As one of the last optical printing labs in the country\, Blue Moon Camera handles film from thousands of photographers around the globe throughout the year. Tens of thousands of images pass through the lab – some destined for the walls of a gallery\, others for an esteemed place on the refrigerator. \nRegardless of where they end up\, many of these images are so strikingly beautiful that they cannot be contained by the hands of the Blue Moon staff member who notices them\, this is how the Customer Show is born. Candidate images are selected democratically by the staff\, and after a majority vote and the photographer’s signature\, they become the images that make up the Customer Show. \nThis year’s Customer Show will take place in the following venues. \nThere will be an opening reception at all venues on Saturday\, December 7th from 7-9pm. Images selected in 2019 will hang at 45th Parallel Wines\, and other venues will host images selected and shown in previous years. \nA dance party social will follow the opening from 9pm until 11pm at 45th Parallel Wines.\n45th Parallel Wines\n8527 N Lombard\n(971) 266-0886\nOrganic Grocery and Restaurant \nAnna Bannana’s\n8716 N Lombard\n(503) 286-2030\nhttp://annabannanascafe.com \nLeisure Public House\n8002 N Lombard\n(503) 289-7606\nhttp://www.leisurepublichouse.com/ \nhttps://bluemooncamera.com/galleries/customer-shows

SUMMARY:Teresa Flowers at Teresa Flowers Photography Studio
DESCRIPTION:Teresa Flowers\, A Goddess Is Nothing Without Her Flowers \nDecember 7th – December 21st\nOpening reception:  December 7th\, 6 – 9 pm \nTeresa Flowers Photography Studio\n1472 NE Alberta St\nPortland\, OR 97211\nhttps://www.teresaflowers.com/goddess-exhibit \nWhat does spirituality mean to you? For Teresa Flowers\, it is a continuous creative journey that has led her to create her vision of God\, and she is inviting you on this journey with her show titled Goddess. By using a photography process called albumen\, she has hand-created images that go beyond what a mere photograph can share and has brought her dreams and visions into our reality. \nFlowers is one of only a handful of photographers who use the albumen process in their work. The process involves coating a piece of paper in the emulsion of egg white known as albumen and sodium or ammonium chloride\, allowing it to dry\, coating it in silver nitrate and water\, dry again\, place in a frame under a negative and place in the sun for exposure. When this process is complete\, you will see what appears to be an aged print. \nFlowers’ process is unique as she creates her prints then will add additional hand drawings as she sees fit. But the most impressive part is that her prints are 30 x 40 in size\, making an already lengthy printing process\, even more\, labor-intensive but visually rewarding. \nMedia is invited to attend her opening reception taking place on December 7th from 6 pm – 9 pm at her studio located at 1472 NE Alberta Street. \nThis show is in its beginning stages with additional ideas in the works. \nOriginally from Salt Lake City\, UT\, Flowers made a name for herself and moved to L.A. to enhance and share her skills with other artists. Her path eventually led her to Portland\, where she is embracing the life and culture of the Pacific Northwest while continuing to build awareness in the local art community. You can visit Flowers’ work and learn more about her on her website https://www.teresaflowers.com/ . \nTeresa’s¬ artwork¬ has¬ been¬ published¬ in¬ Shots¬ Fine¬ Art¬ Photography¬ Magazine\,¬ Photo¬ District¬ News\,¬ NAKID¬ Magazine¬ \, and¬ Black¬ and¬ White¬ Magazine.¬ She ¬won ¬the ¬prestigious¬ award ¬of ¬Fine¬Art ¬Photographer ¬of ¬the ¬Year¬ at¬ the¬ International¬ Photo¬ Awards¬ as ¬well¬ as¬ the¬ People’s¬ Choice ¬Award¬ in¬ Photography.¬ She¬ also¬ conducts ¬workshops¬ in¬ photography¬ and¬ mixed¬ media ¬ and¬ is¬ a¬ sought¬ after¬ freelance¬ photographer.¬ She¬ was¬ featured¬ in¬ Women’s¬ Business ¬Magazine¬ as ¬one ¬of ¬thirty¬women¬ to ¬watch ¬in ¬business.¬¬

SUMMARY:Rachel Boillot at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Boillot\, Moon Shine: Photographs of the Cumberland Plateau \nDecember 5–29\, 2019 \nFirst Thursday opening reception: December 5\, 6:00–9:00 PM\nArtist talk: Saturday\, December 7\, 3:00 PM \nBlue Sky Gallery\n122 NW 8th Avenue\nPortland\, Oregon 97209 USA\n503-225-0210\nTuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pm\nFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pm\nbluesky@blueskygallery.org\nhttp://www.blueskygallery.org/\nAll Blue Sky events and programs are free and open to the public. \nMoon Shine: Photographs of the Cumberland Plateau is a body of work inspired by the unique musical traditions of the Cumberland Plateau. This region is home to a rich storytelling heritage\, showcased in historic fiddle tunes\, balladry\, religious gospel pieces and other songs passed down as part of a formidable—but quickly disappearing—oral tradition. Rachel Boillot has channeled these traditions into a lyrical portrait of place\, and the photographs in this exhibition act as a visual score to mirror musical melody. Her work explores the relationship between what is heard and what is seen\, with a tension between mystery and revelation pervading the work. \nRachel Boillot is a photographer\, filmmaker\, and educator based in Nashville\, TN. She holds a BA in Sociology from Tufts University\, a BFA in Photography from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts\, and an MFA in Experimental and Documentary Arts from Duke University. Her work has been funded by the Annenberg Foundation (Los Angeles\, CA)\, the Riverview Foundation (Chattanooga\, TN)\, the Tennessee Arts Commission (Nashville\, TN)\, and the National Endowment for the Arts (Washington\, D.C.). Her first artist monograph\, Moon Shine: Photographs of the Cumberland Plateau\, was published by Daylight Books in April 2019. Boillot currently teaches photography at Belmont University and Middle Tennessee State University. She is a member of the team at the Kentucky Documentary Photographic Project\, and her new work is based in Kentucky.

