Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman will exhibit selections from his “More Than Meets the Eye” portfolio at the Crossroads-Carnegie Art Center in Baker City May 6-27, 2022.
An opening reception will be held during the city-wide First Friday Artwalk on May 6, from 5:30-8pm.
The exhibit features 25 black-and-white photographs that explore the transformative effects of infrared light on a variety of Northwest landscapes, including Oregon’s High Desert and Coastline, the rugged terrain of Southwestern Oregon, the Willamette Valley, and Willapa Bay on Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula.
“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 most recent addiction. I has a hauntingly beautiful quality that can, if used with restraint, transform otherwise ordinary views of the land, sea and sky into magical scenes.”
In a free presentation on Saturday, May 7, at 11am, Bergeman will discuss the history and contemporary applications of infrared photography, and demonstrate techniques of creating and processing black-and-white images with digital cameras converted to capture the infrared spectrum.
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.

I had been photographing this area, Elkhorn Valley/ N. Fork Rd along the Little North Santiam
River, for the last 14 years and thought it very unique and beautiful. Each year I looked forward
to returning in the Spring, being sure things would look a little different after the Winter rains and could capture something with a new look.
Then came the “Beachie Creek Fire” in August 2020. It was almost two months after the fire was
out before I could bring myself to view the burned area. Shocking devastation for miles and miles.
I slowly started to photograph a few burned areas even as dead trees adjacent to the roads were being cut, or were marked (red X’s) to be cut, post burn.
After returning a second time I found myself being more selective in what my images looked like
and realized I could still see and find beauty in a perverse sort of way. As a landscape photographer
for 40 years that becomes ingrained in the way you see things. So I relaxed and decided to keep
seeing and photographing this way. As you look at these images, I’m hoping you see the beauty in
the photographers vision in spite of the fires devastation.
You will probably notice that some of the trees, mostly Alders (whitish & grey) as well as some mosses and lichens survived due to high water content. A number of these photographs were taken across the river resulting in large near trees and much smaller background trees.
Considering my particular nature, I have printed my own photographs herein.

Kultur Films has produced this movie and calls it the quintessential avant-garde artist of the 20th Century. It’s a kind of narrated slide show with a detailed discussion of his works through a comprehensive presentation of his art. This documentary adds a full biography, which includes his influences and contribution to dadaist and surrealist thinking of the time.
Born in Philadelphia in 1890 and raised in Brooklyn, Emmanuel Radnitsky, later known as Man Ray, was always determined to become an artist. While he attended a boy’s school in Brooklyn, he educated himself with frequent visits to the local art museums, where he studied the works of the Old Masters. He began his fifty year career as a painter and designer and soon expanded to collage, printmaking, photography, object-making, sculpture and film.
To earn a living while pursuing the more iconoclastic work that he loved, he took portrait and fashion photographs, eventually becoming the most celebrated commercial photographer in Paris. He came into his own in the 1920’s when he joined his good friend and Dadaist advocate, Marcel Duchamp in Paris. He soon became a significant contributor to the Dada and Surrealist movements.
Man Ray actually produced major works in a variety of media but was best known for his pioneering photography, in particular as a renowned fashion and portrait photographer. While living in New York City, Man Ray was influenced by the avant-garde practices of European contemporary artists and in visits to Alfred Stieglitz’s “291” art gallery. He eventually involved himself with the Dada anti-art movement and started creating objects and developed unique mechanical and photographic methods of making images.
His experiments with photography included rediscovering how to make “cameraless” pictures, or photograms, which he called rayographs. He made them by placing objects directly on light-sensitive paper, which he exposed to light and developed. In 1922 a book of his collected rayographs, Les Champs délicieux (“The Delightful Fields”), was published, with an introduction by the influential Dada artist Tristan Tzara who admired the enigmatic quality of Man Ray’s images. In 1929, with his lover, photographer and model Lee Miller, Man Ray also experimented with the technique calledsolarization, which renders part of a photographic image negative and part positive by exposing a print or negative to a flash of light during development. He and Miller were among the first artists to use the process, known since the 1840s, for aesthetic purposes.
As mentioned above, Man Ray also pursued fashion and portrait photography and made a virtually complete photographic record of the celebrities of Parisian cultural life during the 1920s and ’30s. Many of his photographs were published in magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar, Vu, and Vogue. He continued his experiments with photography through the genre of portraiture; for example, he gave one sitter three pairs of eyes, and in Le Violon d’Ingres (1924) he photographically superimposed sound holes, or f holes, onto the photograph of the back of a female nude, making the woman’s body resemble that of a violin. He also continued to produce ready-mades. One, a metronome with a photograph of an eye fixed to the pendulum, was called Object to Be Destroyed (1923)—which it was by anti-Dada rioters in 1957.

