SUMMARY:Transcendent Portraiture photography workshop with Fritz Liedtke
DESCRIPTION:Transcendent Portraiture photography workshop with Fritz Liedtke \nApril 5-22\, 2022\nTuesdays and Thursdays 11:30-1:30\nOnline Photography Workshop\n$595.00\nhttps://santafeworkshops.com/product/transcendent-portraiture/ \nPortland photographer and artist Fritz Liedtke will be leading Transcendent Portraits\, a photography workshop hosted by Santa Fe Workshops in April. \nGreat portraiture is about more than the right lens and the right lighting. It’s about having a vision and connecting with your subject to make images that transcend the simple headshot. In this workshop you will fine-tune your vision and technique to approach portraiture like an artist\, and create gorgeous\, surprising\, beautiful\, atmospheric images. \nFine-art and commercial photographer Fritz Liedtke leads you first through the “why” of portraiture and then through the “how to” as we explore—and learn from—the work of master artists. In addition to learning how to develop an authentic rapport with your subjects\, you discover ways of posing and lighting them to look their best. \nThrough live instructor demonstrations and discussions\, we will cover multiple methods for finding people to photograph\, directing and posing our subjects\, working with natural light (and modifying it to your advantage)\, working with artificial lighting\, and combining the two. Demonstrations also include post-processing of images to create the final look you originally envisioned. In this way\, you understand the complete process of creating gorgeous portraits\, from start to finish. \nLocal participants may be able to attend the live photo shoot demonstrations in person. \nWeekly assignments help you gain fluidity and confidence in your work\, and by experimenting with portraiture post-processing\, you accentuate the mood\, feel\, and style that best expresses your vision. You finish the workshop with new experience and insights—not to mention stunning images you can be proud of. \nThis online class runs April 5-22\, 2022\, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30-1:30. \nSee more of Fritz’s fine art and commercial photography work. \n

SUMMARY:Susie Morrill and Glen Newland at The Midtown
DESCRIPTION:Susie Morrill and Glen Newland \nMarch 14th through April 30th\, 2022\nOpening reception on April 2nd from 3pm to 5pm. \nThe Midtown\n1600 Pearl St\, Eugene\nEugene\, OR 97401\n8am to 6pm 7 days a week\nphotozonegallery.com \nThe PhotoZone Gallery presents a group exhibition by the PhotoZone membership as well as photographs by our two featured artists Susie Morrill and Glen Newland. \nThe exhibition takes place at The Midtown\, 1600 Pearl St\, Eugene\, OR 97401. The show is available for viewing 8am to 6pm 7 days a week. The Midtown is a beautiful new venue for art exhibitions and is the home of the Eugene Ballet and many other arts organizations. \nOur featured artists both explore images with important messages of social commentary. \nSusie Morrill’s body of work is from her trips to Cuba that began in 2011. She says\, “My work explores the humanity of the people and their human condition. The upper- and middle-class citizens manage in a troubled economic system\, but the lower income people really struggle. The American embargo seriously impacts the Cuban people. Despite their lack of resources\, the Cuban people remain a proud\, hardworking\, and happy people. To know Cuba is to love it.” \nGlenn Newland is our other featured artist. About his series “Invisible\,” Newland says “The most compelling subject (from my perspective) is my fellow humans\, as they portray themselves to\, and interact with\, the world around them. Sometimes the people I photograph have been marginalized by the people around them and/or the culture and the society of which they are an integral part. Ideally my images respect the dignity of the subject while revealing some truth.” \nThe PhotoZone Gallery is a diverse group of individuals dedicated to exhibiting fine art photography. This includes traditional and alternative processes that run the gamut of subject matter from experimental\, to straight landscape imagery\, to documentary photography. \n

