As a fat-bodied person, I am told that I must operate under shame and shrink myself as much as possible. When I stood in front of my lens nude for the first time, it created a radical change in self-perception. I realized that for two decades I had apologized for my body. As my work began to develop, I photographed with one question in mind, “What does being in this body feel like?” I began to answer by taking up space, and making a body commonly seen as undesirable project power through vulnerability. It is essential to consider not just who is allowed to be photographed but how. Images play a pivotal role in forming our belief system and engrain biases awaiting confrontation. The first place I could start was by drawing a line of fear out in front of myself and ever so slowly, over the last ten years of my work, step over each one. The images serve as an open ended and complicated relationship built on the notion that there is no way to grow into someone I can love through hate.
Brittney Cathey-Adams is a photographic artist currently located in Portland, OR. Her work includes themes of body politics, and fat representation that interrogates the histories of the male gaze and self-portraiture. Her work has been on exhibit throughout institutions such as the de Young Museum in San Francisco, CA, Center for Photographic Art in Carmel, CA and Colorado Photographic Arts Center in Denver, CO. Most recently, she was part of the 2019 Curatorial Prize at Blue Sky Gallery in Portland, OR. With a strong passion for photography and art education Cathey-Adams dedicates herself to image making as well as sharing visual language through teaching at Portland Community College and Clackamas Community College.

New York City, 1932. The country is in the throes of the Great Depression. The previous decade’s boom of Italian, Irish, and Jewish immigrants has led to unprecedented urban expansion where steelworkers risk life and limb building skyscrapers. Part of this incredible feat is captured on film in the famous photograph “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper”.
Film maker Seán Ó Cualáin traces the history of this iconic photograph, showing 11 construction workers eating lunch while sitting on an I-beam over Manhattan. The identities of these 11 men and of the photographer has remained a mystery for 80 years.
This extraordinary documentary, narrated by Irish actress Fionnula Flanagan, Speaks to the resiliency of the immigrant experience in America.

Blue Sky is pleased to present the first west coast exhibition of Brave, Beautiful Outlaws, which features thirty prints by Donna Gottschalk from her archive spanning over forty years. Working in New York. Washington, D.C., and San Francisco from the 1960s into the 1990s, Gottschalk photographed herself along with her family, friends, lovers, and activists in the queer communities there. Frustrated that lesbian bars—primarily run by the mafia and often raided by police—provided one of the only social spaces for meeting other gay women in New York at the time, she joined the Gay Liberation Front in 1968, and later the Radicalesbians. Through these activist groups she met lesbian artists JEB (Joan E. Biren), Flavia Rando, and others, and later moved to California to join lesbian-separatist communities. These intimate portraits of the individuals Gottschalk has known and loved, including photographs of her sibling Myla who transitioned later in life, remained mostly unseen until her 2018 exhibition at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art, which was instigated by JEB and curated by Deborah Bright.
Donna Gottschalk is an American photographer who grew up on New York’s Lower East Side in low-income tenement housing, where she lived with her mother and three siblings. She began photographing at the age of seventeen and later studied art at Cooper Union in the 1960s. When she was eighteen, Gottschalk joined the Gay Liberation Front and later joined the Radicalesbians, and she participated in many political actions. Later in life, she moved to Connecticut to open a photo lab with her partner, Tony, which they ran for thirty-eight years. Brave, Beautiful Outlaws was first exhibited in 2018 at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in New York and the work has been featured in the New York Times, Wallpaper*, and Hyperallergic, among many other publications. Now in her seventies, Gottschalk lives on a small farm in rural Vermont.