As of this writing (5/18/2022), the gallery requires proof of COVID-19 vaccination (including booster), or proof of a negative COVID-19 test within the last 48 hours to enter the gallery. Wearing a proper mask while inside is highly recommended.
Philip Bowser is pleased to announce his photographs, “Blue: Exploring Duotones,” will be available for viewing June 1, 2022 through July 31, 2022 in the Portland Photographers’ Forum Community Drawer in the flat storage area of the Blue Sky Gallery, 122 NW 8th Avenue, Portland, OR 97209.
Many people had creative blocks during the last two years. Philip found re-working old images using a duotone process helped him to break out of a blue funk and get back to making prints. How he stumbled upon this solution, plus ten matted examples, will rest in the Portland Photographers’ Forum community drawer for two months, waiting for somebody to pick them up and hinge up the mat for a closer look. They are signed and annotated on verso.
The prints are available for sale, but should remain in the drawer until the end of July. If you just happen to fall in love with an image, but cannot afford it, send an email to pbowser@me.com. Describe your experience—what was it like to want to take home that print. At the end of the display, Philip will give away one of the prints.

Dorothea Lange: A Visual Life brings to life five decades of the changing face of 20th century America, viewed through the lens of one of its most eloquent photographers. The film sets Lange’s evocative photographs and recorded conversations against contemporary interviews with family and colleagues, creating an intimate portrait of this extraordinary and complex photographer. (46 minutes)
Her Contribution to the democratic ideal:
I have come to think of Lange as a photographer of democracy, and for democracy. Her career developed when the severe economic depression of the 1930s created a political opening for expanding and deepening American democracy. Despite the miseries and fear it engendered, the Depression created a moment of idealism, imagination, and unity in Americans’ hopes for their country. No photographer of the time, perhaps no artist of the time, did more than Lange to advance this democratic vision. Her photographs enlarged the popular understanding of who Americans were, providing a more democratic visual representation of the nation. Lange’s America included Mormons, Jews, and evangelicals; farmers, sharecroppers, and migrant farmworkers; workers domestic and industrial, male and female; citizens and immigrants not only black and white but also Mexican, Filipino, Chinese, and Japanese, notably the 120,000 Japanese Americans locked in internment camps during World War II. Late in life her democratic eye reached beyond the United States, as she photographed in Egypt, Japan, Indonesia, and many other parts of the developing world. There too her focus was democratic: she photographed primarily working people through her lens of respect for their labor, skills, and pride.

Long-time Oregon photographers Rich Bergeman and Kurt Norlin are teaming up for an exhibit at the Rogue Gallery in downtown Medford called “From Fire and Light” from June 24 to Aug. 5.
A reception is planned for Friday, July 15, from 5:30 to 8pm.
The two photographers have been friends and colleagues for more than 30 years, although their photographic styles have evolved in different directions over time. Both taught photography at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany, OR, from the 1980s until each retired about 15 years ago.
Norlin, a resident of Albany, will be showing a collection of abstract black-and-white and color images created over the past five years that evoke a spiritual connection with the land. Norlin photographs with his iPhone, skillfully employing a technique called ICM, or intentional camera movement, to create impressionistic images. “This has allowed me to use the camera in a fluid way to create images that have more to do with incorporating time, movement and impressions rather than descriptive fact,” Norlin explains.
Bergeman, who lives in nearby Corvallis, is showing a body of work begun during the pandemic that explores the expressionistic patterns created by clouds when photographed with an infrared camera.
“While my so-called ‘travels’ were restricted to walking around the neighborhood, I began to admire the high, feathery cirrus clouds overhead,” Bergeman recalls. “I discovered that when photographed in infrared, I could isolate these sometimes faint patterns against a pitch-black sky and dramatize their shapes, lines and movement.”
Photographer Kurt Norlin grew up in a family of artists. He earned a Master of Arts degree from Central Washington University in 1974, and a second Masters at the University of Oregon. He has served as a photography instructor for Oregon State University, Linn-Benton Community College and the University of Oregon Malheur Workshops, and for several years curated the art galleries at LBCC.
A retired instructor of photography and journalism at LBCC, 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.