SUMMARY:Jess T. Dugan\, To Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:Jess T. Dugan\, To Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Older Adults\n\nMarch 30\, 2022 6:00 – 7:00 pm\nEvent registration link: https://pdx.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_SL8CKUgHTwidWQUsBBbRXg \nJordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at PSU\n1855 SW Broadway\, Portland\, OR 97201\n503-725-8013\nTues – Sat 11:00 – 5pm (Thurs until 7pm)\njsma@pdx.edu\nhttps://www.pdx.edu/museum-of-art/events/virtual-artist-talk-jess-t-dugan \nJoin us for a virtual artist talk with Jess T. Dugan as they discuss our current exhibition\, To Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender And Gender Nonconforming Older Adults as well as their upcoming projects. For over 5 years\, photographer Jess T. Dugan and social worker Vanessa Fabbre traveled throughout the United States seeking subjects whose lived experiences exist within the complex intersections of gender identity\, age\, race\, ethnicity\, sexuality\, socioeconomic class\, and geographic location. The resulting portraits and narratives provide a nuanced view into the struggles and joys of growing older as a transgender person and offer a poignant reflection on what it means to live authentically despite seemingly insurmountable odds. \nTo Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Older Adults is an exhibition organized by Barrett Barrera Projects. The exhibition and talk are supported in part by the Oregon Cultural Trust. \n

SUMMARY:Sandi T. O’Brien - In Memoriam\, After the Holiday Farm Fire at The O’Brien Photo Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Sandi T. O’Brien\, In Memoriam\, After the Holiday Farm Fire \nMarch 14 through April 15.\nReception on March 19 from 11:00 to 4:00. \nThe O’Brien Photo Gallery\n2833 Willamette\, Ste. B.\nEugene\, OR. 97405\n(541) 729-3572\nOpen weekdays from 1:00 to 5:00 pm. Call to be sure we’re open.\nEmail:  picmac1945@gmail.com\nWebsite: https://www.waltobrien.net/the-o-brien-photo-gallery \nThe “In Memoriam” show is meant as a way to honor\, not just the Delta Campground nature trail but\, all those sacred spaces that mean so much to people who go there to refresh their spirits. Fire decimated many such places and this project was part of my grieving process. \nI first discovered the little ½ mile nature walk at the Delta Campgrounds in September of 2017. I was spending a weekend with a couple of friends on a “girls’ weekend” at a cabin on the McKenzie River. We looked for an easy hike and I\, as always\, took my cameras. The campground was closed\, due to the fires near Cougar Reservoir so we had to walk in and while walking the loop\, we discovered the nature trail. Despite the fact that the air was full of smoke\, I was entranced\, such a quiet magic place! What normally would have been a 15-20 minute walk took an hour at least as I photographed with digital infrared and my iPhone camera. Despite the smoke\, I left rejuvenated. \nOver the last few years\, I have returned time and again to photograph this spot during different seasons\, always coming away with a sense of peace and some beautiful photos as a bonus. My last trip\, January of 2021\, was a sad one\, as it was after the Holiday Farm Fire that engulfed much of the forest on the McKenzie River banks. My heart hurt for the residents of the area that had lost\, in some instances\, everything. I felt that we needed to go witness the devastation for ourselves. I was afraid of what I would find when we went to Delta Campground. My fears were confirmed. It was cold and the road to the campground was closed. These are all of the photos that I could manage before sadly turning back to the car to go home. \nIn the spring I will head up there again to witness the forest’s renewal. \nhttps://www.sanditobrien.com/artwork.

