Portland artist and photographer Larry Cwik presents a 40 year retrospective of work from his project The Visitor, Walking 1000 Miles through Mexico, beginning on September 16, 2022 at the Center Gallery of the Multnomah Arts Center, Portland.
This will be Cwik’s first solo exhibit in six years. The works are large-scale color prints from Cwik’s longest project, in which he has visited all regions of Mexico to photograph, allowing his unconscious to dictate where and when he photographs in a city. Cwik has visited a different Mexican city each year to photograph, spending a cumulative total of six months in Mexico, walking more than 1000 miles in the process.
The opening reception will be on Saturday, September 17, 2022 from 1 – 3 pm, with refreshments, the premier of a new short film by Cwik, a book signing, and a poetry reading by Portland poet Walt Curtis. Curtis has read his work with William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Ken Kesey, Timothy Leary, and William Stafford, taught at Portland Community College, and published widely, including in Atlantic Monthly. Curtis’ novella Mala Noche was the subject of film-maker Gus Van Sant’s feature film. Curtis, co-founder of the Oregon Cultural Heritage Commission, has received the Stewart H. Holbrook Literary Legacy Award and hosted a poetry program for more than 45 years on KBOO FM.
Cwik’s work has been shown widely for almost 40 years and is included in the collections of the Portland Art Museum, Regional Arts and Culture Commission, and Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, and been published in journals and magazines in Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Beijing, New York, Portland, and Seattle. Cwik’s book Images from the Eighties was published by Blue Sky Books in 2016. His films are represented by the Film-Maker’s Cooperative, New York.
Opening reception and the exhibit are both free and open to the public. Funding for the project includes support from both the Oregon Arts Commission and the Ford Family Foundation.

We often think about war and its aftermath, as though there were a clear demarcation between the two. My projects have been driven by a desire to illuminate the darkness and give voice to the voiceless. I asked participants to let me photograph those few items that they were able carry with them on their long and dangerous journey to America. I then asked 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 to much more than the object. The participants’ additions give voice to the universal plight of all refugees. Ordinary objects become sacred objects. The luminous inner life of these ordinary things is a testament to the unspeakable anguish of a life left forever behind.
-Jim Lommasson, jim@lommassonpictures.com
Participants 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.

And lastly opening on September 10th is “They Named our City for Him”, an exhibit by Chris Villiers. This series of photographs from Chief Sealth’s gravesite behind the white clapboard church of St. Peter Catholic Mission, is printed in the historic Kallitype process.
“I quickly discovered that the way I painted the photosensitive chemicals on cotton paper recreated all the emotions I felt when looking in my camera’s viewfinder. “In these platinum-toned Kallitype prints, I have tried to respect the fact that Native Americans consider their ancestors’ graves sacred while also pointing out how, in my culture, few think twice about wandering away from the tombs of our forefathers.” – Chris Villiers.
An Artist Reception will be held for Chris Villiers two weeks after the exhibit opening on Saturday, September 24, from 1 – 3pm.

Open Mon-Fri 8-5pm
In an exhibit that combines the personal and the cultural, Corvallis artist Julianna Souther explores her Korean heritage and what it means to be “other” in America through a collection of portraits and other artwork now on view at the South Santiam Hall Gallery on Linn-Benton Community College’s Albany campus, 6500 Pacific Blvd. SW, through Oct. 28, 2022.
A reception and gallery talk will be held Thursday, Oct. 13 in the gallery from 5:30 to 7pm.
“Han: the Legacy of a Divided Society” recounts her South Korean identity by examining both historical events and issues persisting today. Also featured are 14 portraits of young people, including those in the LGBTQIA community, who describe their experiences with discrimination. Included in the show are contemporary and historical photographs, cyanotypes, a video, and a hand-made accordion-style photo book.
Souther explained that “Han” is an complex Korean concept that reflects “the intense emotion of hatred or resentment that is part of every Korean person” because of the nation’s history.
“The history of the people and the country of Korea includes unimaginable hardships. including the Japanese Occupation, the Korean War, and slavery,” she said. “Han provides a unique channel for describing the consequent feelings, and is perceived to be an essential part of the Korean identity.”
Born in 1998 in Seoul, South Korea, Souther was adopted into an American family at a young age. She graduated from Oregon State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography in December 2021. Since “coming out of the fog,” which is how she describes the realization of the adoptee reality, Souther has created photographic works documenting both the adoptee and Asian American diasporas.
She was the recipient of OSU’s Kelsi Rae Ford Memorial Scholarship for two years, and this year was awarded the College of Liberal Arts’ Outstanding Senior Award by Oregon State. Last fall, she presented her thesis show, “Breaking Misconceptions”, at the Little Gallery at OSU.

