world of ballet\, artists of the Sisters Folk Festival and now central Oregon\, telling the story of my home\, this is my photographic life. \nJay Mather is a Pulitzer Prize awarded photojournalist. His interest in photography\nbegan while he was a United States Peace Corps volunteer in Malaysia\, 1969-70.\nDuring his career he worked in Denver\, Colorado\, Louisville\, Kentucky\, and\nSacramento\, California. \nDuring Jay’s career he has covered a wide range of subjects and people. He has\nspent time with Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity\, Pope John Paul II\nand President Clinton. On the other end of the spectrum he has worked on projects\nabout hunger\, homelessness\, AIDS\, and other issues that remain timely today. \nIn November 1979\, while working for the Courier-Journal in Louisville\,\nKentucky\, Jay and fellow journalist Joel Brinkley\, traveled to the Thailand-\nCambodia border to document the massive exodus of Cambodian refugees fleeing\nthe wrath of the Khmer Rouge regime and the invading North Vietnamese Army.\nThis was the beginning of what the world would come to know as the Killing\nFields. Their stories and photographs\, a four-day series published in the\nLouisville Courier-Journal\, were awarded the 1980 Pulitzer Prize for International\nReporting. \nJay has also been a recipient of the Robert F. Kennedy Award for Coverage of\nthe Disadvantaged. \nJay has a deep love and respect for the environment. He has hiked and climbed\nwhile photographing throughout the western United States for projects on\nYosemite National Park\, the Desert Protection Act in California\, the declining\nhealth of the Sierra mountain range\, and climate change in Colorado River\nBasin. The Yosemite Association published his book\, “Yosemite\, A Landscape of\nLife\,” in 1990 for the centennial celebration of the park. For this project he was a\nfinalist in the 1991 Pulitzer Prize Feature Photography category. \nJay’s current work examines the natural beauty of central Oregon\, the Cascade\nRange and the high desert and the threats brought by climate change. He divides\nhis efforts between the Deschutes Land Trust and the Sisters Folk Festival\,\ndocumenting the activities in those non-profit organizations. \nJay Mather\njaymather.com \n

SUMMARY:Bill Laing\, S.J. Luke\, Paul Barden and Phil Coleman at Linn-Benton Community College w/virtual talk
DESCRIPTION:Bill Laing\, S.J. Luke\, Paul Barden and Phil Coleman\, POV/Botaniques \nAn on-line exhibit presented by the Art Gallery at Linn-Benton Community College\nhttps://www.linnbenton.edu/student-life/arts-and-performance/galleries/digital-exhibitions.php \nOctober 14 through December 9\, 2020 \nGallery Talk on Zoom October 20th from 5 to 6pm\nhttps://linnbenton.zoom.us/j/93335169122 \nLinn-Benton Community College\n6500 SW Pacific Blvd.\nAlbany\, Oregon 97321\n541-917-4999\nlinnbenton.edu \n“POV/botaniques” is an on-line exhibit featuring four perspectives on plant photography hosted by the Art Gallery at Linn-Benton Community College Oct. 14 through Dec. 31. Because the Albany campus is closed to events this term\, the exhibit has moved on-line. It can be seen at https://www.linnbenton.edu/student-life/arts-and-performance/galleries/digital-exhibitions.php \nThe photographers\, one from Arizona\, one from Northern California and two from the Corvallis area\, will take part in a Zoom gallery talk on Oct. 20 from 5-6 p.m.. The talk is open to the public at https://linnbenton.zoom.us/j/93335169122. \nEach of the four photographers in the show take a different approach to their search for art within various forms of flora: \n•Phil Coleman explores the hidden details deep within flowers through extreme closeup views that play with color and design. “The symmetry and frequent color contrasts\, undoubtedly encoded in their genes\, attract my eye\,” says the Philomath photographer. “Most of the time\, a macro lens combined with the merger of many images (focus stacking) let me show features that would be hard to capture in a single photo.” \n•Stephanie Luke uses light and shadow to reveal surprisingly mysterious milieus in the natural surroundings of her suburban neighborhood of Cottonwood\, Calif. “The search for inspiration is an on-going part of our journey as artists\,” says Luke. “My hope is to always be flexible and open enough to realize when it appears. This group of images represents a sampling of what I discovered.” \n•Bill Laing\, who recently relocated from Corvallis to Oro Valley\, Ariz.\, shares his fascination with the unexpected color and beauty of cacti in the Sonoran Desert around his new home. “I’ve tried to make images that are expressive and evocative through closeup attention to detail and revealing perspective\,” explains Laing. “The trick is to slow down and see these plants for what they are—exquisite designs by nature\, perfectly adapted to their harsh surroundings.” \n•Paul Barden\, who lives on a small farm outside Corvallis\, is a multi-talented photographer who enjoys learning a variety of photographic processes. For this show Barden exhibits a selection of elegant\, often brooding\, still lifes made with his 5×7- and 8×10-inch wet-plate cameras\, a technically demanding process that dates to the 19th century. After reading “The Secret Life of Plants” as a teenager\, Barden says he came to think of our planet’s botanical inhabitants as being on par with our own lives: “complex\, aware\, and exquisitely responsive to their environments. From that moment on\, I saw plant life differently\, and my work has long celebrated these Children of The Soil.” \n

