SUMMARY:PhotoArts Guild\, Finding the Light at Giustina Gallery
DESCRIPTION:PhotoArts Guild\, Finding the Light \nOct. 1 – 30 \nGiustina Gallery at The LaSells Center\nOregon State University\n875 SW 26th St.\, Corvallis\, OR 97333\nTues – Fri 10am-4pm\nhttps://lasells.oregonstate.edu\n(Check the website for most current operating hours and face-covering policies.) \nThe Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild’s 12th biennial exhibit\, “Finding the Light\,” features over 80 photographs that interpret the opening lines of Amanda Gorman’s poem read at the Presidential Inauguration in January 2021. The 23 photographers participating in the exhibit were asked to look for literal or metaphorical interpretations of the poem\, in particular its opening lines: \nWhen day comes we ask ourselves \nwhere can we find light in the never-ending shade? \nThe result is a wide-ranging exhibit of color and black-and-white photographs depicting light in its myriad forms–on the landscape\, in the heavens\, along city streets and in the dark of night; as well as inside churches\, museums\, attics\, airports–including inside the minds of the artist. \nThe Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild was formed more than 30 years ago to promote and support fine art photography in the mid-valley and has been an affiliated guild of the Corvallis Art Center since 1988. This is the 12th in the guild’s series of biennial expositions at The LaSells Stewart Center. \n

SUMMARY:Sarah Graves at Buckley Center Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Graves  somewhere only we know \nAugust 16-September 16th\, 2021 \nUniversity of Portland\, Buckley Center Gallery\n5000 N Willamette Blvd\, Portland\, OR 97203\nMon-Fri 8:30am-8pm\, Sat & Sun 8:30am-4pm\nhttps://pfaatup.wixsite.com/bcgallery \nsomewhere only we know is a collection 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. \nThis curation is inspired by distant places close to our heart. Many of us have experienced this emotion due to recent world events. This sentiment is embodied in a German word\, fernweh. The word is a combination of fern\, meaning distance\, and weh\, meaning an ache\, misery or sickness. It translates to ‘far woe’ or an ache to explore far-flung places. The images are places of importance both far and near that were not able to be visited for a time. They are places in the artist’s memory preserved on film. They offer both comfort and longing. They are bittersweet places\, out of the reach of time\, both untouched and untouchable.\nwww.gravesstudios.com

SUMMARY:Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild at Moreland Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild\, Quartets \nJune 4 – September 4\, 2021\nMoreland Gallery\, Benton County Historical Museum\n1101 Main St.\nPhilomath\, Oregon 97370\n541-929-6230\nHOURS: Wednesday through Saturday\, 10 – 4:30\nMasks and social distancing required \nSeventeen members of the Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild are exhibiting four-image portfolios of their work in an exhibit called “Quartets” this summer in the Moreland Gallery at the Benton County Historical Museum in Philomath. \nThe exhibit stems from a project undertaken during the pandemic shutdown in 2020\, when the photographers were asked to create portfolios of four related images to share on the group’s website. “It was a way to keep the creative juices flowing during a time of restricted travel\,” explained Rich Bergeman\, who helped organize the show. \nThe creative exercise caught the eye of Benton County Museum Curator Mark Tolenon\, who led a juried review of the 88 portfolios submitted for the brick-and-mortar show. The work on view reflects a wide range of subject matter–from colorful cactus closeups to a black-and-white documentary of Portland’s social protests–and demonstrate a variety of photographic techniques\, including infrared\, intentional camera movement and abstraction. \n

SUMMARY:Jennifer Brommer at Pushdot Studio
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Brommer\, Memories Of My Mother + Recent Works \nJune 4th- July 30th\, 2021 \nPushdot Studio\n2505 SE 11th Avenue\, Suite 104\n(in the Ford Building\, enter on Division Street)\nPortland\, OR 97202\n503.224.5925\nwww.pushdotstudio.com\nGallery Hours: Mon-Fri. 8:30am to 5:00pm\, free admission \nMy Mother was Paranoid Schizophrenic. I barely knew who she was. But I have glimpses filtered through youth and time\, as a teen visiting her through the halls of Bellevue Hospital\, or living with her during the early 90s in NYC hotels such as the Chelsea. This project is to recreate scenes that took place to understand who she was. It’s also about me\, this kid in the world contending with my mother’s mental illness and the way a child develops a sense of identity in such a setting. This project was photographed in Nashville and Portland using staged sets to reimagine these experiences: a home\, hotels\, hospitals and environs that suggest institutions. \nRecent works will also be displayed. \nThank you to Regional Arts and Cultural Council for the project grant to pursue this project.