“Tidewaters” is a series of platinum/palladium prints depicting scenes along Oregon’s major estuaries captured by Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman in the 1990s and early 2000s. The exhibit includes maps and text panels recalling the history of Native American life and early Euro-American settlement along the tidewater regions.
Using 8×10” and 5×7” cameras, Bergeman spent about 10 years exploring the lower reaches of the Columbia, Yaquina, Alsea, Siuslaw and other navigable rivers draining the Oregon Coast Range, looking for scenes that reflect the region’s early history.
Each of the river systems was home to its own distinct Native American population that was eventually disrupted in the 1800s by increasing encroachment by Euro-Americans in pursuit of the region’s fishery and forestry resources. For a time, beginning in 1855, the entire Central Coast–over one million acres from Cape Lookout to the Oregon Dunes–was a Congressionally designated Indian Reservation, but it was gradually chipped away until all that remained was the small present day tract at Siletz.
During that time new towns slowly began to take shape near the mouths of the rivers; some flourished while others disappeared altogether. Among the so-called “lost cities” were Bayocean, a Tillamook Bay resort once billed as the “Atlantic City of the West,” and Yaquina City, the ill-fated “San Francisco of the Oregon Territory.”
In keeping with the historical nature of the images, Bergeman printed them in the traditional platinum process, which dates back to the early years of photography in the 19th century and is known for its permanence and long tonal range.
A book on the exhibit that expands upon the show will be available in the museum bookstore, along with digital reprints from the show.

Aside from the impact of Covid in 2020, early 2020 was particularly traumatic for me, with overwhelming feelings of loss. I took solace in taking pictures, but most taken during that time were ignored and overlooked. I only recently started to revisit my work of that period, and was particularly struck with those photographs from February 9th and April 26th.
With one exception, this is the first time these black and white infrared photos have been exhibited. Locations from February 9th include Junction City, Harrisburg, Finley Reserve, and Benton County. Images taken on April 26th are from the Middle Fork, Willamette area.
Linda Devenow was born in Detroit, Michigan and moved to Eugene, Oregon in 2002. She returned to her great passion photography in 2018, after attending an exhibit of infrared photographs. Her portfolio covers landscape, portraiture, and nature images, with emphasis on black and white and color infrared.

An exhibit of photographs that explore the landscapes of Southern Oregon’s 1850s Rogue River Indian Wars will be on display at The Art Gallery at Umpqua Community College Sept. 27 to Oct. 26.
Titled “The Land Remembers,” the exhibit features more than 20 black-and-white infrared prints by Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman, along with his research into one of the least remembered and yet bloodiest Indian conflicts in the Oregon Territory.
Bergeman said the goal of his project was “to bring the largely forgotten war back into our collective consciousness through a reflective study of the landscapes that played host to those tragic events.”
The various tribes who populated the southwest corner of what is now Oregon saw their homelands suddenly invaded in 1850 following passage of the Oregon Donation Land Claim Act and the nearly simultaneous discovery of gold in the region. Settlers and miners streamed in, leading to conflict with local tribes. Skirmishes flared up multiple times between 1851 and 1854, eventually erupting into all-out war involving the U.S. Army. It ended with the forced removal of the Rogue Valley and South Coast tribes to reservations at Siletz and Grand Ronde in 1856 in what descendants today memorialize as Oregon’s own “Trail of Tears.”
An Oregonian since 1976, Bergeman is a retired instructor of journalism and photography at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany. The 73-year-old photographer has been exhibiting his work throughout the Northwest 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. His portfolios can be seen at richbergeman.zenfolio.com, and in book form at blurb.com