SUMMARY:Erika Morillo at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Erika Morillo\, Umbral \nDecember 5–29\, 2019\nFirst Thursday opening reception: December 5\, 6:00–9:00 PM\nArtist talk: Thursday\, December 5\, 5:00 PM \nBlue Sky Gallery\n122 NW 8th Avenue\nPortland\, Oregon 97209 USA\n503-225-0210\nTuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pm\nFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pm\nbluesky@blueskygallery.org\nhttp://www.blueskygallery.org/\nAll Blue Sky events and programs are free and open to the public. \nUmbral\, which means “gateway” or “portal” in Spanish\, is a series by Erika Morillo focused on her young son. Through her contemplative black-and-white images and accompanying poetry\, viewers are given a glimpse of her son’s inner world\, as well as Morillo’s introspections as a single parent. \n“Becoming a single mother at a young age proved frightening to me\, and not for the obvious reasons. I felt a huge responsibility to create a nurturing childhood for him\, different from the dysfunctional one I had lived. With these images I wanted to intervene\, to somehow create a magical space that could lessen his generational baggage. With this project I aim to explore both my fantasies of what childhood should be and the freedom my son needs to live his own reality.” \nBorn and raised in the Dominican Republic\, Erika Morillo is a freelance photographer and artist based in New York City. She studied clinical psychology and sociology\, which influenced her to photograph as a way to understand her family dynamics and the social environment she inhabits. Her work focuses on the issues of family\, inner-city life and the finding of identity. Her photographs have been published and exhibited nationally and internationally. She is currently pursuing an MFA at Image Text Ithaca and lives in Manhattan with her son Amaru.

SUMMARY:Sue Bailey at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Sue Bailey\,  Night Trees of New York \nNovember 30\, 2019 – January 4\, 2020 \nCamerawork Gallery\n301 N. Graham Street\, Portland\, OR 97227\nLocated in Lorenzen Conference Center – Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Campus.\n9am – 6pm\, Monday-Saturday\, Sunday\, 10am-4pm\nFree off street parking available\, Stair and elevator access\, TriMet Routes 4\, 24 and 44\, ADA accessible\nwww.TheCameraworkGallery.org\nwww.Facebook.com/cameraworkgallery\n503-701-5347\nEvent is free and open to the public \nNew York photographer Sue Bailey notes\, “These photos communicate my love of nature and the city (and I now realize\, my love of drama and the theater). I only shoot the trees at night when I feel most connected to the energy of the natural world and I use only available light—so rich and complex in NYC it’s a show unto itself. There is covert storytelling in the light sources. Plus\, the trees become highly dramatized in the city’s artificial lighting. They exude a mystery and magic often unnoticed during the day. Oddly\, they feel more alive at their most artificial. There’s undeniable soul in these trees. I see them as protectors and guardians at times. There’s one on Riverside Drive that I call “My Guy” (he’s in the show!) That approaches what I aim to reveal and communicate: the trees have spirit and their relationship with us is as co-creators and beings who deserve mutual love and respect.” \nSue Bailey is a New York-based artist who for the past few years has focused on shooting trees at night in NYC and other cities. She was raised on the coast of Oregon and in Portland\, hence her deep love and appreciation of nature. She is a graduate of Cooper Union School of Art in NYC\, where she studied painting and other fine arts. Her photographs have been in various group shows around the country\, most recently at the Davis Orton Gallery in Hudson\, NY. She was the subject of a highly unusual (for them) article in the online magazine for Nat Geo called\, “The Singular Drama of New York Trees.” Before focusing solely on her photography\, Sue was a Vice President at HBO\, working on some of the great TV (or it’s Not TV?) shows of all time. Sue has continued her studies and work at International Center of Photography in NYC.

SUMMARY:Bill Cunningham\, New York at Studio 385
DESCRIPTION:Photography at Oregon\, Last Friday Movie Night\nFilm: Bill Cunningham\, New York \nNovember 29\, 2019 6:30 to 8:00pm \nStudio 385\n385 West 2nd at Lawrence Street\nEugene\, Oregon\n(541) 521-9747\njon@studiomeyers.com\nFree-will donation \n“We all get dressed for Bill\,” says Vogue editrix Anna Wintour.\nThe “Bill” in question is New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. For decades\, until his death in 2016\, this Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high society charity soirées for the Times Style section in his columns “On the Street” and “Evening Hours.” Documenting uptown fixtures (Wintour\, Tom Wolfe\, Brooke Astor\, David Rockefeller—who all appear in the film out of their love for Bill)\, downtown eccentrics and everyone in between\, Cunningham’s enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time\, place and individual flair. Snapping photos of ordinary New Yorkers he spots on the street\, Bill is the quintessential street photographer with a flair for fashion and an eye for character. \n“Bill Cunningham\, New York” Awards: \nNantucket Film Festival—Best Storytelling In A Documentary\nMelbourne Film Festival and the Sydney Film Festival—Audience Award Best Documentary\nAbu Dhabi Film Festival—Best First Documentary\nFilm Festival New York—New Directors/New Film\nCanberra Film Festival—Audience Award Best Documentary\n\nThis film is a delicate\, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace.