SUMMARY:The Immigrant Story\, To Bear Witness – Extraordinary Lives
DESCRIPTION:The Immigrant Story\, To Bear Witness – Extraordinary Lives \nThrough May 15\, 2022 \nOregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education\n724 NW Davis Street\nPortland\, OR 97209\nPhone: 503.226.3600\nWednesday – Saturday: 11am – 4pm \nProof of Covid-19 vaccination is required for all visitors 18 years and older and masks are required for all visitors 2 years and older\, regardless of vaccination status. \nThe Immigrant Story: https://theimmigrantstory.org/to-bear-witness-extraordinary-lives/ \nThe Immigrant Story and the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education invite you to visit “To Bear Witness – Extraordinary Lives\,” our newest multimedia exhibition\, opening December 9\, 2021\, at the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education. This exhibition celebrates the “Extraordinary Lives” of men and women who have endured unthinkable cruelty elsewhere in the world\, only to resume productive lives in their new homes in Oregon. \n“To Bear Witness” takes its name from the words of the late Nobel Prize-winning writer\, activist and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel\, who emphatically proclaimed\, “For the dead and the living\, we must bear witness.” And so we present this collection of profiles of survivors of the Nazi Holocaust\, genocides in Europe\, Africa and Asia and unimaginable atrocities of war. They are united by the troubling truth that human despotry sometimes knows no bounds. But each is also a portrait of courage and human resilience. We present these stories in hopes that they will inspire\, inform and possibly instruct. \n“To Bear Witness” includes 14 profiles from Myanmar\, Bosnia\, Rwanda\, Cambodia\, Syria\, Sudan\, Tibet\, Nazi-occupied Hungary\, Germany\, and Austria. \nThe Immigrant Story is proud to join with the lauded Portland photographer Jim Lommasson\, building upon his project\, “Stories of Survival\,” originally produced in collaboration with the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center. His work focuses on objects survivors were able to carry with them on their perilous journeys. From his photographs of the objects\, the participants respond with handwritten testimonies — stories\, memories\, poems\, drawings. Their stories speak to the luminous inner life of these ordinary things and testify to the unspeakable anguish of lives forever left behind. Ordinary objects thus become sacred objects. \nAlso on display are five short docu-series films by well-known video producers from the Pacific Northwest\, in collaboration with NW Documentary. These visceral personal stories emphasize the individual humanity of genocide survivors\, forcing viewers to look beyond cold facts and statistics and confront the immense emotional\, spiritual and physical violence that genocide inflicts. \nThey have so much to tell us. And so\, we must Bear Witness. \n

SUMMARY:Rich Bergeman at Art in the Valley Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Rich Bergeman\, Sky Palettes \nFeb. 8 – March 5\, 2022 \nArt in the Valley Gallery\n209 SW 2nd St.\, Corvallis\, Oregon 97333\nTues-Thur 11am-4pm; Fri-Sat 9:30am-5pm\nhttp://www.artinthevalley.net/\n541-752-0811\n \nCorvallis photographer Rich Bergeman will be showing a selection of infrared photographs from his series “Sky Palettes” at the Art in the Valley Gallery. \nBergeman said he started seeing cloud patterns in a new light during the pandemic shutdown of 2020\, when his “travels” were limited to walks around his residential Corvallis neighborhood. \n“I was struck by the fascinating canvas overhead\, especially the high-flying\, feathery cirrus clouds\, so I began taking my infrared camera along on my walks\,” he said. “Since then\, as my travels have widened\, I’ve become a card-carrying member of the Cloud Appreciation Society (a real thing–look it up!) and have continued to look for compositions in the sky.” \nCalled the “patron goddess of idle men” by the Greek playwright Aristophanes\, clouds have been an object of study and fascination for centuries\, but it wasn’t until the early 19th century that cloud spotters began to apply a scientific rigor to classifying them. This has resulted in a complex nomenclature that groups clouds–from the fluffy to the fleecy–into 10 genera (or families)\, each with several “species” and associated “varieties.”\n“What fascinates me most is the cloud genus known as cirrus\, which is Latin for fiber or hair\,” Bergeman said. “They form at the highest altitudes and are composed of ice crystals rather than water vapor\, which gives them a silky\, semi-transparent structure.” \nThe genus cirrus includes five different species and four different varieties\, all based on appearance\, but because they are constantly evolving as they flit across the sky\, positive identification by amateurs can be tricky.\nBergeman counts himself an amateur: “It turns out I am better at photographing these wispy clouds than I am at identifying them\, so I often make up my own names based on what the cloud shapes suggest. By using an infrared-sensitive camera\, I can isolate them against the sky and dramatize their shapes\, lines and movement.” \nA retired instructor of photography and journalism at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany\, OR\, Bergeman has been exhibiting his photography throughout the Northwest for more than 30 years. Originally a large-format film photographer and darkroom printer in silver and platinum\, he currently works primarily with digital infrared cameras and archival pigment printers. He has been exploring the infrared spectrum since 2015.