Grounded Glass takes as its subject a Sitka spruce swamp and the muddy matter in its tidal flow. These close views of the swamp through mud-caked glass plates challenge the mythology of landscape hierarchy, both in terms of beauty and value; and raise mud to another level. Our mark-making on the murky glass borrows from the cliché verre process to create windows through which elements of the landscape appear in varying degrees of clarity. In dialogue with Floodplain II, which explores urban wetlands impacted by industry, Grounded Glass focuses on a restored swamp after 150 years as rural farmland. The project is a continuation of Palūs, a meditation on this same swamp near the mouth of the Columbia River. Through constructions, photography, and time-based installations, Palūs observes the tidal wetland’s liquid respiration as the waters rise and fall each day.
– Anna Daedalus & Kerry Davis
Floodplain II is a continued exploration of the Columbia Slough, an engineered remnant of the shallow streams that once braided the land along the Columbia River as it flows past Portland. Once a highly productive habitat, it was drained and developed, reflecting our historic belief that wetlands were places of disease and pestilence, and that economic activity gave it actual value. Despite a century of industrial waste and runoff, many creatures that depend on wetland habitat have somehow survived. More recently, reflecting our shifting awareness, the Slough has seen some efforts at restoration. Given time and space, nature reasserts itself.
Open Channels, our collaborative exhibit, challenges historical perspectives and asks a provocative question: how do we revitalize a wetland, or any damaged habitat, when we are all too often still engaged in the same activities that diminished it? How do we remake our economic life into something not hostile, but rather sympathetic to the environment, to our mutual benefit?

A retrospective exhibit of Paul Neevel’s 60 years as a photographer, including images from 1962 to 2022.
Paul Neevel grew up in International Falls, Minnesota, the “Icebox of the Nation,” through grade school, then completed high school in his father’s somewhat warmer home town, Baldwin, Wisconsin. Paul’s grandfather, Ed Neevel, was the “town photographer” in Baldwin for decades after opening a studio there in 1895.
Paul developed his own interest in photography while he was a student at the University of Wisconsin, and visited the Madison Public Library on a regular basis to read books on photography. He bought his first camera, along with darkroom gear, shortly after graduating in 1962 with a degree in meteorology. While continuing to work on a master’s degree, he began to exhibit and sell his photographs.
His first exhibit in Eugene was a one-person show at the Gross Gallery, on 13th near the University campus, in 1968. He still lived in Madison and didn’t see the show in person, but he moved to Eugene two years later to study at the University of Oregon, one of the few schools to offer a degree in photography at the time. While studying for degrees in journalism and fine arts, he was a teaching fellow for Bernie Freemesser, UO professor of photography, who established the Photography at Oregon Gallery in the UO Museum along with his students in 1966.
During his first 20 years in Eugene, Paul had a camera repair business at home. He photographed traveling art shows distributed by the Visual Arts Resources branch of the UO Museum of Art. He has since photographed artwork for many local artists and more than 150 weddings.
Paul joined the Photography at Oregon Gallery committee in the mid-1970s. He was in charge of installing the monthly exhibits for more than a decade before the gallery was eliminated by a new museum administration in 1992.
In 1989, Paul Neevel was invited to photograph and write for the Eugene Weekly (then called What’s Happening) following his 1988 Jacobs Gallery show, 40 Portraits of Artists. His Happening People column in the Weekly has profiled more than a thousand local personalities nominated by readers since it first appeared in 1996.

For over 13 years, a small group of the Pacific Northwest’s nature photographers have worked together as team Photo Cascadia. These seven photographers, all of whom have their own thriving businesses, formed the team to promote natures beauty and encourage its conservation. After successfully publishing their first book in 2020 with Portland based Timber Press called Oregon My Oregon – Land of Natural Wonders, Photo Cascadia is back covering the majestically diverse landscape of Washington State.
Washington Evergreen – Land of Natural Wonders also published by Timber Press is a collection of close to 200 photographs that showcase the beauty of Washington. From the thick rain forests of the Olympic Peninsula to the soaring peaks of Mt. Rainier, these landscapes are a testament to the diverse environments that define Washington. For Photo Cascadia’s seven photographers—Erin Babnik, Sean Bagshaw, David Cobb, Adrian Klein, Kevin McNeal, Chip Phillips, and Zach Schnepf—this is a culmination of over 15 years photographing across Washington with these environments providing a constant source of inspiration.
Beyond the beautiful photographs the foreword is from renowned lepidopterist Robert Michael Pyle, an accomplished writer, teacher and founder of the Xerces Society. He has written many books including the best seller The National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Butterflies. In 2020 the movie The Dark Divide, based on the book of the same title, was released starring David Cross as Robert Michael Pyle.
The new book is available for order now and officially released on October 25, 2022. To highlight some of the photos in their new book, Photo Cascadia will be presenting at Elliot Bay Book Company in downtown Seattle on the evening of Wednesday November 30th along with signing any purchased books. Feel free to join the event to meet Photo Cascadia and hear more about the book. The book is available for purchase online wherever books are sold and available at many physical book stores in Washington.