SUMMARY:Diana H.  Bloomfield at the Portland Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Diana H.  Bloomfield\, The Whys of Visual Storytelling \nPortland Art Museum Photography Council’s\nBrown Bag Lunch Talk Series \nWednesday\, November 20h\, 2019\, Noon – 1pm \nPortland Art Museum\nThe Miller Gallery\, Mark Building\n1219 SW Park Avenue\, Portland\, OR 97205\nwww.portlandartmuseum.org\n503 226 2811\nCost: Free to the public (people are welcome to bring their lunch) \nIn the thirty-five years that I’ve been a practicing artist\, I have devoted most of that time working in “alternative” historic photographic printing processes and exploring the qualities inherent in film\, specifically in tandem with pinhole and toy cameras. Given that much of this work is hand-made and revolves around unpredictability\, infinite variability\, inordinate amounts of time\, and a definite leap of faith\, the one question that consistently arises— sometimes even in my own mind— is: Why? Given the relative ease that 21st century technology offers with regard to photographing and printing\, why would anyone devote themselves to ancient methods of visual storytelling? In my presentation\, and through my images\, I’ll talk about how my work evolved\, and why. I hope you’ll join me! \nAn exhibiting photographer for over thirty-five years\, Diana has received numerous awards for her images\, including a 1985 New Jersey State Visual Arts Fellowship\, and six Regional Artist Grants from the United Arts Council of Raleigh\, North Carolina\, most recently in 2019/20. She was named a Critical Mass Finalist in 2014\, 2018\, and\, most recently\, in 2019. \nSpecializing in 19th century printing techniques\, Diana’s images have been included in a number of books\, including Pinhole Photography: Rediscovering a Historic Technique (2004)\, by Eric Renner; Robert Hirsch’s Exploring Color Photography Fifth & Sixth Editions: From Film to Pixels (2011; 2015); in Jill Enfield’s Guide to Photographic Alternative Processes: Popular Historical and Contemporary Techniques; in Christopher James’ The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes (2015); and\, most recently\, in #NoFilter\, by Natalia Price-Cabrera\, published in May 2019. \nShe is a featured artist in Christina Z. Anderson’s Gum Printing: A Step-by-Step Manual\, Highlighting Artists and their Creative Practice (2017); and in Clay Harmon’s Polymer Photogravure: A Step-by-Step Manual\, Highlighting Artists & their Creative Practice (2019). \nHer photographs have been featured in the Pinhole Journal; The World Journal of Post-Factory Photography; Chinese Photography; Dodho Photography Magazine\, and Silvershotz (including front cover image). Her images have been included in The Sun Magazine (including front cover image) ; The HAND Magazine; and the North Carolina Literary Review. \nHer art is in a number of public and private collections\, including the Norton Museum of Art\, located in West Palm Beach\, Florida; The Fine Art Program and Collection at Montefiore Einstein\, in Bronx\, New York; New Mexico History Museum/Palace of the Governors\, located in Santa Fe\, New Mexico; and North Carolina State University’s Gregg Museum of Art & Design\, in Raleigh\, North Carolina. \nA native North Carolinian\, Diana lives and works in Raleigh\, North Carolina\, where she received her MA in English Literature and Creative Writing from North Carolina State University. She teaches workshops throughout the country\, and in her beautiful backyard studio. \nDiana is represented by the Ryan Gallery at Art Intersection\, located in Gilbert\, Arizona\, and by photo-eye Gallery (Photographer’s Showcase)\, located in Santa Fe\, New Mexico.

Although this project has been an emotional journey it has given her the opportunity to honor and preserve his memory.

SUMMARY:Dreaming in Color at LightBox Photographic Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Dreaming in Color \nNovember 9 – December 10\, 2019\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, November 9\, 5-8pm \nLightBox Photographic Gallery\n1045 Marine Dr.\nAstoria\, OR 97103\n(503) 468-0238\nlightbox-photographic.com \nLightBox Photographic Gallery host the artists’ opening reception for Dreaming in Color on Saturday\, November 9\, from 5-8 pm. Dreaming in Color is a celebration of photographic images where the color element is pivotal. Dreaming in Color was juried by one of the most talented purveyors of color in her photography\, Jody Miller. \nForty-three photographers from around the country were chosen for the exhibit which includes 60 pieces. The Juror’s award was given to Steve Lease of Doylestown Pa.\, the second Juror’s Award to Chuck Kirchner of Tuscon\, Arizona and the third Award to Dianne Yudelson of Pleasanton Ca. In addition five honorable mentions were awarded. \n“Color is a very personal issue for most photographers. It’s also a completely individual experience\, since not one of us sees color exactly the same way as anyone else. Our perception of color informs our choices as photographers and creates our emotional language. “Dreaming in Color” is about much more than our dreams. It is an invitation to explore your own uses of color in your photography and tell us how it influences your decisions in image making.” ~ Jody Miller \nJody Miller has been a photographer for most of her life. She has studied with Ansel Adams\, Arthur Ollman and Jerry Uelsmann. Her photographs of landscape and cityscape have been featured in many publications.