SUMMARY:Angel O'Brien\, The Distance of Forgetting
DESCRIPTION:Angel O’Brien\, The Distance of Forgetting \nOctober 1–31\, 2020 \nArtist Talk: Wednesday\, October 14\, 5:00 PM \nBlue Sky is open Wednesday—Saturday from 12PM – 5PM with priority given to visitors who make an appointment online.  Visits are limited to one hour. Reserve your appointment now at blueskygallery.org/appointments \nRegister: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/blue-sky-artist-talk-angel-obrien-tickets-121442498783\nBlue Sky exhibitions and programs are free and open to the public \nIn her series\, The Distance of Forgetting\, photographer Angel O’Brien uses self-portraiture to look inward while exploring her place in the world around her. The images in the series are the result of intuitive processes\, and O’Brien’s unconventional poses and surreal manipulation of her body visualize the complex\, layered nature of identity while also disrupting conventional expectations of femininity. Similarly\, the artist pushes photography into experimental territory\, often using multiple alternative analog and digital photographic processes and incorporating graphite\, colored pencil\, and ink into her handmade prints. \nAs O’Brien explains\, “I’m giving the viewer not simply a picture\, but instead a moment in time that may explore melancholy\, censorship\, sight/insight/blindness\, daydreaming or simply existing in the world as a woman\, mother\, lover\, or friend. Though I use myself in my work\, and certainly my experiences influence what I create\, I don’t really see it necessarily as self-portraiture. These works are not meant to solely tell my story\, but rather are inspired by the experiences of being a woman in the world today.” \nAngel O’Brien is a writer and artist based in Portland and San Francisco. Her photography has been exhibited in the United States and in Europe\, most recently at Lightbox Photographic Gallery in Astoria and the Albatross Gallery in Gold Hill\, Oregon. The Distance of Forgetting was selected for the Critical Mass Top 200 in 2019.

