SUMMARY:Dan Nelken at Emerald Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:Dan Nelken\, HeadStrong: The Women of Rural Uganda \nFebruary 3d to February 27th\nReception: February 12 from 5 to 7 pm\nArtist Talk: February 14th 1:00pm\n(ZOOM https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82419478400) \nEmerald Arts Center\n500 Main Street  Springfield\, Oregon\n541-726-8595\n11am to 4 pm Wednesday thru Saturday; Second Fridays 5 to 7 pm\nhttps://www.emeraldartcenter.org/ \nOpen to the public\nMASK ARE REQUIRED \nHeadStrong: The Women of Rural Uganda\nDan Nelken photographer\nBeatrice Lamwaka story translator \nHeadStrong is an ongoing photographic and storytelling project focusing on working women in rural Uganda. These women are at a critical crossroads in their agrarian society. Emerging from a history of war and economic uncertainty\, women are the tipping point of a future with more possibilities for their gender and offspring. As their accompanying stories reveal\, many are hampered by lack of education and opportunities for themselves and their children. Yet\, most have hope. \nDuring four trips to Uganda as a volunteer\, I interacted with many women in rural areas. Impressed by the women’s work ethic\, poise\, sense of humor\, and resilience\, I initially embarked on this project for esthetic reasons: a desire to showcase their personas in Uganda’s natural light. As this project progressed\, I realized that a broader community should hear their stories. \nBecause Uganda has one of the world’s fastest-growing and youngest populations (15.9 years median age)\, women’s roles are critical to ensuring economic\, intellectual\, and societal success in the future. Childrearing and domestic tasks are almost entirely the responsibility of women; in rural communities\, women are often the family’s primary wage earners. These facts directly impact the lives of women. \nAs a life-long professional portrait photographer\, I chose to combine the power of portraiture with the women’s own stories to portray their individuality and endurance. Aware of my outsider status and insufficient knowledge of Ugandan society\, I partnered with Beatrice Lamwaka\, an award-winning Ugandan author\, who brings an essential East African female viewpoint to this project. Lamwaka interviewed the women and then wrote a biographical narrative\, which includes aspirations\, to accompany her portrait. These texts are an integral part of HeadStrong. \nEach woman expressed herself through personal choices of work clothing and accessories. Their direct gaze powerfully conveys their sense of self and ownership in presenting themselves to the viewer. I chose mosquito netting to physically separate the women from their chaotic surroundings while alluding to the region’s paucity of medical care. \nThe titles include documentary details that provide context for the portraits. \nDan Nelken was born in Tel Aviv and immigrated to the United States with his family\, becoming a citizen and residing in Chicago. He departed for New York and received his undergraduate degree from Pratt Institute.\nBy the time he was 11-years-old\, Nelken had lived in four countries with three different languages. As a result\, he developed an innate understanding of being “the other\,” struggling to adapt to new circumstances. As a documentary photographer\, he is known for his portrait work of those outside society’s mainstream. His portraits aspire to accentuate individuality while acknowledging the importance of group behaviors\, habits\, and rituals. His ongoing project\, HeadStrong: The Women of Rural Uganda\, exemplifies his commitment to this theme. The portraits focus on the contribution of women in a predominately patriarchal society. \nNelken has received many awards and recognition for his HeadStrong project and earlier for Till The Cows Come Home: County Fair Portraits. His work has been published and exhibited widely and is in both public and private collections. \nDan owned and operated a photographic studio where he produced advertising and promotional images for design firms\, ad agencies\, publishers\, and corporations. This work helped support his multi-year personal projects.

SUMMARY:Edward Pabor at PhotoZone Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Edward Pabor\, Patagonia and Antarctica\nPhotoZone Gallery\, Featured Artist \nFebruary 4th to March 2nd\nReception:  February 5th from 5:00pm to 8:00pm \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\nMASKS ARE REQUIRED \nI have been an adventurer all my life. Even as a young child I would want to walk in the woods\, or down a winding road. For the last 50 years I have done that with a camera. I have always been intrigued with photography. I used to climb trees with my Kodak instamatic and take pictures of robins’ nests. And then came my Polaroid Swinger camera. But the real magic happened when I first saw the alchemy in the dark room; when the image started to appear in the Dektol pan. The simplicity of a black and white print is still sublime. I am one of the luckiest men the world. I am not rich with money\, but I am rich with love\, friends and worldly adventures. These photos of Patagonia and Antarctica were taken on one of the great adventures of my life. Antarctica is the 7th continent I have been too\, and it was a dream come true for me. How many guys can say they drank with Russians at a Russian research station in Antarctica? \nMy philosophy on photography is simple. You have to work to get good photos. They don’t just come to you. You have to plan on walking in the dark to be some place at dawn. You have to wait for snow and walk by yourself through the cold; your foot prints being the only footprints out there. After that\, it is all about composition and exposure. Both come with time. This Patagonia-Antarctica show is the best black and white show I have done. And just as when photography was first invented\, the real art form of photography is the black and white print. This show represents one month of work in December of 2019. As Einstein said “work is what gives substance to life”. I am a lucky man.