SUMMARY:M.C. Reardon at Lincoln City Cultural Center
DESCRIPTION:M.C. Reardon\, EXHALE: earth / FOREST\nVisual artist M.C. Reardon presents a dual exhibit of mixed media\, paintings and photography \nNovember 8-December 9\, 2019\nOpening reception: Friday November 8 5-7pm / artist’s talk 6pm \nLincoln City Cultural Center\n540 NE Highway 101\nLincoln City OR\n541-994-9994\nOpen Thursday-Monday 9am-5pm\nemail: lincolncityarts@gmail.com\nwebsite: www.lincolncity-culturalcenter.org \nJoanna Macy once wrote “As we work to heal the Earth\, the Earth heals us.” This exhibit creates a space of Nature\, inner transformation and neutral sanctuary; contemplating the idea of wild nature simply enduring\, going about its daily business\, living in the present moment\, at peace.and yet.still influenced by our presence. \nEXHALE: earth is a body of work using ancient Taoist art as both inspiration and vehicle of expression; exploring the interconnection between Nature and Humanity\, as well as\, considering the idea that Nature does not live in the boundaries that we do\, in tiny squares on a satellite map\, but within the vast landscape we have built our homes upon. \nFOREST is a collection of photographs\, influenced by personal memories of the quiet\, lush forests of Reardon’s home state of Oregon. There are reflections of the senses and spirit; when the harmony of a forest left unaltered by humanity creates balance within\, and the lessons of a forest growing into itself build foundations of collaboration\, mutual sustainability and interdependence. \nAt the show’s opening reception\, Reardon will be launching her latest art book ‘forest’\, which features over 90 of her color and B+W photographs\, created with digital and vintage film cameras; 25 of these images will be framed and hung throughout the Chessman Gallery. 40% of all art sales from this show will directly benefit the Lincoln City Cultural Center; a vibrant hub of artistic expression and arts education on the central Oregon coast.\nNew work that echoes the textures of the forest by Lincoln County ceramic artist Chasse Davidson\, will be included as well. \nTo learn more about Reardon and her creative work please visit:\nwww.mcreardon.com \n

From a statewide call to photo-based artists\, Blue Sky’s founders chose six individuals to represent the next generation of Oregon photographers: Ebenezer Galluzzo\, Emma Kisiel\, Jamila Clarke\, Nolan Streitberger\, Sam Wrigglesworth\, and Troi Anderson. Although these photographers work with the medium in very different ways to tell a range of stories\, they are linked by their use of the camera to reframe or question our past and present cultural norms\, as they expand our understanding of what has come before\, what is\, and what could be. \nAbout the Artists:\nEbenezer Galluzzo is a gender nonconforming trans man\, mother\, husband\, and witch living in Portland\, Oregon. He views the craft of photography as a way to claim and redefine the lens through which he sees the world. He has participated in numerous exhibitions in the United States\, including solo shows in Astoria and Portland\, Oregon\, and his work has been published in Diffusion and in Black & White magazine. \nEmma Kisiel holds a bachelor of fine arts with an emphasis in photography from the University of Colorado Denver. Her work has been featured online in Lenscratch\, Esquire Russia\, F-Stop Magazine\, Feature Shoot\, Juxtapoz\, and the Huffington Post\, and in print in BLINK Magazine and Shots Magazine. Kisiel is also the author of the blog and online artist index Muybridge’s Horse. She is based in Portland\, Oregon.\nJamila Clarke is a fine art photographer whose focus is conceptual portraiture. They were born in Brooklyn\, New York\, and raised in the Pacific Northwest. They studied studio art with a focus on fine art photography/digital video at Oberlin College. Their work has been featured in various galleries and publications around the United States. \nNolan Streitberger is an artist living in Albany\, Oregon. He first studied photography while attending Oregon State University’s pre-college JumpstART program. Nolan holds degrees in graphic design and digital imaging and prepress technology. Streitberger’s work has been featured online in Der Spiegel\, Bento\, ZEITjUNG\, Flavorwire\, and Edge of Humanity Magazine\, and has been selected for recognition by the Smithsonian Photo Contest and the Palm Springs Photo Festival. His photographs have been exhibited in Blue Sky Gallery’s Pacific NW Drawers\, PhotoPlace Gallery online\, the Curated Fridge\, and LoosenArt at the Millepiani Gallery in Rome\, Italy. \nSam Wrigglesworth is a photographer/artist living and working in Eugene\, Oregon. They recently completed their BFA in photography at the University of Oregon. Their work often deals with navigating and renegotiating their relationship to memory. They typically use large- and medium-format analog cameras\, which requires them to employ a slow and intentional process in order to understand an image. In the same way\, understanding oneself or one’s memories is often slow and cumulative. \nTroi Anderson is a documentary photographer based in Portland\, Oregon. He began his career working for Magnolia Pictures and later sailed throughout Asia and the South Pacific as a merchant marine. His work has been featured in GEO France\, the Oregonian\, and Black & White magazine\, and on such websites as CNN Photos\, TIME LightBox\, and Verve Photo. Anderson’s photography has been exhibited in Blue Sky’s Pacific NW Drawers\, and he has been named an emerging artist by Daniel Cooney Fine Art and Musée Magazine. His work has received awards and recognition from American Photography; Photolucida’s Critical Mass Top 50; PX3: Le Prix de la Photographie\, Paris; Communication Arts; the Smithsonian Photo Contest; the Sony World Photography Awards; the Aperture Foundation; IPA – International Photography Awards; and the Palm Springs Photo Festival. \n