“Jewish thought suggests that the memory of an action is as primary as the action itself. This is to say that when my hand is wounded, I remember other hands. I trace ache back to other aches—when my mother grabbed my wrist too hard pulling me across the intersection, when my great-grandmother’s fingers went numb on the ship headed towards Cuba fleeing the Nazis, when Miriam’s palms enduringly poured water for the Hebrews through their biblical desert journey—this is how the Jew is able to fathom an ache.”
In Kavana, Hannah Altman explores her Jewish heritage and intergenerational memory, using photography to remember and reinterpret stories that have been passed down by the women in her family and generated through ritual and folklore. For the artist, her photographs “are positioning themselves in the past as memories, in the present as stories being told, and in the future as rituals to interpret and repeat.”
Hannah Altman is a Jewish-American artist from New Jersey. Her work interprets relationships between body, interiority, feminine performance, and lineage, exploring the structures that perpetuate them using photographic-based media. She has recently exhibited at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, Junior High Gallery in Los Angeles, and the University of Passau in Germany. Her work has been published in the Carnegie Museum of Art Storyboard, Vanity Fair, Huffington Post, and i-D. She has delivered lectures on her work and research across the country, including at Yale University, the Society for Photographic Education’s Southeast Conference, and Six x Ate artist lecture series. She is an MFA candidate at Virginia Commonwealth University and the 2019 recipient of the Bertha Anolic Israel Travel Award

Ashland, Oregon photographer, John Wimberley notes, “The northwestern edge of the Great Basin extends into southeastern Oregon. The very beautiful and remote region that I call Lone Grave Butte is perhaps unique in that it had a much higher population density when the abundant rock art was made than at present. At the time of first Euro-American contact it was populated by Northern Paiute people. But a wide diversity of rock art styles supports ethnographic and other evidence that the
place was a summer plant and root gathering resource for various peoples from the surrounding region.
“The rock art depicted in this exhibition is situated along east-facing, lichen covered basalt rims. During the afternoons the rims are in shade. Shiny surfaces reflect the blue northeast sky, and matte surfaces are often tinted by golden, smoky light from forest fires. They are situated in an exquisite, minimalist high-desert landscape that once was forested. The land misses those people who were present for more than 13,000 years. This exhibition is a tribute to them.”
John Wimberley was born in Bermuda during 1945. In 1966, he began photographing while working on the flight deck of a US Navy aircraft carrier. Since then, his photographs have appeared in nearly one hundred exhibitions, multiple international publications, and are found in many hundreds of public and private collections around the world. He has taught many workshops, primarily his “Sight & Insight” program which was extremely popular.
In 2010, Wimberley received the Oliver Award from the American Rock Art Research Association for his self-published book of American Indian petroglyphs titled Evidence of Magic. During 2011, Wimberley was one of eight photographers invited to participate in the first-ever exhibition of American landscape photography in
Moscow, Russia. At present, Wimberley has given up teaching and continues to devote his time to photography.

The prints in this show combine two of my favorite passions – photography and razor clamming. Armed with a gun in one hand (albeit a clam gun) and a Nikon D850 camera in the other, I’ve spent countless hours on Oregon’s Clatsop Spit documenting the antics of clam diggers over the past several years. I’m often torn between getting my limit of clams or taking pictures. On good days – I get both. Ultimately, I intend to publish a fine art photography book on razor clamming that will include many of the images in this show.
My background as a photographer spans more than 50 years. Classically trained under Bernie Freemesser at the University of Oregon in the 1960s, I then spent several years in the Monterey Peninsula where my work was influenced by Brett Weston, Wynn Bullock, and Ansel Adams. In 1972 I worked as a special assistant to Ansel Adams and later that year returned to Oregon where I was employed as a commercial photographer and photography instructor.
Though my professional career was subsequently in the risk management sector, I’ve continued my lifelong interest in photography. I’m a founding member of f/8 (a fine art photography group based in Portland), a member of Portland Photographers Forum, a supporting member of LightBox Photographic Gallery in Astoria, and a member of Blue Sky Gallery in Portland. My work has been published and exhibited in multiple regional venues.

Join Ebenezer for a discussion on his most current work from the series, “As I Am”, a self-portrait series inspired by his personal journey of coming out as a trans man, on view at Paragon Arts Gallery for the month of January. Ebenezer will talk about his use of photography as a way to question and unravel an imposed binary gender system while seeking new possibilities of existence through dynamic contradiction. He will share how he used objects, color, posture, and symbols as a means to create photographs that honor the full existence of his trans identity.
I am a gender non-conforming trans man, mother, and husband living in Portland, Oregon. I view the craft of photography as a way to claim and redefine the lens through which I see the world and the world sees me. Photography is my tool to reveal my stories in counterbalance to the stories attached to me by external cultural forces. My portraits carry my artistic perspective on my trans experience. I celebrate and claim my own narrative. I extend my gratitude to the spaces that have highlighted my work through solo shows in Astoria and Portland, including Paragon Art Gallery and Blue Sky Gallery, as well as publication in Black.