SUMMARY:Eugene Darkroom Group at The Dot Dotson’s Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Eugene Darkroom Group\, Same Difference\n2022 Annual Membership Show \nThe show will run from February 3 through February 28\nThere will be an opening reception on Friday February 4 from 4-6 pm. \nThe Dot Dotson’s Gallery\n1668 Willamette St\, Eugene\, OR 97401\n541-485-1771\nOpen Monday – Friday from 12-5\ndotdotsons.com \nSame Difference marks the 2022 iteration of Eugene Darkroom Group’s annual member’s show. In this body of work\, member artists were encouraged to reflect on the idiomatic concept of “Same Difference” and the many ways that this phrase can be interpreted and expressed. Though all artists were restricted to use the same paper and silver gelatin medium\, the prompt challenges photographers to look for difference wherever it lies and interpret the ways that these differences manifest against the sameness of the final presented forms in the show. In doing so\, the individual pieces combine to form a conceptual exploration both on the nature of uniqueness in art and also the idea of persistence of self during times of extreme change. \nEugene Darkroom Group is a 501(c)(3) non-profit in Eugene\, Oregon\, dedicated to preserving and promoting film photography. They are committed to revitalizing the medium by investing in the photographic talent of the people in the Eugene area. They provide a thoroughly equipped darkroom for film photographers and accessible education about the medium to the community. \nEugene Darkroom Group’s community darkroom and education program are located at Maude Kerns Art Center. Learn more about the group\, membership\, classes\, open darkroom hours\, and more at EUGdarkroom.org \nhttps://www.eugdarkroom.org. \n

SUMMARY:Agnès Varda – Faces Places at NewZone Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Photography At Oregon presents: Agnès Varda – Faces Places \nJanuary 28\, 2022 6:30 doors open; movie starts 7:00pm \nNewZone Gallery\n110 East 11th Ave\nEugene\, Oregon\n541-686-1240\nphotographyatoregon@comcast.net\nwww.photographyatoregon.org\nFree to the public; donations accepted \nAgnès Varda\, who was born in Belgium in 1928s and died in Paris in 2019\, was one of the leading figures of the French New Wave. She was a student at the Sorbonne and the École du Louvre and later became a photographer and film maker. Her first film\, La Pointe was shot in a distinct visual style with a documentary feel\, alternating between two narratives: a young couple examining their troubled marriage and a fishing village dealing with its collective problems. Varda’s still photography sometimes inspired her subsequent motion pictures. She maintained a fluid interrelationship between photographic and cinematic forms: “I take photographs\, or I make films\,” she said. “Or I put films in the photos\, or photos in the films.” \nFaces Places (2017)\nIn 2017\, Varda co-directed Faces Places with the artist JR (the pseudonym of a French photographer and street artist whose identity is unconfirmed). They teamed up to co-direct this enchanting documentary/road movie. \nIt follows Varda and JR traveling around rural France\, creating portraits of the people they come across. Varda was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for this film\, making her the oldest person to be nominated for a competitive Oscar. Although the nomination was her first\, Varda did not regard it as important\, stating: “There is nothing to be proud of\, but happy. Happy because we make films to love. We make films so that you love the film.” \nTaken from Britannica and Wikipedia \n

SUMMARY:Depth of Field: Selections from the Bill Rhoades Collection of Northwest Photography at Hallie Ford Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Depth of Field: Selections from the Bill Rhoades Collection of Northwest Photography \nJanuary 4 – April 23\, 2022 \nHallie Ford Museum of Art\n700 State St\nSalem\, OR 97301\nhttps://willamette.edu/arts/hfma/index.html \nFor the past twenty-four years\, collector Bill Rhoades of Madras\, Oregon\, has donated hundreds of examples of Northwest art to the Hallie Ford Museum of Art\, including paintings\, prints\, drawings\, sculpture\, and Native American art. In recent years\, Rhoades has turned his attention almost exclusively to photography. Organized by curator Jonathan Bucci in collaboration with Rhoades\, the exhibition presents a range of Northwest photographs donated to the Hallie Ford Museum of Art by the collector. \nThe photography focus within the museum’s Bill Rhoades Collection has grown extensively in recent years and explores the history of Northwest Photography through some of the most significant regional photographers and photo groups of the past one hundred years.