SUMMARY:David Simone at Dot Dotsons (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:David Simone\, Cuba — An Outsider’s View of Place and People\nPresented by the PhotoZone Gallery \nOctober 9 to November 12\nOpening is October 9th from 5 to 6pm; Artist Talk on Zoom October 11 @ 1:00\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82360060200 \nDot Dotsons\n1668 Willamette Street Eugene\, OR\n541-485-1771\n12-5 Monday – Thursday; Closed Friday-Sunday\nhttp://dotdotsons.com/\nFree to the public \nMy wife Karen and I were very fortunate to travel to Cuba in January of 2020. Little did anyone know that in three months\, travel there would be restricted and ill-advised. \nCuba had long been near the top of my travel list because of the Cubans’ scrapping yet friendly reputation and for the visual interest of the aging colonial architecture. I am interested in learning from the Cubans about their government and the condition of their lives. Fortunately\, Karen speaks Spanish or we would be left like so many tourists\, unable to communicate and really understand what is going on. Many Cubans do know at least small amounts of many languages. Cuba is truly an international travel destination. We meet travelers from all over the world and when almost out of luck in the boonies\, hitched a ride with a Russian family on a horse drawn taxi. Now travel has all but dried up and like so many people around the globe\, the Cuban’s fiscal health is threatened. \nFor this show\, I choose to focus on my images taken roaming the streets of Havana and the provincial capitals of Cuba. As an architectural photographer\, I am drawn to the colonial relics and unique facades of a country that has been scrapping for it’s existence for decades. I often got up before dawn to photograph and we would explore in the evenings photographing and enjoying the people and music. My thanks to Karen for her patience while I stopped yet again to photograph. \nI have been working on improving my photographic imagery for over 50 years. After studying photography in high school and at a community college in California\, I received a BFA from the U of O in visual design and photography. While continuing a fine art practice\, I opened Lightworks Photography doing commercial and architectural photography as well as portraiture. I stopped doing commercial work four years ago and am now working on creating photographic imagery that portrays our amazing world. \nArtist Talk on Zoom October 11 @ 1:00\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82360060200 \n  \nPresented by the PhotoZone Gallery\, a collection of diverse individuals interested in the art and craft of photography. A wide variety of skills are valued which range from masters of silver print\, platinum/Palladium\, gum bichromate\, etc.\, to enthusiasts of digital production. Many kinds of work are welcome\, including hand-colored\, airbrush\, 3-D\, collage\, HDR\, portraiture\, street photography\, nature photography\, abstract expression\, mixed media\, and the list goes on. \nPhotography At Oregon\nsupports the area’s photography teaching\nprograms. It has done so for more than 50 years\npromoting the fine art of photography\, sponsoring\nexhibits\, lectures\, classes\, and workshops\, inviting\nphotographers of national and international reputation\,\nand showing works of historical importance. \nPhotography At Oregon\nPO Box 50874\nEugene OR 97405\nwww.photographyatoregon.org/\n541-686-1240\nPhotographyatoregon@comcast.net

SUMMARY:Diana Nicholette Jeon\, Nights as Inexorable as the Sea
DESCRIPTION:Diana Nicholette Jeon\, Nights as Inexorable as the Sea \nOctober 1–31\, 2020 \nArtist Talk (via Zoom): Wednesday\, October 7\, 5:00 PM \nBlue Sky is open Wednesday—Saturday from 12PM – 5PM with priority given to visitors who make an appointment online.  Visits are limited to one hour. Reserve your appointment now at blueskygallery.org/appointments \nRegister: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/blue-sky-artist-talk-diana-nicholette-jeon-tickets-121436781683\nBlue Sky exhibitions and programs are free and open to the public \n“I’ve always been amazed when friends recount intricate details and entire storylines of their dreams while mine remain in shards—minute fragments of what was. Was it really a dream\, or was it a previously forgotten memory seeping through to my conscious mind?” \nDiana Nicholette Jeon’s Nights as Inexorable as the Sea is a series of black-and-white diptychs that reproduce the strange and unpredictable nature of dreams and memory. The artist’s uncanny yet poetic pairings of images reveal the inconsistencies of the subconscious\, while their presentation in small\, open-faced tins simulates the desire to hold onto these ephemeral memories\, as if storing treasured snapshots and other keepsakes for posterity. \nDiana Nicholette Jeon is an award-winning contemporary artist who lives and works in Honolulu\, Hawaii. She holds an MFA from University of Maryland Baltimore County and her work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally. Jeon’s art has received four Hawaii SFCA Purchase Awards\, the International Photo Award\, 11th Julia Margaret Cameron Award\, Pollux Award\, and the Mobile Photo Award\, among others\, and has been featured in Gente di Fotografia\, SHOTS Magazine\, Pf Magazine\, the Art Photo Index\, and LensCulture.