Ken Robinson is a former professor of biology from Purdue University who moved to Eugene upon retirement. In his research as a cell and developmental biologist, a major tool was photography, generally through the lens of microscope, so that the responses of cells to various perturbations could be recorded and analyzed.
It was natural, then, that in retirement he extended his experience in photography to the macroscopic world. He quickly formed a love for eastern Oregon and its high desert country. Much of his work consists of landscapes from there, as well as from southern Utah, Colorado and New Mexico.
In addition to landscapes, he also photographs wildlife, including birds, bees, spiders, turtles and dragonflies. He tries to show these creatures in interesting scenes in their natural context.
He also has an interest in astronomy and uses ordinary camera lenses to photograph the night sky. Included in these are photographs of eclipses, both lunar and solar, the Milky Way, meteors and the transits of Venus and Mercury across the sun.

“One of the rare art-world bio-docs that delivers the sensation of seeing a story unfold dramatically on screen”
-The Hollywood Reporter
Born January 14, 1928, Garry Winogrand was destined to be a renowned poet of photography and American Life. Having grown up in the Bronx with his sister and immigrant parents, He eventually brought his own unique vision to the genre of street photography. According to PBS American Masters he was “ ……the epic storyteller in pictures who harnessed the serendipity of the streets to capture the American 1960s-70s. His ‘snapshot aesthetic’ is now the universal language of contemporary image making.” Following an early career in freelance photojournalism and advertising, his focus turned to a spontaneous capturing of U.S. life and revealed much of its social concerns in the mid-20th century. At one point in the mid ‘70s his portrayal of women caused a stir by his use of candid and rather questionable positions. Some critics at the time considered this work “vulgar”. However, it didn’t seem to be a concern for him. Frank Van Riper of the Washington Post described him as “one of the greatest documentary photographers of his era” but added that he was “a blunt-spoken, sweet-natured native New Yorker, who had the voice of a Bronx cabbie and the intensity of a pig hunting truffles.” His second wife was even more specific: “….a flippant, irresponsible, nonsensical attitude….”
At the time of his death in March of 1984 at the age of 56, Winogrand had 2500 rolls of undeveloped film, 6500 rolls of developed but not proofed exposures, and about 3000 rolls only realized as far as contact sheets being made. According to curator Tudy Wilner Stack, his first wife claimed that “being married to Garry was like being married to a lens….. He was an obsessive picture-taking machine.”
He has received the following awards:
1964,1969 & 1979: Guggenheim Fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation
1975: Fellowship from the Nationall Endowment for the Arts

San Francisco, CA photographer, Martin Venezky notes, “The New Machinery is a form of photographic science fiction. The work references the barely visible mechanisms that surround our everyday life — sometimes as camouflaged presence, often as digital software. Through this work I provide seductive and sinister physicality to the networks that charm their way into our lives while surveilling our movements and collecting our data. As we look at them, they are most certainly looking back at us.
“These images are pieced together from material and light studies that I perform on scavenged tools, toys, materials and appliances which I have disassembled. I am interested in how the camera crunches these small parts down further into gestures of light and structure. This generative process breaks apart the complicated act of seeing into small units — building blocks with which I construct large scale physical compositions.
“Perhaps these machines have quietly evolved from mountains of discarded hardware. In the same way, the image arises slowly as parts find each other and form relationships—an additive, analog process that creates logic and narrative from the inside out. As a final crucial step, I use the physical construction as a map to rebuild the image in a digital format, crossing media once again to retranslate the image into a flattened, stylized product.
“I’ve labeled these mysterious contraptions The New Machinery as a nod towards the recycled materials and the machine-like logic in their creation and perception. Cobbled together from discarded utilitarian parts, their presence invites inspection while their function remains inscrutable.”
Martin Venezky is an artist based in San Francisco, California. Throughout his career as a graphic designer, Venezky has maintained a deep interest in photographic process and abstraction. For the past several years, he has created new bodies of work in photography and photographic installation.
Venezky has an undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College and an MFA in Design from Cranbrook Academy of Art. He has taught at RISD and CalArts and, for over 25 years, at California College of the Arts in San Francisco, where he is currently Professor in the Graduate Design Program. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art honored Venezky with a 2001 solo exhibition, and his monograph, It Is Beautiful…Then Gone, was published by Princeton Architectural Press. In 2015 Venezky was inducted into the esteemed Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI). In 2018, San Francisco’s Letterform Archive acquired an extensive collection of his work, studies and process for their permanent collection.