SUMMARY:Michel Strain at The O'Brien Photo Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Michael Strain\, Infrastructure\n\nJanuary 18 through February 28\nThe reception will be on Saturday\, January 22 from 11-4 pm\nLimited to 4 people at a time.  Masks Required. \nThe O’Brien Photo Gallery\n2833 Willamette\, Ste. B\nEugene\, OR. 97405\n(541) 729-3572\nOpen Monday – Friday from 1-5 pm\nCall first to be sure we’re open\nemail:picmac1945@gmail.com\nwebsite: https://www.waltobrien.net/the-o-brien-photo-gallery \nThese images are abstracts from our built environment “infrastructure” featuring the likes of utility meters\, parking stripes\, manhole covers\, and car bumpers in their utilitarian and/or incidental surroundings. \nThe viewer is invited to consider the objects in the photograph as compositional elements… rather than being the subject of the photograph per se. In my approach the intended subject is the composition itself\, comprised of the geometrical\, texture\, color relationships\, and cultural associations of the various objects. The photograph is an “abstract” or sample witnessed from a particular point of view. \nThese photographs were taken locally with an iPhone 6s in the Eugene Willamette Street Corridor and on trips to Montana\, Guatemala\, Oaxaca\, Chiapas\, and San Miguel de Allende\, Mexico. \nGrowing up in Montana\, I was first introduced to photography and darkroom work by my grandmother when I was about age eight. In college I managed the darkroom in my dorm while narrowly missing the popular photography courses taught at MIT by Minor White. In the mid-1970’s I began working with large format cameras and produced a series of one-of-a-kind 8×10 color Polaroid images taken with a home-built view camera. Having recently retired as an instrumentation scientist at the University of Oregon\, I have renewed my photographic efforts\, but now using an iPhone as my primary tool. The phone is kind of like a miniature view camera with a wide-angle lens. It is appealing because of its small\, inconspicuous size making it perfect for international travel and spontaneity. Modern ink-jet printers capture the crisp\, brilliant colors that drew me to the color Polaroid medium of days gone by. \nhttps://www.photozonegallery.com/michael-strain \n

SUMMARY:Michael Z Taylor at the Don Dexter Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Michael Z Taylor\, The Willfulness Of Being (Life Aware of Itself)\n\nJanuary 4th to March 30th\, 2022 \nDon Dexter Gallery\n2233 Willamette Street Ste. B Eugene\, Oregon\n541-485-6644\nM-F 8am to 5pm\, closed alternating Mondays and Fridays\nmedia@drdexter.com\nhttps://art.drdexter.com/ \nThe Willfulness of Being (Life Aware of Itself)\nI don’t talk to my house plants or play for them a Fiscella piano composition. That would presume an aging Philodendron can be reflective as an old man facing his end. But as I wander through the quiet muse of a redwood grove or observe the blanket of canopy embracing an old bridge\, I find myself sharing with them an awareness: That we are each of us a life possessed\, one brief moment trailing in the sweep of infinite time and space. \nThese photographs\, a work in progress\, are about more than seeing a tree or a leaf. They are about seeing ourselves\, in connection with the world around us. They are portraits; profiles of community\, of family\, of souls wrapped in the fleeting grace of being. \nAnd I believe they are aware of that single moment they inhabit\, as we\, too\, should be. And that in each of these images there exists a willfulness of being – a life aware of itself. \nmztphotography@comcast.net\nMztphotography.com