Never has it felt more important to share photographs and stories of people who have come to this country for the opportunity to make a better life for themselves and their families and who have given so much to our country and communities. \nWith the increasing hate speech we are experiencing\, often against immigrants\, and which dehumanizes entire groups of people\, we are grateful to get to share these stories as an antidote. When we allow ourselves to stop and really see each other\, to be willing to hear someone’s story\, to see our common humanity\, we understand we are not so different. It opens the door to mutual understanding and empathy. \nWe must find a way to first\, always see the humanity in each other. It is the only way we will start to heal the deep wounds and divisions in this country. \nAll of the 37 selected prints can be seen now at Blue Sky Gallery in Portland\, Oregon. Some images will be up on the community wall through February 27th\, and all of the images will be available in the gallery’s community viewing drawings through December 2021. Blue Sky Gallery visits are by appointment only right now\, please check here for availability\, calendly.com/blueskyappointments/visit. We will also be sharing all of the images on our IG account\, Our Diversity is Our Strength. \nFor more information about Our Diversity is Our Strength: \nhttps://www.blueskygallery.org/news/2021/1/11/diversity-is-our-strength\nand \nOur Diversity is Our Strength – gallery exhibit and virtual slideshow  telling immigrant stories from our communities \n \n

SUMMARY:Rich Bergeman\, More Than Meets the Eye at Chessman Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Rich Bergeman\, More Than Meets the Eye \nJanuary 8 to February 21\, 2021 \nChessman Gallery\nLincoln City Cultural Center\n540 NE Hwy 101\nLincoln City\, Oregon\n541-994-9994\nwww.lincolncityculturalcenter.org\nOpen Thursday through Sunday 10am to 4pm\nMask Required \nClick here for the virtual tour \nCorvallis photographer Rich Bergeman will be exhibiting 30 black-and-white infrared seascapes at the LCCC Chessman Gallery through Feb. 21 in Lincoln City. \nThe images were made over the past four years at more than a dozen locations along the Northwest Coast\, from Long Beach\, Wash.\, to Pistol River\, Ore. Many were made during the extreme low tides of the spring and early summer\, when the exposed beaches\, headlands and rocky shelves reveal plants and sea life that normally lie hidden beneath the waves. Although these landscapes are teeming with life\, from mussels and barnacles to seaweeds and sea grasses\, they are relatively colorless\, dominated by dull browns and dark greens. Using infrared digital cameras\, Bergeman reverses the tones\, transforming the landscapes into hauntingly beautiful\, often other-worldly\, scenes. \nA retired instructor from Linn-Benton Community College in Albany\, Bergeman has been exhibiting his photography throughout the Northwest since the late 1980s. Originally a large-format black-and-white photographer and platinum printer\, he has been working exclusively with infrared for the past five years. One of his recent IR photographs of Mt. McLoughlin\, part of his Rogue River Wars project\, was accepted into the permanent collection at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art in Salem earlier this month.

SUMMARY:Jasmine Swisher "Falling Sky" virtual opening
DESCRIPTION:Jasmine Swisher\, Falling Sky \nJanuary 2021 \nVirtual Opening \nThis series of photographs were taken at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. With the uncertainty of the world\, collectively\, the flood of emotions felt globally ranged from helplessness to thankfulness. These images were my way of sorting out these emotions and trying to focus on the positive aspects of what felt like our world falling apart. Horses have a connection to the wilderness that they are able to share with us. Spending time putting Falling Sky together was a way for me to put aside my worries and focus on trying to illustrate the indescribable connection that horses have with nature that touches our hearts. \njasmineswisher.jimdo.com

DESCRIPTION:Women of the African Diaspora: Identity\, Place\, Migration\, Immigration\ncurated by Aaron Turner\, featuring photography by\nWidline Cadet\, Jasmine Clarke\, and Nadiya I. Nacorda \nDecember 3\, 2020–January 30\, 2021* \nWomen of the African Diaspora Panel Discussion\nWednesday\, January 6\, 3:00 PM PST via Zoom (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.