Boston based photographer Gonson has been “Obsessed with music from the time I was a small girl. In the mid 80’s I discovered that it was possible to get access to musicians and bands by signing on to shoot live and posed photos for magazines and newspapers. For the last half of that decade I shot hardcore and punk bands multiple times a week in clubs around the Boston area. In 1990 I went west, to Portland Oregon. While much of my work is of live music, portraits have dominated my body of work over the span of decades; from the early 80’s to present day. The result of my experiences is a collection of intimate portraits of musicians, friends and fans, both live on stage and candid. My archive includes little seen pictures of Kurt Cobain, Elliott Smith, Jane’s Addiction, Black Flag and hundreds of other punk and independent bands. My work has been published in books including Torment Saint: a Biography of Elliott Smith, Cobain Unseen and Cobain on Cobain as well as in fanzines such as xXx and Suburban Voice and many magazines, including Rolling Stone, Mojo, Q and Spin.” This show focuses on some of her NW bands collection.

Grady Tarbutton is an amateur photography who chooses most of his work from the human influenced and natural world. This show is titled “Passages: Moment by Moment.”
“Each experience we have is here for a moment. That moment contains the profound and joyful, rough and painful, effort and loss, and then becomes a memory. What was new in a moment yesterday, becomes history today. And what is new today, is history tomorrow.”
“We preserve history in what we leave behind. Buildings, graffiti, petroglyphs, highways and parks. To think that there have been hundreds, probably thousands, of human generations before ours and there will be thousands after ours. Often knowing the present, but thinking it is permanent. And it changes into something new, every moment.”
This show will present a view of present moments, experiences and memorials.

Rudi Dietrich was born in Austria and spent the WWII years near Vienna. He attended the Realgymnasium in Salzburg and later studied photography the School for Applied Arts in Innsbruck. He passed the examinations for Master Photographer and was active as a teacher and photographer in Salzburg.
He met his wife, Carol, a native Montanan, when she was studying at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. After visiting her home state, he decided, “this I have to try,” and subsequently moved there in 1964. There, he continued his education, studying cinematography and finishing a multi-disciplinary graduate program in Art, Philosophy and Literature with an emphasis on Aesthetics.
He taught at Montana State University in Bozeman from 1970 until 1998, where he was instrumental in founding what is now the School of Film and Photography as well as introducing digital and non-silver photographic processes to the curriculum there. Since his retirement, he has been actively photographing for his own pleasure.
Rudi Dietrich’s personal work deals with the intimate surroundings of his home and family ranch in Dixon. He works in color and specializes in the historical gum-dichromate process. For the last ten years, his work has been largely digital. For him, photography is a way to look more deeply into his life and life of his family. “Looking closely and with heart and eye into the world close by.”
Rudi Dietrich’s work has been shown regionally, nationally and internationally, garnering many awards as well as having been twice-published in the Swedish camera magazine, “Hasselblad Forum.”
Currently 89 years young, Rudi Dietrich continues to be active as a photographer. For him, the most important value is “friendship with the processes of exploring and a constant wonder of growing.”
Rudi Dietrich has exhibited in Eugene under the sponsorship of Photography at Oregon many times. He considers his connection with Eugene “a wonderful gift.”