SUMMARY:Jim Lommasson & The Immigrant Story at Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education
DESCRIPTION:Jim Lommasson & The Immigrant Story\, To Bear Witness – Extraordinary Lives\n\nDecember 12\, 2021 – May 15th 2022\nMuseum hours: Wednesday – Saturday: 11am – 4pm \nOregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education\n724 NW Davis Street\nPortland\, OR 97209\nPhone: 503.226.3600\nMasks are currently required in the museum. \nMuseum Admission\nAdults: $8\nStudents & Seniors: $5\nMembers: Free\nChildren under 12: Free \nTo Bear Witness – Extraordinary Lives features photographs\, profiles\, and short films that capture the stories of individuals who left their homelands for safe haven in Oregon. These brave men and women\, born in places as far-flung as Austria\, Bosnia\, Myanmar\, Cambodia\, Germany\, Hungary\, Rwanda\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Tibet\, witnessed the atrocities of war\, genocide\, and the Holocaust. Each profile reveals the resilience of the survivor and the generosity of the many who provided assistance along the way. \nThe exhibition is a partnership between OJMCHE and The Immigrant Story\, in collaboration with Jim Lommasson and NW Documentary\, and presents a multimedia exhibition focused on the lives of these 14 refugees. \nFounded in 2017 by Sankar Raman\, who immigrated to the U.S. from India\, The Immigrant Story is a volunteer-run nonprofit with a mission to foster empathy and build a more inclusive community by sharing stories of immigrants and refugees who often overcame tremendous odds to reach the United States. Sankar\, who has experienced violent\, racially-motivated attacks\, founded The Immigrant Story in response to a Kansas shooting in February 2017 that killed one Indian American man and injured two others. \nThe Immigrant Story has collaborated with Portland photographer Jim Lommasson\, building upon his project\, Stories of Survival\, originally produced in collaboration with the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center. His work focuses on objects survivors were able to carry with them on their perilous journeys. From his photographs of the objects\, the participants respond with handwritten testimonies — stories\, memories\, poems\, drawings. Their stories speak to the luminous inner life of these ordinary things and testify to the unspeakable anguish of lives forever left behind. \nJim Lommasson is a freelance photographer and author living in Portland and is a recipient of the Dorothea Lange–Paul Taylor Prize from The Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. \n

SUMMARY:Greg Giesy at The O’Brien Photo Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Greg Giesy\, The Serendipitous Photographer \nShowing from December 3 – January 13.\nArtist reception on Saturday\, December 11 from 11 – 4 pm\nLimited to 4 at a time\, masks required. \nThe O’Brien Photo Gallery\n2833 Willamette\, Ste. B.\nEugene\, OR 97405\n541 729-3572\nOpen weekdays from 1 – 5 pm\nCall to be sure we are open or to reserve a special time.\ngallery email: picmac1945@gmail.com\ngallery website:  https://www.waltobrien.net/the-o-brien-photo-gallery \nHave you ever seen a Cooper’s Hawk having lunch\, a Green Heron catch a frog\, an Otter sitting on a log eating a fish\, an immature Bald Eagle sunning itself on an old snag\, a Great Blue Heron nest building\, or a Marsh Wren that seldom appears from the thicket singing to you in the wetlands. These are the sights Greg sees and photographs on his walks and he will share all these wonderful things with you in his new exhibit.\nMost people assume that a photographer waits for something to happen with all the patience in the world and there are nature photographers that do\, but Greg wanders always looking for the tree\, the insect\, the mushroom\, the bird\, the flower that he thinks will take a great photograph. \nGreg\, an award-winning nature and wildlife photographer\, may argue over the word\, accidental\, if you are out looking for photo options is it an accident that you find good photo opportunities? He would probably say it was the gift to find surprises that can turn into amazing pictures. \nThe best example this year of an amazing surprise was being on the pedestrian & bike bridge over the Willamette River at Valley River and seeing the diving waterfowl\, Common Mergansers\, swimming towards the bridge. Female and immature Common Mergansers have a burnt orange head with feathers flaring out behind and a long thin orange beak. An interesting bird to look at but these diving birds arch their back and are gone under the water. This time though Greg was in the right place on a sunny day with clear water so that he could see and photograph down through the water as the Mergansers swam acrobatically under the water to catch fish. \nhttps://greggiesy.zenfolio.com \n