SUMMARY:Kiliii Yuyan at Blue Sky Gallery (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Kiliii Yuyan\, Rumors of Arctic Belonging \nSeptember 3–27\, 2020* \nhttps://www.instagram.com/blueskygallerypdx/ \n*Starting on August 15th\, Blue Sky will be open Wednesday—Saturday from 12PM – 5PM with priority given to visitors who make an appointment online.  Visits are limited to one hour. Reserve your appointment now at blueskygallery.org/appointments \nIn his exhibition\, Rumors of Arctic Belonging\, Kiliii Yuyan will present a selection of his photographs taken throughout the Arctic\, where the climate and the landscape are radically changing and those who call the region home continue to adapt. A Native Siberian\, Yuyan reflects upon his role as both insider and outsider as he documents current traditions while looking towards the Arctic’s future. He writes\, “A future North awaits– not cold and unchanging\, but living\, dying and being reborn. Everyday memories of the Arctic will pass forward as they always have\, kept by its Indigenous peoples and hidden in plain sight.” \nKiliii Yuyan is a photographer based out of Seattle\, but he can be found across the circumpolar Arctic much of the year. Informed by ancestry that is both Nanai/Hèzhé (Siberian Native) and Chinese-American\, he explores the human relationship to the natural world from different cultural perspectives. Yuyan is a 2020 NiaTero Storytelling fellow\, Pulitzer Center grantee\, and one of PDN’s 30 Emerging Photographers (2019)\, as well as an award-winning contributor to National Geographic Magazine and other major publications. Yuyan’s public talks inspire others about photography\, Indigenous perspectives and wilderness around the globe. He also builds traditional kayaks and contributes to the revitalization of northern Indigenous culture. \n

DESCRIPTION:PCPDX & ‘Picture\, Picture’ Present: Zeb Andrews\nThe Photographs: Holgaramas\n‘The Photographer Behind the Photos’ a Virtual Event \nSaturday\, September 12th\, 2020\n6:00 – 8:00 PM\n$10 contribution (also gets you a raffle ticket for the evenings GC’s)\nRSVP HERE: http://evite.me/HWVED8F8VF\nhttps://www.photoclubpdx.com/events/sept-2020-picture-picture-zeb-andrews \nZeb Andrews has lived his entire life in the Pacific Northwest\, wandering its trails and photographing every opportunity he gets. His day job is at Blue Moon Camera and Machine\, a pretty awesome camera shop if he does say so himself. Working at a camera store has led him down many adventurous paths in his photography and inspired him to try many different cameras and films over the years. While his work is as varied as his curiosity\, he has carried around a Holga for over a decade and found numerous ways to put that simple plastic camera to good use. One series of images he has created with this camera he calls Holgaramas\, and they involve using multiple shots across an entire (or more than an entire) roll of film\, piecing the individual frames together like a puzzle to create images in ways he cannot do with single frames. Having added to this collection over several years\, he has had time to refine both his technique in making them as well as his thoughts regarding his motivations behind these Holgaramas and what they have taught him about the process of photography. \nMeetings and Raffles\nMonthly Meeting Contributions are a minimum of $10 for non-members & visitors. Everyone who contributes a minimum of $10 for the meeting gets a ticket. Member’s get 1 Free ticket. Beyond that everyone can buy additional tickets for $1/ticket.

All the photographs will be 11×14 fiber-based darkroom prints hanging from wires strung between trees\, also possibly hanging from wires on the top of fencing that borders the park.

SUMMARY:Sarah Graves "The Unknown" online now
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Graves\, The Unknown \nExhibition at: www.gravesstudios.com \nThe Unknown is a curation of images made by Portland photographer Sarah Graves. Sarah values analog methods of art making and uses film to make her photographs. Analog photography slows down the creative process and allows for reflection while making the images. This collection of images entices the viewer to ask questions\, luring them to make their own interpretation of what they are seeing. The photographs invite your imagination to create its own story about each scene. Some of the images are subtly haunting\, others are dreamy\, quiet landscapes that provoke feelings of uncertainty or the uncanny. Drawing on themes of anxiety and uncertainty of the future\, these photographs offer comfort by the commonality of unease we feel during these times. \nThe images will be no longer be exhibited in the gallery and no formal opening reception will be held due to COVID-19. A virtual reception will be held for the length of the show at www.gravesstudios.com. \nwww.gravesstudios.com \n