Platforms is a series by Natan Dvir focused on New York City’s unique underground architecture and the people who temporarily pass through it. The subway platforms Dvir photographs from across the tracks are reminiscent of filmstrips, with subway columns dividing the space into multiple narratives. Through this series, the artist reflects upon detachment, separation, personal space, individualism, loneliness, and momentary connections in the underground landscape of an urban metropolis.
Natan Dvir received his MFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts and is an adjunct faculty member at the International Center of Photography. Based in New York City, he photographs around the world and is represented by Polaris Images photo agency and Anastasia Photo gallery. Dvir has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and internationally, including at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Houston Center for Photography, Portland Art Museum, Blue Sky Gallery, Museum of Contemporary Art (Cleveland), Southeast Museum of Photography (Daytona), International Center of Photography, Anastasia Photo Gallery, Museo de Antioquia (Medellin), Festival de la Luz (Buenos Aires), Christie’s (London), and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Dvir’s photography has been published in The New York Times, Newsweek, Wall Street Journal, Der Spiegel, Stern, Focus, The Times, Paris Match, Le Monde, and Le Figaro, among others.

“The Land Remembers” features 35 black-and-white infrared photographs by Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman that revisit the terrain of Southern Oregon’s Rogue River Wars of 1851-56.
Bergeman said the goal of his two-year project was “to bring the historic conflict back into our collective consciousness through a reflective study of the landscapes that played host to those tragic events over 160 years ago.”
Despite being one of the bloodiest and longest-running of Oregon’s Indian conflicts, the Rogue River Wars are largely forgotten today. Fighting between local tribes and incoming miners and settlers festered and flared up multiple times between 1851 and 1854 before erupting into all-out war involving the U.S. Army in 1855-56. It ended with the forced removal of the Rogue Valley and the South Coast tribes to reservations at Siletz and Grand Ronde in what descendants today memorialize as Oregon’s own “Trail of Tears.”
During the reception on Feb. 7, Grand Ronde tribal member Joseph Ham will perform a song he’s written about the wars.
An Oregonian since 1976, Bergeman is a retired instructor of journalism and photography at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany. The 70-year-old photographer has been exhibiting his work throughout the since the 1980s. Over the past two decades he has focused primarily on portraying forgotten Northwest histories through photographs of what’s been left behind.

“Any form of photography is of interest to me, but I especially like candid shots of people, particularly in black and white. People’s moods and actions are best captured when they are unaware and they are best amplified when color is removed and just the basics remain. This collection demonstrates that. As you look at the images, put yourself in their place and feel what they feel. Elation, trepidation, concentration, reflection – all are there and more.” -Bill Haynes
“Photography has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” – Elliot Erwitt

Someday This Will All Be Gone by Portland photographer Mike Vos is a visual narrative of a world without humans and a focus on the regrowth of wildlife. Shot entirely on a 4×5 film camera built in 1916, this series utilizes in-camera double exposures to tell a story of reclamation and redemption amidst a crumbling industrial landscape. Drawing from literary themes such as magical realism, subtle horror and alternate history, this series is a captivating look at the ecological footprint that humans leave behind.