This Dada series of catalogued “artifacts” explores how a future society might interpret contemporary plastic containers. The project is driven by Wright’s creative lens work; the objects taking on new form\, expression\, and meaning. There are 27 digital photographs (18 on display at Camerawork Gallery) in the collection—printed with tri-tone pigment ink on Hahnemühle Bamboo paper at 12” x 18”. \nABOUT THE ARTIST Rick Wright practices photography as a malleable and sculptural medium\, stating “photography suffers the unfortunate condition of looking like reality and remains the first thing to transcend as a photographer.” He trained first as an oil painter at Princeton and Columbia Universities (BA and MFA)\, then later morphed into a photographer with studies at ICP in NY with Nan Goldin\, Susan Meiselas\, Dorit Cypis\, and Danny Lyon. Wright is a Philadelphia-based photographer working as a fine artist\, an architectural photographer\, and an instructor. \nThe Vessels of the Late Petroleum Age are currently featured on the cover of LensWork #144 magazine (Sept.-Oct. 2019); along with a 16-page spread. The work has also appeared online in Float Magazine and garnered a Fleisher Faculty Fellowship Award. Wright is currently working on a book of the series with a professional writer. \nSeveral of his photographs reside in permanent collections: Houston Museum of Fine Art\, Philadelphia Museum of Art\, The Creon Collection\, Johnson & Johnson Collection\, and The University of Pennsylvania. Wright keeps his studio in Philadelphia (past 13 years) and teaches photography at Fleisher Art Memorial\, Peter’s Valley School of Art & Craft\, and The Halide Project. \n“Photography is 93% of my life. The other 7% is occupied by typewriter repair\, short story writing\, and life model sketching. I chose photography over painting for its speed\, joy\, and unexpected bends of reality.”—Rick Wright

SUMMARY:Street Vision at South Santiam Hall Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Street VisionPhotographs by Blake Andrews\, Lisa Gidley\, George Kelly\, Gary Gumanow and James Han \nSept. 30 – Nov. 15\, 2019Reception and Gallery Talk\, Thursday\, Oct. 24\, 5-6:30 pmSouth Santiam Hall GalleryLinn-Benton Community College6500 SW Pacific Blvd.Albany\, OR 97321www.linnbenton.edu/current-students/involvement/art-gallery/541-917-4545Open 8-5 Weekdays \nFive Oregon photographers who create art from the fleeting moments of urban life will exhibit their work at Linn-Benton Community College’s South Santiam Hall Gallery\, 6500 SW Pacific Blvd.\, Albany\, from Sept. 30 to Nov. 15\, 2019. \nEugene photographer Blake Andrews will join Portland photographers Lisa Gidley\, George Kelly\, Gary Gumanow and James Han in an exhibit that explores the landscape of street photography in the new century.Street photography has enjoyed a global resurgence in popularity over the last two decades\, according to guest curator Rich Bergeman\, a Corvallis photographer and retired LBCC instructor. He said his goal with the exhibit was to bring contemporary urban photography to the mid-valley\, where it’s not often seen or practiced.“Street photography can be controversial in this age of privacy and political correctness\,” he said. “But it can also bring us sparkling slices of time–candid\, unguarded moments that are ironic\, insightful\, witty and surrealistic.” \nEach of the five photographers in the show gathers his and her pictures from life on the streets\, but each captures their art in different ways–some in color\, some in black-and-white; some with traditional film cameras\, some with iPhones. \nAndrews\, a well-known photographer in the Eugene area\, has been actively photographing for 25 years. He primarily shoots 35mm film\, but for this show will be exhibiting colorful images from the Oregon State Fair shot with an iPhone 6 in pano mode. \nGidley\, who says she’s been “wandering down various sidewalks with a camera since about 2002\,” is showing recent work from New York City. In a break from the street photography tradition of small cameras and black-and-white film\, she frequently photographs in color with a bulky medium-format camera. \nKelly also often uses color film and medium-format\, but the prints he chose for this show are 35mm black-and-white images taken in Portland\, Paris and Los Angeles. He is a self-taught photographer who first took up the camera in 1985. \nGumanow is a native New Yorker who first moved to Portland in 1997\, then to Texas\, and back to Portland in 2015\, and is “happy to be home again.” The work in the LBCC show is from a series of black-and-white images he calls “Houdini Escaping San Francisco.” \nHan is comparatively new to photography\, having gotten serious about it in 2017\, but now he carries a Leica M6 with him every day. He has lived in Portland since 1997\, after moving from Seattle to become a mortician. \nThe South Santiam Hall Gallery is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. \n