DESCRIPTION:Ghost Town Portraits Photography Workshop with Fritz Liedtke \nJune 19-21\, 2020 \nPJ Ranch\n23350 Winlock Road\nFossil\, OR 97830 \nwww.fritzliedtke.com/ghost-town-portraits-workshop-oregon/\nReserve now to take advantage of Early Bird Pricing\, until March 14.\n$785 \nWhat could be better than the tumbledown texture of a ghost town\, and the beauty of dancers and models\, combined to create beautiful\, moody portraits? In this special workshop\, photographer Fritz Liedtke is combining two of his favorite things–historic places and beautiful faces–to teach you how to create stunning portraiture. \nJoin us for 3 days in the John Day River Territory\, in north central Oregon. We’ll gather at PJ Ranch\, where Fritz will share from his 30 years of experience photographing people. You’ll learn about professional lighting (natural light and off-camera flash)\, building rapport with subjects\, posing\, strong composition\, good clothing choices\, camera and lens options\, and much more. We’ll spend time at ghost towns hidden in the local area where Fritz will give demonstration shoots\, and then you’ll have hours to photograph with models and dancers\, with his oversight and input. Fritz takes a hands-on approach to learning by introducing you to a concept and then letting you apply it immediately\, with his feedback. It’s the best way to learn. \nBut the workshop doesn’t end there. In the weeks following the workshop\, you have the option to sign up for an additional 1-on-1 consultation\, looking over your final work and giving you further insight for improvement. We want you to end up with photographic confidence\, professional insight\, real-life experience\, and photographs you are proud of. \nIf you’d like to try out some new photo gear\, our sponsor ProPhoto Supply will give you a significant discount off a rental item for the weekend\, and our sponsor Lensbaby will have their amazing lenses on hand for you to create with during the workshop! \nThe Ghost Town Portrait Workshop is an all-inclusive 3-day experience. You’ll be provided with hors d’oeuvres and meals\, lodging at the local inn (single or double occupancy)\, models and dancers to photograph\, and all of Fritz’s attention. It’s an experience you don’t want to miss.

SUMMARY:John DuBois at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:John DuBois\, Island Of Hope\, Island Of Tears \nMarch 28th – April 24\, 2020 \nNOTE: THE ARTIST TALK AND RECEPTION IS BEING POSTPONED UNTIL THE CORONAVIRUS IS UNDER CONTROL; THESE EVENTS WILL BE RESCHEDULED AFTER THE DANGER HAS PASSED. BE SAFE AND STAY WELL. HOWEVER\, WE INVITE YOU TO VISIT THE GALLERY AND ENJOY OUR EXHIBITS DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS: MONDAY-SATURDAY\, 9AM-6PM; SUNDAY\, 10AM-4PM. \nCamerawork Gallery\n301 N. Graham Street\, Portland\, OR 97227\nLocated in Lorenzen Conference Center – Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Campus.\n9am – 6pm\, Monday-Saturday\, Sunday\, 10am-4pm\nFree off street parking available\, Stair and elevator access\, TriMet Routes 4\, 24 and 44\, ADA accessible\nwww.TheCameraworkGallery.org\nwww.Facebook.com/cameraworkgallery\n503-701-5347\nEvent is free and open to the public \nFrom 1892 to 1954 Ellis Island in New York Harbor was a gateway for millions of immigrants to America. Washington State photographer John DuBois’s mother was among them. This project began as a journey of family history but evolved into an exploration of place\, of who came and\, of the spirit of what remains. It was a multi-year project which developed into a project within a project. The images in this series are constructed from historical images and the present\, physical state of the hospital buildings on Ellis Island. Arriving immigrants with medical needs were treated here and this history combined with the island’s close proximity to the Statue of Library invite questions of who we are and how we came to be here. \nDuBois notes\, “We all came from somewhere; feelings of place and history are deeply rooted in family and society. I knew at a fairly young age that I was ‘half’ Italian. This came from my mother’s side who arrived among the many Southern European immigrants to the United States. I only came to appreciate the meaning of this heritage much later in life. When an initial opportunity to photograph restricted areas of the hospital complex on Ellis Island presented itself\, it was the draw of this family connection that drew me here as a place. After many more visits it grew to an understanding of who was here and for me a connection to where I came from.” Selected works from this series have appeared in several group shows\, received Paris Photo Prize recognition\, exhibited in Blue Sky Gallery’s Viewing Drawers (2017) and published in Lenswork’s Sixes\, 2017. Works are also held in private collections. The images are constructs framing past\, historical images with the present state of Ellis Island and invites questions of self\, history and our humanity. \nJohn DuBois lives in Issaquah\, WA (near Seattle) with his wife and two energetic Golden Doodle siblings. DuBois arrived in the Pacific Northwest by way of the East Coast and Wisconsin\, growing up on the Jersey Shore\, earning a B.A. in Economics at The George Washington University and then graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He was introduced to photography early through the family’s Polaroid (the peel-apart film type) camera which instilled early on an interest in photographic arts that included a full slate of photography classes while in college and leading to an enduring\, life-long interest in photography as a means of connections and communication.