The twenty-one women photographed by Sara Bennett in The Bedroom Project were all convicted of serious crimes— mostly homicide—and spent fourteen to thirty-seven years in a maximum-security prison. By the time they came up for parole they were all profoundly changed, yet most of them were repeatedly denied release because of the crimes they had committed decades earlier.
Bennett writes, “these women were open and trusting enough to allow me into their most private spaces—their bedrooms—and to share the comments that accompany the photos. Like me, they hope this work will shed light on the pointlessness of extremely long sentences and arbitrary parole denials, and thus help their friends still in prison: women (and men) like them who deserve a chance at freedom.”
The Bedroom Project is the second in the Life After Life in Prison series. It has been featured at The FENCE 2018, Photoville 2018, the 10th International Organ Vida Photography Festival, the 2018 Indian Photography Festival, and PDN’s Photo of the Day, among others. This project was also a Top 50 finalist in the 2018 Critical Mass competition.
Sara Bennett has been a public defender specializing in domestic violence and the wrongly convicted. She draws attention to the problems of mass incarceration through her photographs of women who have served decades in prison. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, PBS News Hour/Art Beat, PDN Photo of the Day, and the Marshall Project, and has exhibited in a variety of venues including universities, galleries, the courthouse at 60 Center Street, the Legislative Building in Albany, and the Museum at the Eastern Correctional Facility in Philadelphia.

LightBox Photographic Gallery opens “The Photographic Nude 2020” with an opening artists’ reception on Saturday, February 8th from 5-8 p.m. This is the ninth year of the annual international juried exhibit, a collection of photographic prints exploring the artistic and creative view of the body and its form, dedicated to the creative spirit of photographer Ruth Bernhard.
LightBox established “The Photographic Nude“ series in 2011to gain an understanding of the nude historically in the photographic medium. The show features many talented practitioners of the photographic fine art nude from around the world. With 52 images selected for the exhibit from 42 photographers, this year LightBox is pleased to have Douglas Beasley as Juror for the Exhibit.
Douglas Beasley is owner and publisher of SHOTS Magazine, a quarterly journal of eclectic black & white photography now in its’ 35th year of publication. Doug’s personal vision explores the spiritual aspects of people and place and is concerned with how the sacred is recognized and expressed in everyday life. His work has been exhibited and published worldwide. Having been a fine-art photographer and photo workshop instructor for many years.
“I want to see photographs that have a strong, honest direct connection to their subject or photos with a sense of mystery or meaning. A compelling image may ask more questions than it answers. There should be an awareness how of the entire frame is utilized not just subject and background. I react to a personal point of view and want to feel the photographer’s presence in the process rather than submitting what they think will be liked by me or others. And even better if something of the maker is revealed as well as the subject.”
Douglas Beasley will give a Juror’s talk ‘Sacredness & Sexuality in the Figure in Landscape’ at 4 pm on Saturday February 8th immediately before the opening reception. Please contact the gallery if you would like a seat.

Law exhibit gives viewers an ultra-real look at nature
An exhibit of 28 surreal and abstract photographs by Pacific Northwest photographer Charles H. Jones is now on view at the UO School of Law.
“Plant Abstractions” takes viewers on a vibrant journey through the looking glass. Jones’ photography of nature is done under intensive magnifications where he finds the color, shape and texture of each flower and plant. Influenced by Georgia O’Keeffe and Dr. Seuss, viewers are sure to have a sensory experience.
A retired mathematician, with a career in the aerospace industry, Jones has always been a plant enthusiast. “My sense of awe is always enhanced when I understand the science involved behind an experience,” Jones said. “I hope my photos provide this same sense of awe in others.”
The images are on display at the Oregon Law Gallery on the second floor of the Knight Law Center through May 20 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
A reception with the photographer is scheduled for Thursday, February 13, from 5-6:30 pm.