SUMMARY:Blue Sky Ahead: Founders at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Blue Sky Ahead: FoundersFeaturing photography by Ann Hughes\, Christopher Rauschenberg\,Craig Hickman\, Robert Di Franco\, and Terry Toedtemeier \nOctober 3–November 3\, 2019First Thursday opening reception: October 3\, 6:00–9:00 PM \nPanel discussion moderated by Lois Leveen withChristopher Rauschenberg\, Craig Hickman\,Prudence Roberts\, and Robert Di Franco:  Saturday\, October 5\, 1:00 PM \nBlue Sky turns 44 years old in October! To celebrate this considerable legacy\, Blue Sky is launching Blue Sky Ahead\, a two-part exhibition series. \nIn October\, Blue Sky will dedicate both galleries to the current and past photographic work by founders Ann Hughes\, Christopher Rauschenberg\, Craig Hickman\, Robert Di Franco\, and Terry Toedtemeier. Please join usin November for the second half of the series—Blue Sky Ahead: Futures—which will highlight the future of photography in Oregon as seen through the eyes of six emerging photographers chosen by Blue Sky’s founders: Ebenezer Galluzzo\, Emma Kisiel\, Jamila Clarke\, Nolan Streitberger\, Sam Wrigglesworth\, and Troi Anderson. \nAnn Hughes was born in 1948 in St. Maries\, Idaho\, and currently lives in Portland\, Oregon\, where she graduated from Portland State University with a Bachelor of Science degree. A photographer and graphic designer\, Hughes co-founded Blue Sky Gallery in 1975\, where she also exhibited numerous times and regularly designed the legendary exhibitions posters during the early years of the gallery. Her photography can be found in private collections and in the Portland Art Museum’s photography collection. \nChristopher Rauschenberg received his BA from The Evergreen State College in Olympia\, Washington. His work has been exhibited at the Griffin Museum of Photography\, the Chicago Cultural Center\, the International Center of Photography in New York\, and the George Eastman House in Rochester\, NY\, among many other major institutions. An exceptionally active leader in the Northwest arts community\, he taught at Marylhurst University in Lake Oswego\, Oregon for many years and co-founded Nine Gallery and the photography nonprofit Photolucida in Portland\, Oregon\, in addition to co-founding Blue Sky Gallery in 1975. \nCraig Hickman grew up in the Northwest\, where he became friends with fellow Blue Sky cofounders in high school and beyond. Hickman earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Portland State University and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Washington\, Seattle. He taught photography at The Evergreen State College and later taught art courses focused on the computer as an art medium at the University of Oregon\, where he is now Professor Emeritus after 31 years. He is also the creator of Kid Pix\, a computer drawing program for children\, which he initially developed for his son\, Ben. \nRobert Di Franco has been a working artist since 1973. He received a Bachelor of Arts from Brown University and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of California\, Davis. In 1975 he co-founded Blue Sky Gallery. Di Franco has taught photography at Cincinnati Art Academy\, the Pacific Northwest College of Art\, Marylhurst University\, and The Evergreen State College. His work has been exhibited at numerous venues nationally and internationally and it is housed in the collections of the French National Archives\, The Portland Art Museum\, The Rainier Bank Photography Collection\, Oregon State Capitol Collection\, the Seattle Arts Commission\, Seattle Art in Public Places Program\, The Washington State Arts Commission\, the Portland Metropolitan Arts Commission\, and the Hallie Ford Museum of Art. In 2015 his photographs were exhibited at the Portland Art Museum in the Blue Sky\, The Oregon Center for the Photographic Arts at 40 retrospective exhibition. \nLifelong Oregonian Terry Toedtemeier (1947–2008) was a dedicated photographer\, photography teacher\, and the Portland Art Museum’s first curator of photography. A self-taught photographer who studied geology in college\, Toedtemeier began experimenting with the medium during the 1970s\, focusing on his friends and colleagues as subjects. By the 1980s he attracted wider critical attention through his landscape images\, which were influenced by his deep understanding of both the photography traditions of the American West and the land’s underlying geology. He traveled throughout Oregon\, paying particularly close attention to the Columbia River Gorge\, the coastline\, and the arid southeast\, enthralled by the diversity of terrain contained within the state’s borders. Digital and color photographs created shortly before the end of his life demonstrate Toedtemeier’s ever-present willingness to experiment and see anew through the camera’s lens. \n

