SUMMARY:Bryan Andresen\, Photographs of People Simply Being Human
DESCRIPTION:Bryan Andresen\, Photographs of People Simply Being Human \nOctober 31 through January 6\, 2027\nReception with refreshments on October 31 from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. \nThe O’Brien Photo Gallery\n2833 Willamette\, Ste B.\nEugene\, OR 97405\n(541) 729-3572\nCall ahead to be sure we are open or to set special viewing times. \n  \nEvery Picture Tells a Story: Photographs of People Simply Being Human \nI am drawn to the magic of a photograph capturing a moment in a person’s life that evokes individuality\, personality\, and emotion. I strive to photograph a connection that person shares with me\, a loved animal\, or their surroundings. Is it their expression\, body position\, or hand gesture that captivates me? Does the photograph capture a moment in time that is\, or will be\, important to that person? I may photograph a person I’ve known for decades\, or perhaps known only in a brief encounter. As Kermit the Frog wisely tells us: “Life is made up meetings and partings. That is the way of it”. I value and feel honored to briefly be a part of that person’s tapestry of life. \nIn addition to close-up portraits\, I have included several “Where’s Waldo?” photos in this exhibit. The inclusion of a very small human figure is intentional. These images evoke not just the smallness of humans within a vast physical environment\, but a connection to a larger world. \nWith my camera\, I seek to capture not just an interesting image of people\, but an element of the mystery of what it means to be human. \nAdditional images of Bryan’s work may be viewed at: www.andresenphoto.com \nBorn in Portland\, raised in Junction City\, and currently living outside Eugene\, Bryan has relatively deep roots as a fifth-generation Oregonian. \nHis photographs typically are the result of an enthusiastic journey in search of unique glimpses of our world and its inhabitants. Bryan has had a life-long interest in photography; from his earliest years\, a camera has typically accompanied him on outings. \nTwo experiences in his youth had a lasting effect on him. When he was 18\, he survived a near-fatal mountaineering accident in which he fell 600 feet down rock\, snow\, and ice. Then\, while studying hummingbirds in Costa Rica during college\, he revived an unconscious\, non-breathing man who had been pulled from the ocean. These experiences had a lasting effect on him and helped form his appreciation of and veneration for human life. \nStarting in 2016\, he has described himself as a “serious amateur” photographer. He conjectures that the toxic and ugly political climate of that year stimulated in him a deep desire to bring something of worth\, meaning\, and beauty into the world. \nRetiring from medical practice in 2019\, he joined Eugene’s Photo Zone the same year. He now devotes considerable time\, passion and enthusiasm to the study and practice of photography. \n

SUMMARY:Dance Photography Playdate with Fritz Liedtke
DESCRIPTION:Dance Photography Playdate with Fritz Liedtke \nNovember 7\, 2026\, 1-5pm \nBodyVox Dance Center\n1201 NW 17th Ave\nPortland\, Oregon 97209 \nAll 4 hours + dancers + studio + Fritz for only $135 \n  \nEver wish you could just spend a few hours photographing dancers without having to find the models\, scout a location\, coordinate schedules\, or figure out all the logistics? \nThat’s exactly why I created the Dance Photography Playdate\, coming up this November. Come with your camera and gear\, bring some ideas\, and spend four hours simply making photographs with professional dancers. \nI’ll take care of the studio and dancers\, and I’ll be there if you want some guidance or another set of eyes. No lectures\, no demonstrations\, no pressure — just a chance to experiment\, have fun\, and create some great images. \nDance Photography Playdate is a four-hour creative shooting session for photographers who want to spend focused\, uninterrupted time working one-on-one with dancers\, in a beautiful studio\, creating great images. \nYou’ll have the opportunity to direct and photograph dancers 1-1\, experiment with movement\, posing\, lighting\, and timing\, and refine your own approach through hands-on experience. There’s no formal instruction or demonstrations. Instead\, you’ll have the freedom to explore your ideas\, try new techniques\, and make photographs at your own pace. \nI’ll be there throughout the session to provide guidance\, answer questions\, help troubleshoot lighting or posing\, and offer another set of eyes when you want them. The goal is to give you lots of time to shoot\, experiment\, and create rather than spend the day sitting and watching someone else photograph. \nYour registration includes: \n• Four hours of shooting time \n• Large\, beautiful shooting studio space \n• Opportunities to work one-on-one with experienced dancers \n• My guidance and oversight throughout the session \n  \nBring your camera\, lenses\, and any lighting equipment you like. Come with ideas\, or come ready to see what happens. \nThis is a chance to get out of your usual shooting routine\, work with talented performers\, and spend a few hours simply making photographs. It’ll be loads of fun. \nLimited spots available. \n  \nLearn more and register at https://www.fritzliedtke.com/dance-photo-playdate \n  \nWhen? November 7\, 2026\, 1-5pm \nWhere?