Stay tuned and please\, please stay safe! \nBlue Sky is pleased to present Women of the African Diaspora: Identity\, Place\, Migration\, and Immigration\, an exhibition curated by Aaron Turner and featuring photographic work by Widline Cadet\, Jasmine Clarke\, and Nadiya I. Nacorda. Through photography\, these three artists reflect upon their experiences navigating contemporary life in the United States and beyond as women of the African Diaspora\, while also contributing to the larger conversation surrounding inclusion and exclusion within the visual narrative of art history. \nAbout the artists and curator: \nWidline Cadet is a Haitian-born artist. Her practice draws from personal history and examines race\, memory\, erasure\, migration\, immigration\, and Haitian cultural identity from within the United States. She uses photography\, video\, and installations to construct a visual language that explores notions of visibility and hyper-visibility\, black feminine interiority\, and selfhood. Cadet is a recipient of a 2013 Mortimer-Hays Brandeis Traveling Fellowship\, a 2018 Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture artist-in-residence\, a 2019 Lighthouse Works fellow\, a 2019 Syracuse University VPA Turner artist-in-residence\, a 2020 Lit List finalist\, the 2020 Museum of Contemporary Photography’s Snider Prize winner\, and a recipient of a 2020 NYFA / JGS Fellowship in photography. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker\, TIME\, and Wallpaper*\, among others. Cadet earned a BA in studio art from The City College of New York and an MFA from Syracuse University. She is currently based in New York City as a 2020-21 artist-in-residence at The Studio Museum in Harlem. \nJasmine Clarke is a photographer from Brooklyn\, New York. Inspired by the historical links between nature and mysticism\, her images focus on the surreal qualities of our waking world. She is interested in dreams and magical realism\, and likes to play with the tension between fiction and reality to create ethereal and alluring images. She graduated from Bard College in 2018 with a BA in photography. Clarke’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally\, and she was recently selected for the 2020 Lit List and was a 2020 Critical Mass Top 200 finalist. \nNadiya Imani Loyisa Ntlabati Nacorda is a Blasian artist\, photographer and Taurus currently living and working in Syracuse\, New York. She was born in Detroit\, Michigan to a Filipinx immigrant father and a Xhosa mother. Throughout the year\, she travels around the country photographing her immediate family. Her work focuses on notions of intimacy\, affection\, displacement\, secrecy\, and generational trauma within the context of Black and POC immigrant-American family life. Nacorda received her BFA in Photography & Film from VCU Arts in Richmond\, Virginia. She is currently pursuing an MFA in Art Photography at Syracuse University’s School of Visual and Performing Arts. Her work has been exhibited at the Midwest Center for Photography\, the Detroit Public Library art gallery\, RISD’s Red Eye Gallery in Providence\, Rhode Island\, and Candela Books + Gallery in Richmond\, Virginia. She is also a 2019 finalist of the Magenta Foundation’s Flash Forward competition and was selected for the 2020 Lit List. \nAaron Turner (b.1990) is a photographer and educator currently based in Arkansas. Aaron also uses the view camera to create still life studies on the topics of race\, history\, blackness as material\, and the role of the black artist. Aaron founded a curatorial project titled Photographers of Color in 2014 to aggregate the historical and contemporary work made by artists of color working in lens-based media. Aaron is currently developing the beginning stages of the Center for Photographers of Color within the School of Art at the University of Arkansas in the form of a Research Fellowship appointment with teaching duties. His awards include 2018 Light Work Artist-in-Residence\, 2019 En Foco Photography Fellow\, and 2020 Visual Studies Workshop Project Space artist-in-residence. He is also the host of The Photographers of Color Podcast.

SUMMARY:Greg Giesy featured artist at PhotoZone Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Greg Giesy\, Moments In Nature\nFeatured Artist Exhibit\, PhotoZone Gallery \nDecember 3 to 29\, 2020 \nPhotoZone Gallery\n22 West 7th Ave.\nEugene\, Oregon\n541-683-0759\n12:00 to 6:00 pm Tuesday through Sunday\nphotozonegalleryoregon@gmail.com\nhttps://www.photozonegallery.com/\nOpen to the public (Wear a mask) \nPhotography allows me to lose my thoughts of everything else and try to capture the moment.\nI do this with cameras and lenses that let me capture that moment in all its fine points at a distance that does not make me the instigator of that moment. \nMany of my photographs are of birds\, insects\, and other animals. If you spend any time watching wildlife you will notice that their lives move at a much faster pace than ours. That pace requires me to try to work in their reality by hand holding my camera to move with them to recount the precise moment that is the best photo.\nThe accuracy of that best photo demands that I am not the initiator of how my subject is reacting to its environment this requires distance. Telephoto lenses allow that distance\, the larger the millimeter the more I am away from my subject. Improvements in my skills and in technology have permitted me to go from a 200mm lens to a 400mm lens to a 600mm lens to an 800mm lens to a 1000mm lens and finally to a 1600mm lens all handheld. (For those who are photographers the last two lenses are a 500mm and an 800mm with a 2x Extender.)\nThe best photo of my subject also requires detail I use a 45- megapixels and 50-megapixels camera for extreme fine detail and the ability to use the part of the picture that I want and to print mostly to 13”x19”.\nMy hope is the moments in nature that are my photographs depict accuracy and clarity for the viewer. \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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

SUMMARY:PCPDX & 'Picture\, Picture' Present: Zeb Andrews 'The Photographer Behind the Photos' a Virtual Event
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