SUMMARY:Pamela Chipman at Art at the Cave
DESCRIPTION:Pamela Chipman\, Photography Exhibition and Video Installation \nOctober 4-26\, 2019Opening reception: Friday\, October 4\, 6-9pm \nArt at the Cave108 E. Evergreen BlvdVancouver\, WA \nArtist Pamela Chipman is pleased to announce new works in Photography and\, two new video installations at Art at the Cave Gallery in Vancouver\, WA\, October 4-26\, 2019. \nUtilizing multiple mediums\, Pamela Chipman’s work explores personal identity and human interconnectivity to express inner states of awareness and isolation. Interweaving imagery with language\, movement and sound\, Inner Voices contemplates the body/mind/spirit connection and specifically how language builds\, shapes and dictates memory and our sense of self. \nWorking in non-linear modalities\, Inner Voices creates an immersive experience both intellectual and sensory. In one aspect\, motion detection software triggers unique video/audio content of women photographed in silhouette compiled into animations. The silhouettes create a haunting two-dimensional profile that are at once objective and nondiscriminating\, and therefore unifying\, but speak to issues of domesticity\, loneliness\, trama\, loss and ultimately\, reconciled transfiguration through a synthesis of mutual experience. \nThe voices we hear\, reveal intertwining narratives that tune us in to our inner voices and navigate how we move forward through time and backward through memory. These sound elements trigger recollections\, emotion\, our internal critic\, or the mundane thoughts that occupy our everyday minds. While the animations move through space and time – using props to represent identity\, power\, and grace – the artist reminds us of our shared humanity\, of our sensate and often unconscious motivations\, and the outer manifestations of our inner state. \nIn Loose Threads\, Chipman enduringly chronicles how easy a life can become unravelled. The artist captures the raw\, true story of a young woman emotionally scarred by the psychological oppression of a masculine dominant culture. The story takes place in New York City in the late 1970s\, but through this video Chipman illustrates how vulnerable women can be – we’re reminded of the far reaching Me Too Movement – and how little has changed culturally for women who are often left to deal with the results of trauma by themselves\, struggling to find their way forward. \nChipman also presents photographs and gilded prints of the images that inspired the Inner Voices video. Each image radiates a luminosity that captures the deliberateness of women-as-subject. We see the subjects as captivating individuals demonstrating their strength\, adaptability\, and resistance to the adversities that often plague women throughout history. Chipman allows us to contemplate in a more resting fashion these Inner Voices and how the body/mind/spirit connection unites us. \nAs an interdisciplinary artist\, Pamela Chipman draws on the present day cultural experiences of women grappling with sexism and gender inequality. She studied video and photography at UCLA and moved to Portland\, Oregon in the late 1980s. Her work has screened across the country in film festivals\, galleries\, and on community television\, and is held in private collections. Throughout her career\, Chipman has explored the potential of the video medium through a variety of projects ranging from video-poetry\, live television\, installations\, and documentary projects. She continues to explore new methods of integrating media into our visual world using installation\, video books\, and public art as tools to reach a broad artistic audience and to activate a sense of fellowship and communita \n

We see these places not as they are but idealize them through our memories. In The Emotional Landscape series\, I capture my deep connection to the natural landscape. \n“I draw my inspiration from the 19th century landscape painting of The Hudson River School. Like the Hudson River School painters\, I interpret the landscape and how it affects me emotionally and spiritually. My approach is not about capturing reality but creating a neo-Romantic world reflective of my memory and imagination.“Walking is an integral part of my creative process and forms my point of view. All of the landscapes in this series were captured while hiking through the natural landscape. The act of walking allows me to experience the nuances of light\, weather and time. It forms my conversation and connection with the landscape. Like a painter\, I manipulate these images through the layering of textures and colors to express my emotional response to a landscape that exists only in my memory.” \nAbout the Artist Karen Klinedinst is a Baltimore-based artist using photography to explore themes of place\, nature and the environment. She is a graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore.Her landscapes have been exhibited at Massoni Art Gallery\, Fleckenstein Gallery\, South x Southeast Photo Gallery\, Adkins Arboretum\, Maryland Art Place\, Soho Photo Gallery\, The Center for Fine Art Photography\, Griffin Museum of Photography\, and the Biggs Museum of American Art. Her work is in the collection of the National Park Service. \nKlinedinst was a 2004 Platte Clove Artist-in-Residence at the Catskills Center for Conservation and Development\, and a 2006 National Park Service Artist-in- Residence at Acadia National Park in Maine. In 2015 she was awarded an Individual Artist Award from the Maryland State Arts Council. \nShe teaches workshops at the Creative Alliance in Baltimore\, Johns Hopkins University’s Odyssey Program\, and at her Baltimore studio. \n

SUMMARY:Marcia Connolly & Katherine Knight at Studio 385
DESCRIPTION:Marcia Connolly & Katherine Knight\, Spring & Arnaud:  Art\, Love\, MortalityPhotography at Oregon\, Last Friday Movie Night \nFriday September 27thDoors open 6:30. Movie starts 7:00 \nStudio 385385 West 2nd Ave at Lawrence St.Eugene\, Or 97401541-686-1240Admission: Open to the public and by fee-will donation \nSpring & Arnaud: Art\, Love\, MortalityBy Marcia Connolly &Katherine Knight[67m/1h7m] \nTogether more than 25 years\, Spring Hurlbut and Arnaud Maggs lived an artful and art-filled life until Maggs’s death at 86 last year. While Oscar Wilde may have put his talent into his art and saved his genius for the living\, these two souls in communion\, born 26 years apart\, appear not to have stinted on either. Shot in the months leading up to Maggs’s death\, the film\, as its title more than suggests\, is an elegiacally inflected love story between equals\, the co-directors never privileging one artist’s oeuvre or sensibility over the other’s. Mostly it’s just Arnaud and Spring\, looking\, talking\, not talking\, gesturing\, at their cottage in France\, their home and studios in Toronto\, a flea market\, the National Gallery in Ottawa. Affectionate and respectful\, it’s also gorgeous to look at. \nREVIEW BY JAMES ADAMSPUBLISHED APRIL 22\, 2013 UPDATED JUNE 19\, 2017