SUMMARY:Ansel Adams at Studio385
DESCRIPTION:Photography At Oregon\, Last Friday Movie Night\nFilm: Ansel Adams Photographer\nHosted by Stu Levy\, displaying some of Ansel Adam’s original work \nMarch 27\, 2020 6:30 to 8:00pm \nStudio 385\n385 West 2nd at Lawrence Street\nEugene\, Oregon\n(541) 521-9747\njon@studiomeyers.com\nFree-will donation \nHosted by Stu Levy accompanied by several of his own collection of original Adam’s works. This portrait of Ansel Adams\, one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century\, captures the spirit and artistry of the man as he talks about his life and demonstrates the techniques which have made his work legendary. \nJim Wojno on April 20\, 2018 Writes:\n“This is a wonderful tribute to Ansel Adams. There is\, thankfully\, almost no commentary from an interviewer — just 60 minutes of pure Ansel reminiscing about his work\, friends\, and life. There is an expecially touching and humorous scene with Adams and Georgia O’Keeve — their banter is priceless as you look inside their personal history as if no one else was present — two monumental artists of the 20th cenury yucking it up. I don’t think this video was intended to be a comprehensive study of Adam’s life and works — the PBS 2-part series does that very well. This video\, however\, provides some genuine intimacy\, perhaps as much as we outsiders will ever get. Some may complain this video lacks technical information or reasons why he took a particular image\, but Adams preferred to express his feelings visually\, where words would simply degrade or cloud a viewer’s feelings. The video\, btw\, is artfully and tastefully filmed and scored. \nJim Wojno was the Graphic Designer Art Director with Corning Life Sciences for 28 years and is a successful Landscape Photographer.85 \n

SUMMARY:Ann Sugiyama-Gardner at The O’Brien Photo Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Ann Sugiyama-Gardner\, “Family of Origin” and “Imperfect Beauty” \nThe show will run from March 17 through May 7\, 2020\nThere will be an artist reception Saturday\, March 21 from 4-6pm. \nThe O’Brien Photo Gallery\n2833 Willamette\, Ste. B\nEugene\, OR 97405\n(541) 729-3572\nOpen Tue – Fri from 1-6 pm\nCall to be sure we’re open or to set a special viewing time.\nemail:  picmac1945@gmail.com\nweb: https://www.waltobrien.net/the-o-brien-photo-gallery \nPortland artist and photographer\, Ann Sugiyama-Gardner of Mori Hana Studio\, will be presenting 2 series of current works\, “Family of Origin” and “Imperfect Beauty”. \nIn her series “Family of Origin” Ann reflects on her experiences as a third generation Japanese-American and what happened to Japanese immigrants during the 1940’s. Through that lens\, she calls attention to the Latino and Muslim immigrants’ struggles today. \nMany immigrants start with nothing but honest\, hard work\, to gain a foothold on the ladder of success in America. For her family\, December 7\, 1941 was the extinction of that day-to-day struggle. Mass incarceration soon followed without due process of the laws of the United States. “What damage was caused to individuals and what are the lasting effects on the family by imprisonment? On me and my family.” \nThis question lead to a road trip to Poston\, Arizona and Manzanar\, California\, two of the ten “camps” hastily built to incarcerate over 125\,000 Japanese/Americans from 1942-1946. The artist’s mother’s family was sent to Poston\, Arizona for incarceration. Her grandfather died in prison for\, at this time\, unknown reasons. \nOn the flip-side\, Ann will present a second series of prints that celebrate color\, texture\, and light inspired by the practice of Buddhist Mindfulness and the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi Sabi. \nShe was moved to the practice of Contemplative Photography first by studying Edward Weston’s work then reading Michael Wood’s book specifically about the subject. “Imperfect Beauty” is the ongoing photography project that responds to the act of being present. “Intuitively working this way\, my mind is open to whatever images present themselves and quiet my critique brain.” \nanngardnerartpdx@gmail.com\nhttps://www.annkgardner.com \n