SUMMARY:Jim Lommasson\, What We Carried: Threads at PLACE Galleria
DESCRIPTION:Jim Lommasson\, What We Carried: Threads\nPresented by Portland TextileX Month And The Immigrant Story \nExtended through December 3\, 2021 \nGallery hours:\nTuesdays\, Wednesdays and Fridays\, 10-5pm.\nViewing by appointment only and please contact at Atsuko.komoto@place.la to confirm your visit. \nPLACE Galleria\n735 Northwest 18th Avenue\nPortland\, OR 97209 \nThis holy pouch called the Bukhechick\, was made by my mother in Iraq and blessed with holy water at Lalish temple. When praying\, Yazidi face and kiss this holy pouch. The peacock feather represents the Yazidi Peacock Angel. Inside the Buckechick there are Barats (sphere shapes made of holy Lalish temple soil). Each one of these Barats represents certain spiritual saints in the Yazidi religion. The Barats in this particular Buckechick symbolize Yazidi Saints.\n– Hammo Murad\, Iraq (From “What We Carried: Yazidis of Lincoln\, Nebraska”) \nFor Portland Textiles Month\, Jim Lommasson has assembled works in which participants chose textiles to carry to their new homes in the U.S. \nJim Lommasson’s “What We Carried” photo and writing projects begin with a personal object that the participant carried with them on their long and difficult journey from their homelands to the U.S. Objects include a family photo\, a bible\, a Quran\, a doll\, dominoes\, a teacup or a serving dish from family celebrations\, to the clothes that they were wearing when they fled their homes. \nLommasson asks participants to allow him to photograph those few items that they were able to carry with them to the U.S. He asks the participants to write directly on the photograph about their object and why that particular item was so important that they chose it above everything else. Their stories speak of much more than “the object.” The stories are profound and speak to our common humanity. The luminous inner life of these ordinary things is a testament to the unspeakable anguish of a life left forever behind. Ordinary objects become sacred. The photo and writings become a new artifact. \nParticipants in Lommasson’s What We Carried projects are from Iraq\, Syria\, Armenia\, Bosnia\, Herzegovina\, Rwanda\, Sudan\, Burundi\, Congo\, Central African Republic\, Tanzania\, Mexico\, El Salvador\, and Guatemala. Lommasson has partnered with The Illinois Holocaust Museum and The Immigrant Story. \nFor Portland TextileX Month\, Lommasson has assembled works in which participants chose textiles to carry to their new homes in the U.S. \nJim Lommasson is a freelance photographer and author living in Portland and is a recipient of the Dorothea Lange–Paul Taylor Prize from The Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. \n

Founded during the California gold rush and inhabited until 1942 it is preserved just as it was when it was abandoned. At the inhospitable altitude of over 8\,000 feet in the Sierra Nevada Mountains\, Bodie had a population of over 10\,000 at its peak in about 1880. Eugene photographer Bill Haynes has captured the essence of this haunting remnant of Western history. The collection artistically displays the remaining buildings and their contents just as they existed when the last residents left. \nIn addition to “Bodie”\, Haynes will show another smaller series entitled “Water” consisting of abstract images of water. Colorful and provocative these images challenge the imagination in a pleasant and soothing way. \nhttps://www.photozonegallery.com/bill-haynes.