SUMMARY:Angel O’Brien at the Portland Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Angel O’Brien\, Rowing to Eden \nPortland Art Museum Photography Council’sBrown Bag Lunch Talk Series \nWednesday\, September 18th\, 2019\, Noon – 1pm \nPortland Art MuseumThe Miller Gallery\, Mark Building1219 SW Park Avenue\, Portland\, OR 97205www.portlandartmuseum.org503 226 2811Cost: Free to the public (people are welcome to bring their lunch) \nAngel O’Brien will be talking about her recent work from Prague\, Budapest\, San Francisco and Portland\, as well as the liberation of finally finding her voice 24 years after picking up her first camera. \nLocal photographer Angel O’Brien works with experimental and alternative processes to create the often surreal and layered self-portrait montages for which she is well known. Her love of photography began in 1994 when she was in high school: She spent many a day wandering Portland with her Cambo 5×7\, shooting this city’s architecture\, spending even more evenings in her bathroom-turned-darkroom making black-and-white contact prints. Angel’s hands haven’t been far from a camera since\, and she currently works with 35mm\, twin lens\, pinhole\, and large format cameras. Although she mainly kept to monochrome processes in the past\, she experimented with cross-processing slide film and fell in love with the off kilter colors she saw in her photographs. She continues with this method today. \nA few years ago\, out of frustration with not being able to make the photographs that she had in her head\, Angel began to experiment with photo transfers\, creating a lot of crazy (and mostly bad) work. She then learned platinum-palladium printing from Ray Bidegain and gum bichromate printing from Christina Z. Anderson. She finally had the tools she needed to be able to manifest the photography that she’d always been trying to make. A solo trip to Prague and Budapest provided the time and mental space to discover how to turn her crazy life into the handmade platinum/gum (self) portraits that she is recognized for today. \nAngel’s work has been exhibited on both coasts and in Europe\, and is either currently or soon-to-be exhibited at the Blue Sky Gallery in Portland\, the Lightbox Photographic Gallery in Astoria\, and the Albatross Gallery in Gold Hill\, Oregon. She’s recently been selected for the Critical Mass Top 200 for work from her series The Distance of Forgetting. \nWhen she isn’t making photography or writing poetry\, she is often making other kinds of art with her eight-year-old\, Gwendolyn\, or eating too many chocolate ice cream cones\, pondering the chaos of her universe. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Alternative Visions Exhibit at LightBox Photographic Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Alternative Visions Exhibit \nSeptember 14 – November 5\, 2019Artists’ Opening Reception: Saturday\, September 14\, 5-8pm \nLightBox Photographic Gallery1045 Marine Dr.Astoria\, OR 97103(503) 468-0238lightbox-photographic.com \nLightBox Photographic Gallery opens Alternative Visions with an artists’ reception on Saturday\, September 14\, 2019 from 5-8pm. The prints in Alternative Visions represent a large variety of processes\, ranging from cyanotype\, gum\, platinum/palladium\, silver gelatin\, Van Dyke brown\, carbon transfer\, photogravure\, wet plate\, tintype\, ambrotype\, lith\, casein\, chemigram\, lumenprint\, and wet plate collodion. The handmade print\, taken into so many directions\, is obviously alive and well. \nWe are honored to have Christina Z. Anderson\, one of the nations’ finest photographic educators as juror for this Exhibit and keynote Speaker of the Symposium \n“The alternative process “movement” which began around the 1960s was largely a return to 19th century hand coated processes as an alternative to corporately controlled gelatin silver paper. Today there has been a conflation of gelatin silver\, C-prints\, 19th century processes\, and printmaking into the alternative process genre. Even digital means of image capture are now a part of this practice with some processes such as image transfer or palladium over ink jet which use digital printing in part. The hallmark of the field is that the end result is a hands-on\, handmade print.” ~ Christina Z. Anderson \nCongratulations to the photographers accepted into Alternative Visions \nMichael Atha • Ray Bidegain • Per Bjesse • Diana BloomfieldJulia Bradshaw • Greg Brophy • Ronald Butler • Kimberley ChiarisMonika Danos • Leah Diament • John Dubois • Rory EarnshawChristopher Erin • Jim Fitzgerald • László Galos • Ryan GillespieAndrej Gregov • Sarah Grew • Patricia Holgate • Suzanne IzzoKaren Johanson • Barbara Justice • Sally Kim-Miller • Douglas KingTravis Lovell • Jocelyn Mathewes • Marek Matusz • Julie MooreHarini Krishnamurthy • Susie Morrill • Barbara Murray • Angel O’BrienWalt O’Brien • Ralph Rinke • Philip Schwartz • Jennifer Gioffre ToddAjuan Song • Michael Puff • Melanie Walker • Laura Alice WattTri Tran • Rebecca Zeiss • Yelena Zhavoronkova • Ryan Zoghlin \nThe Alternative Visions Exhibit is part of the 2019 LightBox Symposium for Alternative Process Photography\,(click on link) hosted by LightBox Photographic Gallery in Astoria\, Oregon on September 13\, 14\, 15\, 2019. \nAlternative Visions runs from September 14th until November 5th.