SUMMARY:Barbara Harrison at PhotoZone Gallery (online this month)
DESCRIPTION:Barbara Harrison\, Patterns of Illumination \nJune 1 to June 29\, 2021 \nPhotoZone Gallery\nhttps://www.photozonegallery.com/\nOnline for the month of June\nAs a visual artist\, Barbara Harrison wanders the environs\, eyes in motion – delving into textures\, patterns\, colors\, and lines painted by light; expanding the view a scene presents by altering perspective. Exploring Patterns of Illumination\, the observer has a chance to visualize the possibilities\, rather than what is. \nBarbara’s love of the outdoors developed when she was a little girl. The need to be outside has never left her and is very much a part of the photographic subject she pursues. She was drawn into photography by her first partner whose main interest was nature and wildlife. Together they spent summers traveling the US and Canada\, photographing in national parks and preserves. Barbara has stood in the middle of a big horn sheep rut and had pronghorn run right by her. A desert tortoise came up and smelled her in Joshua Tree. In Alaska\, she was privileged to be in the presence of a young male grizzly positioned against a backdrop of mountains who slept through the whole experience. Barbara treasures these moments that have given her the privilege of being accepted by wildlife and a challenge to photograph and explore. \nToday\, you will find Barbara wandering the environs with her camera trying to reimagine the everyday that people don’t seem to notice and present the subject in a light that may catch their attention. \nBarbara holds Master’s Degrees in Film and Video and in Community Change and Civic Leadership focused on environmental justice. She is a Medicare for All activist and is especially interested in reaching out to marginalized communities\, particularly rural working-class utilizing a storytelling format. She has developed a workshop to achieve this goal and to address moral questions that cross class\, ethnic\, and cultural lines. \nIn producing her film\, Speaking Out for Health Care for Everyone\, which won two Pegasus Awards\, Barbara videotaped and edited individuals’ stories regarding experiences using the health system and the need for single-payer healthcare. \nBarbara also produced Michael Milligan’s play Mercy Killers. According to Hagop M. Kantarjian\, M.D.\, who is chairman of the Department of Leukemia\, Anderson Cancer Center\, University of Texas\, “It is an account of the consequences of a medical catastrophe in a family: loss of insurance and home; divorcing a loved one to benefit from indigent care; loss of dignity and moral compass; and most importantly\, loss of a precious life.”\nShe currently has a children’s counting book under contract and is working on instructions for the illustrator. \nFor more photographs\, please visit barbaracharrison.com and Instagram bcharrison0921 \nFor inquiries or purchasing request\, please call 607 279 6429 or by email: bcharrison0921@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Johnnie Chatman at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Johnnie Chatman\, i forgot where we were…\n2020 En Foco Fellowship Exhibition \nApril 1–May 29\, 2021 \nArtist talk with Johnnie Chatman\nWednesday\, May 19\, 5:00 PM PDT on Zoom \nBlue Sky Gallery\n122 NW 8th Avenue\nPortland\, Oregon 97209 USA\nhttp://www.blueskygallery.org/\n(By appointment)\nMasks Required \nPlease note that these days and hours may change as we continue to respond to the COVID-19 situation in Multnomah County.  Our exhibitions will continue to be on display on the TV monitors in our front windows and available on our website. \nIn this chapter of his self-portrait series\, Johnnie Chatman inserts himself into the topography of the American West\, drawing attention to the exclusionary narratives\, myths\, and histories that have long been associated with these iconic landscapes. Through these visual interventions\, Chatman shifts the focus to black histories and experiences. Chatman observes\, “Like the black body\, the West is a complex\, unstable signifier given meaning by those who have lived within it\, passed through it\, conquered it\, settled\, farmed\, militarized\, urbanized\, and dreamed it…the project explores the ambiguity and multiplicity of blackness oscillating between a space of romance and critique\, objective research\, and personal narrative.” \nJohnnie Chatman is a Californian lens-based artist currently residing in New York. He holds an MFA in Photography\, Video & Related Media from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Chatman’s work has been featured in exhibitions across the United States\, including at Fraenkel Gallery\, HereArts\, SF Camerawork\, Figge Art Museum\, and Sioux Art Center. His work can be found in many private and public collections including at the Figge Art Museum and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. His work has been featured in publications including Dear Dave\, Nueva Lutz\, and Zoetrope All-Story. He is also the founder and curator of Terms & Conditions\, an experimental film screening series. In 2020\, Chatman was awarded an En Foco Photography Fellowship. \nPlease visit enfoco.org to learn more about the En Foco Fellowship program. \n