Photography has been and continues to be my best teacher. From the first time I read Minor White’s concept of and belief in “Photography as a way of knowing,” it struck me as true to my interest in being a picture maker. I wanted to become a stronger perceiver of the world, all worlds, I walked through. Our world is an amazing place and there is nothing I enjoy more than wandering through it with my eyes wide open and attentive to what is revealed to me. As my pictures get better, I figure I must be learning something. My talk will look at a portion of my journey to this point in time.
Rich Rollins became seriously interested in photography in high school. He has a BS in Education from the University of Vermont, during which he spent a semester at Apeiron Workshops In Photography located in Millerton, New York, and later went on to receive an MFA in Photography from Arizona State University. He is married to photographer Barbara Gilson and they have two children, Emma and Anna. He taught photography at Marylhurst University for 28 years, where he was the inaugural recipient of the Excellence in Teaching Award. While at Marylhurst, he was on the exhibition committee at Blue Sky Gallery and a participant in the Portland Grid Project. His most recent show was titled Libra at Blue Sky in October 2016.

free admission
Please join us to celebrate the publication of Lake Lahontan/Lake Bonneville, a collection of extraordinary aerial images by photographer Michael Light, featuring essays by William Fox, Charles Hood, and Leah Ollman, recently released by Radius Books of Santa Fe.
Michael Light will speak about and show work from the new book; writers William Fox and Charles Hood will respond to Light’s work, as well as giving brief presentations about new books of their own, on such subjects as the artist Michael Heizer, and the mammals and birds of California.
Lake Lahontan/Lake Bonneville is the fourth volume in Light’s aerial survey, Some Dry Space: An Inhabited West, which “journeys into the vast geological space and time of the Great Basin — the heart of a storied national ‘void’ that is both actual and psychological.”
Lake Lahontan/Lake Bonneville exists both as a dos-a-dos (back-to-back) trade book, and as a pair of very large scale (37 x 45 inch) artist’s books, bound by hand in editions of ten copies. These two artist’s books will also be on display at Passages Bookshop from February 22 through March 28.
PARTICIPANT BIOS
Michael Light is a San Francisco–based photographer focused on the environment and how contemporary American culture relates to it. He has exhibited extensively worldwide, and his work has been collected by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Getty Research Institute, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, among others. For the last sixteen years, Light has aerially photographed over settled and unsettled areas of American space, pursuing themes of mapping, vertigo, human impact on the land, and various aspects of geologic time and the sublime. A private pilot and Guggenheim Fellow, he is currently working on an extended aerial survey of arid America titled Some Dry Space: An Inhabited West, published by Radius Books; the first three volumes in the series were Bingham Mine/Garfield Stack (2009), LA Day/LA Night (2011), and Lake Las Vegas/Black Mountain (2014). Light is also widely known for his archival works Full Moon (1999) and 100 Suns (2003).
The writings of William L. Fox constitute a sustained inquiry into how human cognition transforms land into landscape. His numerous nonfiction books rely upon fieldwork with artists and scientists in extreme environments to provide the narratives through which he conducts his investigations. Last year Monacelli Press published Fox’s Michael Heizer: The Once and Future Monuments, the most comprehensive account of Heizer’s work to appear to date. He also serves as the Director of the Center for Art + Environment at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno. Fox has authored essays for numerous exhibition catalogs and artists’ monographs, and has been awarded fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Poet and naturalist Charles Hood has been a dish washer, a ski instructor, a birding guide in Africa, and a Research Fellow with the Center for Art + Environment at the Nevada Museum of Art. His recent books include Mouth, Partially Excited States, and A Californian’s Guide to the Birds Among Us. He lives and teaches in the Mojave Desert.

Anthropocene: The Human Epoch is a cinematic meditation on humanity’s massive reengineering of the planet. This film follows the research of an international body of scientists, the Anthropocene Working Group, who, after nearly 10 years of research, are arguing that the Holocene Epoch gave way to the Anthropocene Epoch in the mid-twentieth century, because of profound and lasting human changes to the Earth.
From concrete seawalls in China that now cover 60% of the mainland coast, to the biggest terrestrial machines ever built in German, to psychedelic potash mines in Russia’s Ural Mountains, to metal festivals in the closed city of Norilsk, to the devastated Great Barrier Reef in Australia and surreal lithium evaporation ponds in the Atacama desert, the filmmakers have traversed the globe using high end production values and state of the art camera techniques to document evidence and experience of human planetary domination.
At the intersection of art and science, Anthropocene: The Human Epoch witnesses, in an experiential and non-didactic sense, a critical moment in geological history — bringing a provocative and unforgettable experience of our species’ breadth and impact.