Jody Miller
I have been a photographer for most of my life. The daughter of two fine artists, I grew up studying painting and drawing. My first camera, a Box Brownie, was given to me at age nine, and the love affair with photography has never ended. In 1982 my work began in earnest after attending Ansel Adams’ workshop in Carmel, California, studying with some of the great fine art photographers of our time.
For 45 years I worked in the television industry in Hollywood as a designer and animator, and my passion for photography melded beautifully with my profession. Now that I’m retired, I have the freedom to practice my art and travel, and am now able to live full time in my adopted home town of Astoria, Oregon.
I am primarily a landscape photographer; but any and all genres of fine art photography are represented in my work. I am eternally fascinated with the play of light against shadow no matter the subject matter. I especially love shooting at night, when shadows and color always delight and surprise me. I am now fortunate to be a member of a superb group of photographers, The Guild at LightBox Photographic Gallery, since 2021.
Jim Fitzgerald
My love affair with the trees and the natural world began at a young age. In my youth, family trips to Yosemite, Sequoia and the Oregon Coast helped set me on my artistic path which I follow today. I am a camera builder, educator, bookbinder and publisher and most importantly an environmentalist.
Being a west coast photographic artist, I specialize in intimate natural landscapes and the images I create are all produced with my hand built large and ultra large format cameras. Each fine art hand made print is a one-of-a-kind interpretation of the scene I have captured on my large sheet of film. I print my work exclusively in carbon transfer, a process perfected in 1864, allowing me to produce unique relief prints of exceptional depth, tone and archival permanence.
At present, my works are presented as framed prints and in 2018 I began creating and publishing my own fine press collector edition books and portfolios. These are printed entirely in carbon transfer with both images and text bound into the editions, a first of its kind in book presentation.
My prints are displayed without glass because I feel that my work is alive and needs to breathe. Furthermore, the archival qualities of my printing process means that nothing in the environment will affect the longevity of the print. Displaying the prints without glass allows the viewer to walk into my work and become one with the scene. Walk around these intimate scenes and see the subtle characteristics of a finely crafted carbon print.
Julie Moore
Julie Moore has been creating her evocative style of art for just shy of a decade. Though she has no formal training in photography, Julie has felt captivated by the visual arts throughout her life. She was first inspired to pick up a camera many years ago while visiting Ireland in the company of a shaman, and she has been photographing the beauty of her world ever since. Perhaps surprisingly, she creates her captivating art primarily with her iPhone, visualizing, creating and processing her images with the camera she carries in her pocket. She also creates some of her images with her Holga, a medium-format film camera. Julie makes many of her prints using the polymer-photogravure process. Drawn to this alternative method of printmaking, she also employs other complimentary techniques during the intaglio printing process, such as chine-collé and à la poupée. About her work, Julie has said: !My images share the way I see the world, its soft tenderness and extravagant beauty, its agonizing loss and exquisite aging. I see the overlooked aspects of life and nature. There is small and precious beauty in the unseen, a part of everyday life that can go missing because it is not prominent, yet has much to teach us.” Julie’s work has been shown in a number of juried exhibitions in various galleries across the country.
Michael Puff
Michael Puff is a retired software architect at Stanford University and a former theater set designer. He now concentrates his energy on Fine Art Photography using 19th century printing processes.
Always involved in the visual arts, Michael began by studying painting. As a young adult, he worked as a scenic painter. During his university years, while pursuing a degree in Theater Arts and Egyptian Archaeology, he designed scenery winning several San Francisco Bay Area Theater Critics awards.
His favorite subjects for photography encompass the natural world, the surreal and dancers. “I’m partial to images which are like theater, innovative, thought-provoking, and play with reality and illusion.” The captured movement created by performers forms a foundation for many of my images.
Michael has actively pursued photography as an art form since 2004. Beginning the spring of 2011, through workshops and private session, he has studied platinum/palladium printing with master printer Mark I. Nelson, creator of the Precision Digital Negatives system. Michael immediately fell in love with the hand made printing process. Additionally, he has attended workshops led by Greg Gorman, Elizabeth Opalenik, Diana Bloomfield, and Brian Taylor.
Puff’s work has been exhibited at the Ryan Gallery at Art Intersection, Gilbert,AZ; de Young Museum, San Francisco, CA; and LightBox Photographic Gallery, Astoria, OR. His work is included in the book Digital Negatives with QuadToneRIP published in 2021 by Focal Press. Puff counts Greg Gorman, Irving Penn, and Kenro Izu among his greatest artistic influences.
A current list of exhibits can be found at: http://mpuff.com/about.html
Angel O’Brien
Angel O’Brien is a poet and an experimental alt-process photographic artist based in Portland, Oregon. Her inspiration comes from the palimpsest that is life and an important part of her creative practice is wandering the streets wherever she happens to be collecting images on film of the things that catch her eye. Angel’s studio is cluttered with boxes and bags of bits and baubles that she collects on these wanderings, everything from a bent nail or fallen shopping list to a rusted brake pad and a headless barbie doll. She is constantly pulling into her work the fragments of place and time that simultaneously divulge and obscure. Her creative process is all about recognising how a time or a place intertwines with a person in a way that creates a moment, and then turning these into a visual memory.