SUMMARY:David N Jones: In Memoriam at Emerald Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:David N Jones: In Memoriam\nFeatured Artist\, PhotoZone Gallery \nMay 5 to May 28\, 2021\nReception: May 14 from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm \nEmerald Arts Center\n500 Main Street\nSpringfield\, Oregon\n541-726-8595\n11:00 to 4:00 Wednesday to Saturday\nphotozonegalleryoregon@gmail.com\nemeraldartscenter.org\nOpen to the public \nDavid N. Jones knew the natural joy of being alive. Most of those who knew him would agree that he made life and love a priority in all that he did. Growing up with family in California’s wine country\, he formed an insatiable curiosity about the world around him. This loving respect for living things and his gentle nature fostered a passion for photography. His images capture not only the nuance of light and composition but express something more internal\, more personal. They reveal a compassionate heart. \nDavid received his BA in history from UC Davis and a masters of Arts Degree at Saint Mary’s College. Together\, they opened up a course for the rest of his life. He traveled and taught internationally\, while always exploring his artistic vision and touching the hearts of many across the globe. \nDavid joined his sister in Eugene twenty years ago in order to care for their parents. He quickly established himself in the local fine-art photographic community. David loved hiking and traveling the vast wonders of the Pacific Northwest. He captured precious singular moments on film and\, later\, in digital media. As his health declined David began to create images in his studio environment. Some of his most impressive work is seen in the use of mirrors within paper constructions and soft high-key\, pastel lighting. Motivated by his love of the natural world\, David also used this lighting to great effect making beautiful portraits of butterflies and flowers. His computer skill and grasp of Photoshop were the final touch in the creation of his characteristically wistful\, sometimes dramatic\, always beautiful images. \nDavid happily shared these experiences to fellow photographers through regular demonstrations and training sessions\, including layers\, editing techniques\, and the dramatic enhancing of architectural photography.\nThis memorial exhibit is a very limited collection of photographs that hopefully will demonstrate the diversity of his work as well as the compassionate place from which these images came. He was\, and still is\, a compelling influence in the community of fine art photography\, a warm and loving muse for us all\, and an inspiration in the pursuit of beauty – both in the world around us in each of our hearts. \nhttps://www.davidnjonesphotography.com/ \n

SUMMARY:Rich Bergeman at White Lotus Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Rich Bergeman\, The Vanishing West \nApril 30 – June 12\, 2021 \nWhite Lotus Gallery\n767 Willamette St.\, Eugene\, OR 97401\n541-375-3276\nwlotus.com\nlin@wlotus.com\nOpen Tuesday through Saturday 10am – 4pm\nMasks and social distancing required\nPrivate appointments on request \nDuring the Great Western Migration\, as the Native American population in eastern Oregon and Washington gradually gave way to disease\, conflict and broken treaties\, they were replaced by pioneers in search of gold\, homesteads and open range. During the late 19th century and the early years of the next\, settlers built cabins\, proved up homesteads and organized small communities all across this high\, wide and dry country. Over time many gave up on the harsh landscape\, leaving the region dotted with melancholic relics of their hopes and dreams–schoolhouses crumbling from neglect\, farmhouses falling back to earth\, ghost towns gradually giving up their ghosts. \nWith a combination of platinum/palladium prints and pigment ink prints spanning the past three decades\, this exhibition will illustrate Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman’s photographic pursuit of the vanishing traces of early settlement east of the Cascades. A native of Ohio and an Oregonian since 1976\, Rich has been a journalist\, educator and curator during his career\, and an exhibiting fine art photographer for over 30 years. He enjoys expressing himself through photography in a variety of forms\, but primarily by pointing his camera backward\, to the past. \n