SUMMARY:Lorraine Richey at South Santiam Hall Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Lorraine Richey\, Quarantine City Art \nSept. 27 – Nov. 5\, 2021 \nReception: October 14th 6-7 (calendar) via Zoom\nThe public is invited to join at this link: https://linnbenton.zoom.us/j/97161088209 \nSouth Santiam Hall Gallery\nLinn-Benton Community College\n6500 Pacific Blvd SW\, Albany\, Oregon\nMon-Fri 8-5\nartgallery@linnbenton.eduMasks and COVID protocols enforced. \n“Quarantine City Art” represents a personal journey for Portland artist Lorraine Richey\, a creative journey she undertook in the midst of the pandemic to “think how all the photographs I made would all come together and tell a tale of my COVID-dodging life.” \nAmong the approximately 20 images in the show are the mystical multi-layered abstractions she is best known for\, as well as several overlaid with documentary depictions of the tribulations of 2020\, including the Black Lives Matter protests in Portland and the wild fires in the Cascades near Detroit. \nOver the past 20 months she “could not stop making images\,” she said. “I was driven by what I saw around me–the beautiful\, ugly and in between–seeing people help those in need during a demonstration in Portland\, to speaking with others about what was going on and photographing the paintings and graffiti that exploded in the city and environs.” \nRichey grew up in Detroit\, Mich.\, and moved to Oregon in 1982– “best move I ever made\,” she said. Despite eye problems since childhood that continue to limit her vision to this day\, she discovered that photography helped her to see the world on her own terms. After she bought a camera in her late teens\, “my art life truly began\,” she said. “People would ask: ‘With those eyes how can you be a photographer?’ You only need one eye to focus\, I would reply.” \nShe earned a BFA in photography from Oregon State University\, studying under Prof. Harrison Branch\, and a Masters in photography from Indiana University before moving back to Portland. Over the past several years Richey has exhibited her work in the greater Portland area\, as well as in Corvallis. She is a member of the Inner Light Society of Portland and the Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild. \nFor further information\, contact artgallery.linnbenton.edu. \n

I would pick one out\, spread it on the floor\, find the little towns with funny names and dream of going there…. [Doing so by] car\, far from the runways and freeways\, there is the rolling-past-yesterday romance of the old routes; the rambling rivulets that flow between East and West; the ribbons that wrap an ever-diminishing rural American into a gift from the past. \nRather than creating images\, I find them. The reality is someone else’s; the humor is mine. I might enhance that humor through juxtaposition. Sometimes a “grab shot” is the only way to get the picture. But then that’s just what you might glimpse from your car window as you’re riding. \nThis is my way of avoiding the straight and narrow of the four-lane bureaucratic beltway. It makes me wonder whatever happened to touring: “Waaall sonny\, d’ya want the shortest way or d’ya wanna take the scenic route?\nI always take that scenic route. \nThese photographs are for anyone who has ever taken a ride in a car. \n— George Olson \nGeorge Olson’s work is known for its wit and moving detail. On the Board of Directors of Northwest Center for Photography in Portland\, Oregon\, he is former director of photography of Sunset and has photographed for National Geographic\, Time\, Newsweek\, Sports Illustrated\, Smithsonian\, and the New York Times. He was a picture editor for the San Francisco Examiner and books in the Day in the Life series. He was Director of Photography of Baseball in America and edited Planet Vegas. He is on the faculty of the Missouri University Photo Workshop. He served on the faculty of the Book Passage Travel Photography workshop and has taught photography workshops through Fotovision. He participated in Photography at the Summit workshops in Jackson Hole and Colorado Springs. He taught photojournalism at the University of California\, Berkeley. Olson served as judge for Pictures of the Year; Best of Photojournalism; College Photographer of the Year; Women’s Conference on Photojournalism; and the Western Magazine Publishers Maggie Awards.

Two photographers contributed work to the book: Joe Singer and Jan Becket. This exhibit consists of images in the book by Jan Becket. Joe Singer has since passed away. The book won the Samuel Kamakau Award for best Hawaiʻi book of the year and several Palapala Awards for best photographic book and best book design. Images are of heiau\, Hawaiian ceremonial temples and smaller shrines of the makaʻāinana\, the common people. There had been a survey of these sites on Oʻahu in the early 1930s by one man\, and another partial survey in the early 1950s but nothing since. Often\, people living near them had no idea they existed. Thus\, in those pre-GPS times\, with vague maps\, our primary effort was to locate the places. We visited 140 ceremonial sites on Oʻahu\, some of which were unrecorded. A few no longer exist\, having been sacrificed to development. It took us 12 years to create the images in this book. All images were made on 4X5 black and white film. Images in this exhibit are from those scanned negatives\, printed on Moab Juniper. “ \n