Just after her 22nd birthday, Angel was in a terrible car accident that left her in a coma, and most of her twenties were spent recuperating. This experience of literally being broken and put back together again, of finding something worthy under the rubble can be seen as a theme in her life as an artist. Because of this, Angel has always seen potential in what others might discard. To this end, in 2007 she completed Metro’s Master Recycler program. In 2009, her now defunct restaurant, The Ladybug Organic Cafe, was chosen for the BEST Award by the City of Portland most notably for sending less garbage to the landfill in a year than the average family does in a month, despite serving 25,000 customers in that time.
Working with her hands has always come naturally to Angel, and she spent six years renovating old houses after attending architecture school at The Cooper Union in NYC. She has never stopped with house projects and is forever reusing, giving away and saving things that have more life left in them.
This passion for being creative with “waste” extends very much to her art practice. Everything from saving all the development process wastewater to be responsibly discarded by Metro to avoid its polluting our rivers to soaking paper in leftover gum emulsion to create a unique substrate upon which to make other prints. Using historical photographic processes, such as platinum-palladium, gum-bichromate and cyanotype printing methods, Angel creates the surrealist montages for which she is well known. Each of her one of a kind pieces is lovingly made by hand in her basement darkroom. Though she lives in Portland with her daughter, she has a lifelong case of wanderlust and is often found in other parts of the universe.
Rachel Wolf
Rachel Wolf is a professional photographer who specializes in camera-less photography, alternative/antique processes, and creates immersive environments through light-based installations. Growing up in Alaska, the presence and absence of light has been profound in Rachel’s life and work. The aurora borealis gave her a direct experience of light as both transcendent and embodied. Since then, light has been Rachel’s muse, and her work is devoted to exploring and expressing its multivalent qualities in the field of photography and beyond. Rachel loves to inspire others by sharing her passion for light and photography as a professor and speaker. She also believes in the power of art as a collaborative endeavour and its raising of community. She is a founding member of FO(u)RT Collective, a multi-disciplinary arts collective that creates/curates exhibitions and events. Rachel has exhibited both nationally and internationally including Germany, Hungary, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Seattle, and Portland. Her work is held in both public and private collections. Rachel earned her BA from Hampshire College and her MFA from Pacific Northwest College of Art, and can be found playing in her darkroom in Portland, OR.
“While my images are photographs, the principle method I use to create is without a camera. Camera-less photography consists of the family of grams: photograms, chemigrams, and luminograms. As my camera-less process blurs the distinctions between these grams I call my work liminography, which is an exploration of the essence of the photographic process that consists of standing at the threshold (a liminal space) and turning light into matter. By releasing our expectations of how a photograph is created and what emerges as the image, we are invited to consider what a photograph is, must or can be.”
Loren Nelson
In 1972, Loren Nelson picked up a Deardorff 4X5 view camera and began to organize the world on a four-by-five-inch piece of frosted glass. Nelson photographed with film and used a traditional darkroom to produce silver gelatin prints for over 40 years. But recently, he has incorporated a digital workflow, using 35mm digital cameras and an iPhone to more spontaneously respond to his surroundings, and printing his images with archival pigment inks on fine-art papers. Portfolios include landscapes, seascapes, botanicals, driftwood details, and “Under Wraps”, a series of plastic-wrapped buildings.
Loren Nelson’s photographs are in numerous public and private collections, including the Portland Art Museum; the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Salem, OR; and the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, Tampa, FL. He is represented by the Portland Art Museum/Rental Sales Gallery in Portland, OR, and LightBox Photographic Gallery in Astoria, OR, and has been published in View Camera, LensWork, B&W, Analog Forever, and Shots Magazines.
“If you want to learn what someone fears losing, watch what they photograph.” ~Anonymous
This quote resonates with my approach to photographing, especially in recent years, as threats to our environment are becoming more and more apparent. For many years I have been content to make carefully composed photographs that celebrate the beauty of our natural world. But lately, I feel an urgency to photograph elements of nature that are in observable danger of disappearing. Working with digital cameras has expanded my vision and inspired me to connect more intuitively to my environment. I am currently working with Willamette Partnership providing images for The Oak Accord, a voluntary conservation agreement with landowners in the Willamette Valley, and focusing on their commitment to preserving and restoring Oregon oak savannas. I am also contributing photographs for the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, for use in helping to protect and preserve our magnificent coastline for future generations.
Sam Blair
Sam Blair has a B.A. degree in English from the University of Denver, and a J.D. degree from Lewis and Clark College of Law. He was a civil litigator for 35 years, with offices in Oregon and Hawaii. When practicing, he was named one of “Americas Best Lawyers”. He also had a weekly column in Kauai’s newspaper, The Garden Isle. He has taught as an Adjunct Professor of Law at Willamette University College of Law in Salem, Or.
He is afflicted with wanderlust, and retired from practicing Law to pursue his passion of travel and fine art photography. As a self taught photographer, he has explored over 90 countries, and is the recipient of numerous photography awards. His images have been exhibited in galleries in both the U.S. and Canada. His mission is to capture “the essence of things” in other cultures, beaches, and the fascinating homo sapien.
He is also a haiku poet. His poems have been published in multiple literary anthologies and journals. He teaches haiku poetry on behalf of the Writer’s Guild of Astoria, in Astoria, Ore.
Sam is a longtime student of Zen Buddhism, and trained in the Japanese martial art of Aikido, where he earned a Black Belt. He lives in a Pine forest fronting Kyle Lake in Warrenton Or.