SUMMARY:Jon Gottshall at Gallery 114
DESCRIPTION:Jon Gottshall\, Floodplain \nApril 1-May 1\, 2021 \n1100 NW Glisan\nPortland\, Oregon 97209\n503-243-3356\nHOURS:  Currently Saturdays 12-6\, Friday & Sunday 12-3.\nAppointments by request:   jon@jongottshall.com\nMasks and social distancing are required \nIn April Gallery 114 presents “Floodplain\,” archival inkjet photography by Jon Gottshall that focuses on the current\, perhaps urgent\, state of the natural and built environments of the floodplains of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. The exhibit opens virtually on First Thursday\, April 1\, and closes Saturday\, May 1. This exhibit represents a questioning of how we choose to build on and use environmentally sensitive land; it represents a search to find space between human utility and ecosystem health that can allow for the function of both in a sustainable manner. “We need a new paradigm for the future\,” says Gottshall. “The effects of the past 100 years of development are everywhere to be seen\, and the urbanized waterways of this nation will never be ‘wild’ again.” In these affecting and enlightening photographs of the two converging floodplains\, Gottshall sketches a history of development–the engineering of our major waterways and industrial lands–yet at the same time he notes that he sees signs of hope for the ecosystems\, “where aquatic life\, damaged though it is in the Columbia Slough and the Willamette\, persists and somehow endures.” \nJon Gottshall is a teacher and photographer who for more than 20 years has been photographing landscapes along the Willamette River through Portland. He has photographed the Portland Harbor as what he calls a “contested landscape\,” an ecosystem and industrial corridor. In another photographic series\, he documented the transition from the old Sellwood Bridge to the new one\, the demolition and construction going on side by side. The project symbolized for Gottshall the transition of Portland itself from a small to a modern city. His interest is in visually investigating how Portland’s development has affected the ecological health of the river\, and how recent restoration efforts must compete with current industrial uses. \nGottshall has been awarded a RACC grant and has work in private and public collections. He has been with Gallery 114 since 2007. \nThe floodplains along the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers were\, in their pre-development state\, a braided maze of tidal and seasonal streams\, wetlands and marshes. As an intermediate zone between the riverbanks and the drier uplands\, the floodplains supported one of the regions most diverse and complex ecosystems\, home to a wide variety of aquatic and upland species. \nThe floodplain that now exists along the Willamette and Columbia Rivers is quite different from its pre-settlement condition. As the wetlands were drained\, the drier land became ideal for economic development—railroads\, warehouses and manufacturing became the main utility of the floodplains\, kept behind a protective barrier of levees. \nNot all of the waterways were eliminated\, of course. The Willamette has been channeled\, what was once a real Swan Island is now a peninsula\, the upriver eastern channel filled and now spider-webbed with railroad tracks. The Columbia Slough\, along with several lakes and ponds\, are the surviving remnants of what once covered the Columbia’s southern shore near the outlet of the Willamette. \nWe like to build where it is easiest. From an economic perspective\, a low floodplain makes an attractive site to develop\, if you can ward off annual floods. Dams and levees were built along the Columbia to keep the high water back\, and the once porous landscape is now covered with hardscape and impervious surfaces. The Slough has been relegated to a drainage\, and has filled with industrial sediments for over a century. \nYet aquatic life\, damaged though it is in the Slough and the Willamette\, persists and somehow endures. Herons\, osprey and otter still make it their home\, albeit living on fish that the Oregon DEQ warns humans against consuming. For some people\, it is a place of recreation and connection. Though there is a great deal of work to be done\, initial steps are now underway to stabilize and perhaps restore both waterways to a more sustainable ecosystem. \nThe effects of the past 100 years of development are everywhere to be seen\, and the urbanized waterways of this nation will never be “wild” again. Our engineering of major waterways is not likely to stop. This exhibit represents a questioning of how we choose to build on and use environmentally sensitive land\, a search to find space between human utility and ecosystem health\, which can allow for the function of both in a sustainable manner. We need a new paradigm for the future. \n