Doremus Scudder’s aesthetic vision finds uncommon emotional and spiritual depth, transcending the merely representational to reveal universalities that resonate within us. To him, the function of art is to enrich, inspire and uplift the human spirit. It is to this end that he strives through the ultimate expressiveness of black-and-white photography.
Doremus Scudder began photographing seriously in his early twenties, working originally with small and medium format, eventually stepping up to, and mastering the techniques associated with, the larger format view camera. After moving with his wife to Vienna, Austria to study at the renowned Vienna Academy of Music, he has built a career as an operatic baritone, appearing often as operatic soloist throughout Europe and the United States. In addition, his passion for photography has developed into a flourishing second career that affords him the opportunity to travel extensively in search of images. He now actively pursues both photography and music.
Doremus Scudder works exclusively in black-and-white, using large-format cameras and film, and hand-crafts silver gelatin prints in the darkroom using traditional photographic techniques. Nothing is done using digital technology. Although color photography was once a large part of his commercial work, his personal vision has always been manifested through the photographic instrument he deems most expressive: Black-and-White.
Within this medium, he uses varied subject matter, careful organization of the subject, and a broad and expressive palette of tonalities to create compelling images of strong form, character and content. For Doremus, the function of art is to enrich and uplift the human spirit through excellence and beauty: it is to this end that he strives. The photographs themselves are their own best description, expressing their wordless world powerfully and eloquently. They are able to be appreciated on many levels, being rich in immediate impact as well as yielding ever more profundity and detail over time.
Doremus Scudder’s work is exhibited widely and represented in numerous galleries and private collections throughout the United States and Europe.

Stu Levy & Willie Osterman Photography Workshop
Shore Acres and the Oregon Coast
September 8-12, 2022
Workshop Fee: US $850
To register for the workshop, contact Stu at DrZone5@gmail.com

Shore Acres and the Oregon Coast will be the focus of this workshop. On the Oregon coast west of Coos Bay, Shore Acres is often termed the “Point Lobos of Oregon.” It is an area of convoluted rock forms and tide pools. North and south along the coast are pristine sand dunes and volcanic “seastacks” forming the rugged coastline.
This is the backdrop for an intensive photographic experience with Stu Levy and Willie Osterman. Early mornings and late afternoons will feature field sessions with camera side evaluation of composition and exposure. At mid-day, the instructors will lead print viewing and critique sessions and will present their own work.
Stu and Willie are intimately familiar with the region and offer you a unique combination of technical expertise and creative insight which promises to make this workshop an unforgettable experience. We will be based at the Edgewater Inn in Coos Bay, where a block of rooms has been reserved for the workshop participants.
All camera formats, film, digital, and all printing approaches are welcome.
For everyone’s safety, completed COVID vaccination is a requirement for attending the workshop.
Willie Osterman is a Fulbright Scholar and a professor of Fine Art Photography at Rochester Institute of Technology. He taught and was an assistant at the Ansel Adams workshops in Yosemite Park. His first sabbatical was in Yosemite National Park spending a year documenting the workers, visitors and the land. His publication ‘Déjà View: A Cultural Re-Photographic Survey of Bologna, Italy’ in its second edition is now out of print.
He has over 80 exhibitions in the US, Italy, Turkey, Austria, China and Croatia. His work is included, among others, in the collections of the International Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House, The Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, the University of New Mexico Museum of Art, Portland Museum of Art, New Orleans Museum of Art, the Alinari Photographic Archive in Florence, Italy and Muzej Grada Zagreba (City Art Museum of Zagreb), Croatia.
Stu Levy is a photographer living in Portland, Oregon. He has led photography workshops on the Oregon Coast for over 30 years. He studied with Ansel Adams and was an assistant instructor for Ansel’s workshops in Yosemite and Carmel; he was also an instructor at the Ansel Adams Gallery Workshops.

LightBox Photographic Gallery celebrates a month with historical photographic processes and their use in fine art photography in September. Three photographic artists who use the alternative processes in their photographic art are featured with the opening of exhibits on Saturday, September, 10th, “Visions” : an exhibit of photographs by Julie Moore, opens in the upper gallery, featuring both Poly-Photogravure and Enhanced Lumen prints. Julie Moore will be in the gallery for an artist reception from 4 – 7pm.
“The images in ‘visions’ share the way I see the world, it’s soft tenderness & extravagant beauty, it’s agonizing loss & exquisite aging. I am often shown the overlooked aspects of life and nature. By using these alternative processes, I am able to meld the present with the past. – julie moore
Poly photogravure: an alternative process that creates a positive from a photographic negative on a transparent sheet. That sheet is then contact printed onto a light sensitive plate, inked as one would in etching and put through a press.
Chine Colleé: is a printmaking technique in which the image is transferred onto a surface that is bonded onto a heavier support in the printing process. This allows me to print on a much more delicate surface, such as washi paper.
À La Poupée: a historic intaglio printmaking technique for making colored prints by applying different ink colors to a single plate prior to printing.
Enhanced Lumens: lumens are camera-less prints dating back to the 1830s when William Henry Fox Talbot placed foliage on sensitized paper and exposed it to sunlight. This created a negative print or a photogram from which positive contact prints could be made. Today, the process is exactly the same with the addition of image manipulation using digital technology.

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?
-Jon Gottshall