An exhibit of 25 recent works by Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman explores the transformative effects of infrared light on a variety of Northwest landscapes, including Oregon’s High Desert, the Cascades, the Central Coast, and the Willamette Valley.
The show gets its title, “More Than Meets the Eye,” from the fact that the infrared spectrum lies outside the normal human visible light range. Infrared cameras record vegetation and other organic objects as glowing highlights, and inorganic landscape features, like water and blue sky, as deep dark values.
“Over the past 30 years I’ve been learning how to see and express myself with a variety of different camera types and processes,” Bergeman said. “Infrared, which I took up seven years ago, is my current addiction. It has a hauntingly beautiful quality that can transform otherwise ordinary views of the land, sea and sky into something magical.”
A retired instructor of photography and journalism at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany, OR, Bergeman has been exhibiting his photography throughout the Northwest since the 1980s. 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.

Meditations is a series of pictures about experiencing and celebrating the visual language of photography. The work is focused on abstraction and uses a traditional structure of still life. The work is inspired by artistic practices such as painting and sculpture, design and architecture. Other influences come from the history of avant-garde art such as Futurism and Surrealism, Modernism and Minimalism. The philosophy of Meditations is a concept of going deeper into creativity and spiritual ritual.
Todd Johnson is a conceptual and experimental photographer living and working in Portland, Oregon. Johnson received his MFA in photography from the San Francisco Art Institute. Todd is the founder and director of Black Box Gallery.

“Femme Noir” is a reaction to how our culture represents women, both in my own experiences and especially in the media. As an artist I have always been interested in how women have been, and still are, presented in our society; often as victims, something to behold, to covet, to control, to be seen, not heard, nothing less or more than beautiful objects. This work cannibalizes ideas found in popular media/culture and refocuses them to address feminist issues and concerns. The end result is a photograph, utilizing mixed media- including collage, sculpture and light as a way to create images which can open the conversation about how women are represented and to help support and empower us all.

In 22 spectacular photographs, Ed Pabor brings us in close to two magnificent areas of our world. He explores the contrasts of two vast natural areas: Antarctic/Patagonia and the American Southwest. He prompts us to think about the beauty of each and their preservation for posterity.
Ed is an adventure photographer who has documented many natural areas, including his exhibition on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2016 at the UO Law School. He has always been fascinated by light and how it is always changing. He describes his photography as “capturing light to preserve not just a scene but a scene in time.” Ed lives in Springfield and hikes to many of his photography sites.