SUMMARY:Becky Wilkes at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Becky Wilkes\, DITCHED  \nFebruary 29 – March 27\, 2020\nArtist Talk Saturday\, March 21 from 4pm-5pm\, followed by a Reception from 5pm-6pm \nCamerawork Gallery\n301 N. Graham Street\, Portland\, OR 97227\nLocated in Lorenzen Conference Center – Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Campus.\n9am – 6pm\, Monday-Saturday\, Sunday\, 10am-4pm\nFree off street parking available\, Stair and elevator access\, TriMet Routes 4\, 24 and 44\, ADA accessible\nwww.TheCameraworkGallery.org\nwww.Facebook.com/cameraworkgallery\n503-701-5347\nEvent is free and open to the public \nOn February 29\, Camerawork Gallery will open “Ditched”\, from Texas photographer and trash enthusiast\, Becky Wilkes. The exhibit will be on view through March 27 and contains 10 of her original obsessions\, gleaned from the nearly 6\,000 pieces of trash collected by Wilkes during her 1 year “odd-yssey”\, when she combed 1 mile of newly revealed lakefront for trash during the multiyear drought of 2014-15. \nIt was not until spring floods of 2015 that Wilkes understood the migratory nature of trash in our waterways flowing from our drainage ditches and roadways. Eagle Mountain Lake\, while only 14 square miles in size\, is fed by a watershed of over 850 square miles. Unlike the trash entering our oceans\, this debris is trapped inland in our fresh water supply\, restrained by lakes and dams. \nWilkes notes\, “When I started this project\, I had no idea of the depth and breadth of the materials that lay just below the surface of the water. I was continually amazed by the debris that I found. Plastic straws are not our only issue. We are regularly flushing the entirety of our roadside debris into our drinking water.” Wilkes shares. This one-of-a-kind series portrays a vivid\, colorful and quantitative statement of the impact of local litter discarded throughout local watersheds.” \n“Ditched” was most recently featured at LHUCA\, in Lubbock TX where Hannah Dean\, founder of The Bowerbird and writer for Glasstire states\, “Removed from their half-buried\nlakefront sites\, water bottles with the all the charm of used condoms suddenly become aesthetic\, once they’re scanned\, grouped\, printed and mounted on Dibond. Weird.” \nBecky Wilkes lives with her husband on Eagle Mountain Lake in Azle\, TX. Educated as a Chemical Engineer at Texas A&M\, she spent much of her life as a stay-at-home mother of four children who have now blessed her with a multitude of grandchildren. Thus began her study of chaos and order. Her current vocation is a blend of urban archeologist\, anthropologist\, sociologist\, trash collector and photographer. \n

SUMMARY:Friderike Heuer at Stevens-Crawford Heritage House Museum
DESCRIPTION:Friderike Heuer\, Tied to the Moon \nMarch – June 2020\nArtist Reception on March 21st – 11:00 am – 1:00 pm \nStevens-Crawford Heritage House Museum\n603 6th St\, Oregon City\nOpen: Friday – Saturday\, 11:00am – 4:00pm\nAdmission: $5\nhttp://clackamashistory.org \nThis 2019 photomontage series by Friderike Heuer describes some of the common experiences of women across centuries. Just like our physiologies are tied to the phases of the moon so are we tied through shared life events and states connected to our lives. A lot has changed for women; not enough has changed for women. Giving birth\, raising children\, aging\, being loved or abandoned\, being controlled or forging our own path has always been basic to the female experience. Finding solace among sisters or competing for scraps as rivals was often part of our existence. Curiosity\, skepticism\, learning and rebelling had to be fought for. Longing\, dreaming and hope were part of the way.