SUMMARY:Lora Webb Nichols at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Lora Webb Nichols: Photographs Made\, Photographs Collected\nCurated by Nicole Jean Hill of the Lora Webb Nichols Archive \nApril 1–May 1\, 2021 \nCurator’s talk with Nicole Jean Hill\nThursday\, April 1\, 6:00 PM PDT on Zoom\nZoom Curatorial Talk with Nicole Jean Hill Tickets\, Thu\, Apr 1\, 2021 at 6:00 PM | Eventbrite \nBlue Sky Gallery\n122 NW 8th Avenue\nPortland\, Oregon 97209 USA\nhttp://www.blueskygallery.org/\n(By appointment)\nMasks Required \nPlease note that these days and hours may change as we continue to respond to the COVID-19 situation in Multnomah County.  Our exhibitions will continue to be on display on the TV monitors in our front windows and available on our website. \nPhotographs Made\, Photographs Collected is a selection of images curated by Nicole Jean Hill from the photography archive of Lora Webb Nichols (1883-1962). As a studio photographer and professional photo refinisher in the mining town of Encampment\, Wyoming\, Nichols created and collected approximately 24\,000 negatives over the course of her lifetime. This selection of images chronicles the domestic\, social\, and economic aspects of the sparsely populated frontier of south-central Wyoming during the early 1900s into the 1930s. Given the period of time the collection spans\, the isolation of the Encampment community\, and Nichols’ gender\, this collection of images is unparalleled in its historical significance and visual storytelling.\nLora Webb Nichols received her first camera in 1899 at the age of sixteen\, coinciding with the rise of Wyoming’s copper mining boom. The earliest photographs are of her immediate family\, self-portraits\, and landscape images of the cultivation of the region surrounding the town of Encampment. In addition to the personal imagery\, the young Nichols photographed miners\, industrial infrastructure\, and a small town’s adjustment to a sudden\, but ultimately fleeting\, population increase. As early as 1906\, Nichols was working for hire as a photographer for industrial documentation and family portraits\, developing and printing from a darkroom she fashioned in the home she shared with her husband and their children. After the collapse of the copper industry\, Nichols remained in Encampment and established the Rocky Mountain Studio\, a photography and photofinishing service\, to help support her family. Her commercial studio was a focal point of the town throughout the 1920s and 1930s. \nWith an anthropological approach to image making\, Nicole Jean Hill is an artist using photography and video to explore familiar spaces and activities within the American cultural and natural landscape. She was born and raised in Toledo\, Ohio and received a BFA in photography from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and an MFA in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her photographs have been exhibited throughout the U.S.\, Europe\, Canada\, and Australia\, including Gallery 44 in Toronto\, the Australia Centre for Photography in Sydney\, and Blue Sky Gallery. Her work has been featured in the Magenta Foundation publication Flash Forward: Emerging Photography from the U.S.\, U.K.\, and Canada\, the Humble Art Foundation’s The Collector’s Guide to Emerging Photography\, and National Public Radio. Hill has been an artist-in-residence at several arts organizations and universities\, including the Center for Land Use Interpretation in Wendover\, Utah\, the Ucross Foundation in Wyoming\, and the Newspace Center for Photography in Portland\, Oregon. She currently resides in Humboldt County\, California and is a Professor of Art at Humboldt State University. \n

SUMMARY:Donald Myers at PhotoZone Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Donald Myers\, The Unseen World of Infrared Photography \nMarch 4 to March 26\, 2021 \nReception: March 5 from 5:00 to 8:30\nMasks Required \nPhotoZone Gallery\n22 West 7th Ave.  Eugene\, Oregon\n541-683-0759\n12:00 to 6:00 Tuesday through Sunday\nhttps://www.photozonegallery.com/\nFree and open to the public \n  \nThe Unseen World of Infrared Photography \nInfrared\, or “IR” photography\, offers photographers of all abilities and budgets the opportunity to explore a new world – the world of the unseen. Infrared (IR) photography follows the basic photographic concept of “capturing light\,” except it captures the ever-present infrared light around us that is virtually impossible to see with the naked eye. In scientific terms\, visible light that reflects all the colors that we can see is measured between wavelengths of 400-700 nanometers (nm)\, while “near IR” or infrared is measured between 700-1\,000 nm.\nHowever\, infrared light can be felt as heat. And since heat can be transferred\, elements like colors\, textures\, the sky\, trees\, and even human subjects will reflect and radiate infrared light differently as opposed to visible light. Green trees\, plants\, and clouds that reflect the most infrared light will look whiter while blue skies that don’t reflect IR will translate into black areas. Infrared shooters typically use filters with varying color strengths or photo editing programs to create even more unique (albeit slightly eerie) photographic effects. \nThis type of photography dates back to the age of film photography. In fact\, it became so popular that Jimi Hendrix\, Donovan\, and Frank Zappa’s album covers in the ‘60s were inspired by the psychedelic and artistic results of IR photography. However\, shooting infrared back then was a lot more complicated (and expensive) compared to today\, mainly due to film’s unpredictability and the expense that came with specialized film rolls. \nThrough our journey in life there is struggle and reward. I try to make sense of it all by taking photos. I’m fascinated by the people and places I encounter along my journey and try to document it in interesting ways.\nI began my photo journey in Vietnam over fifty years ago and have been documenting my journey ever since. I studied photojournalism at Arizona State University and worked for various newspapers and magazines.\nI recently became interested in Infrared Photograph in an effort to try something different and I was fascinated by the work of my colleagues who were exploring the world of IR. It brings an entirely new element to my work that expands my view of an already amazing world.

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.
