Photography at Oregon is proud to present an exhibition by noted Eugene-based photographer Susie Morrill. This show consists of all-new portraiture, exquisitely printed in palladium. Here’s more from Susie:
“In my image making, I am concerned with portraying my subjects in a telling fashion. I feel that people reveal a lot about themselves by the things they surround themselves with in their environment. I strive to allow the subjects to portray themselves as they wish to be seen. The viewer gets the opportunity to journey into the lives of others and assess the person(s) sense of place that they find there. Ultimately, I hope the viewer comes away with a sense of appreciating something simple, and wonderful, about others through observing a vignette of their lives through the image.
The palladium portraits featured in my current show were predominantly shot at the Oregon Country Fair this year.”
Susie Morrill graduated from the U of O with an MFA in visual design and computer graphics. She taught all levels of photography at Lane Community College in the Media Arts and Technology Dept. for 30 years. In addition, Susie has assisted and taught numerous photography workshops on the West Coast including Ansel Adams Gallery workshops, the Portland Photographic Forum workshops, the Photographic Image Gallery workshops, and University of California extension workshops. Susie has been the chairman of the Photography at Oregon Committee for the past 40 years. She is a founding member of the PhotoZone gallery. Her personal work consists of medium format environmental portraits and digital images – typically portraits – printed with Palladium – an archival process first developed in the 1850s.

LightBox Photographic Gallery is happy to present this one day class on composition. Yes, the subject we all know everything about yet perhaps nothing at all! Sam Blair has worked diligently and put together a very extensive expose on the subject of Composition. We invite you to join us for this one day class in the beautiful LightBox Photographic Gallery in the heart of Downtown Astoria. Please join Sam and enjoy a Saturday in Astoria with us!
From those bulls drawn on cave walls in Lascaux over 15,000 years ago, to Greek and Roman artists, to artists of the Renaissance like DaVinci and Michelangelo, concept and composition have always been the first and foremost considerations in the creative process. “Composition”, Edward Weston famously said, “is the strongest way of seeing”. But what does that even mean? This class answers that question.
Over the long arc of art history, certain principles of composition have evolved. These are not rules, as Art has no rules. (Sorry, Rule of Thirds) Instead, we have tools of composition which, when combined with your own creativity, distinguish strong, compelling images from those Dorothea Lange called “one lookers”.
As photographers- the new kids on the block- you will learn what those tools are, and how to apply them. Equally important, you will learn why they appeal to the brain and the human sense of perception. There will be no recitation of stale formulas. Instead, you will learn how to think about compositions, using visual learning. Classic works of art and strong photographs will illustrate by example how the tools were used successfully, and how you can apply those same tools. You will learn a workflow process guaranteed to
produce consistently stronger images, or your money back, no questions asked. I’m that confident in the process.
Already pretty good at compositions? Just remember Michelangelo’s last words, spokenon his death bed: “Ancora imparo”, he whispered, translated from Latin to mean “ I was still learning”.

Open weekdays from 8am to 5pm

Two Eugene-area artists explore the surreal world of infrared photography in an exhibit this fall on Linn-Benton Community College’s Albany campus.
“The Light Beyond” features the work of photographers Linda Devenow and Sandi O’Brien.
A native of Michigan, Devenow came to Eugene 20 years ago with a strong background in commercial photography. She began exploring the infrared spectrum in 2018, first in black-and-white and more recently in color. Much of her work on display in the SSH Gallery focuses on eliciting color and emotion from landscape scenes that resemble oil and watercolor paintings, often flirting with abstraction.
O’Brien works primarily in black-and-white as she seeks out landscapes that “invite the viewer to step into the scene,” as she puts it. “In the last few years I have been enamored with infrared photography due to the other-worldliness and magical quality that I find I can’t get in a straight black-and-white or color photograph.” A retired mental health therapist, O’Brien lives in Creswell.
Both use digital cameras that have been converted to capture varying ranges of the infrared spectrum, which lies just beyond the visible range of light and is thus invisible to the human eye.

What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? ~ Mary Oliver
Prior to February 2020 I gave little thought to my mortality. After all, I was healthy and I was just like my father, who lived a good life to age 96.
On the evening of February 28, 2020, after cutting my finger while preparing dinner, I began a year long struggle to survive and recover from a near fatal Staph MRSA bacterial infection. I was eventually given no better than a 10% chance of survival.
After collapsing at home and being brought to emergency, doctors searched for a treatment for the antibiotic resistant infection as it continued to rage. It had entered my bloodstream and overtook my entire body. This would eventually result in open heart surgery mitral valve replacement, stroke, kidney dialysis and other surgeries. I could not walk or speak and have little memory of these events.
During the months of my recovery memories of the Oregon Coast filled my mind and I dreamed of once again walking the beach. Over the past three years my daughters Caroline and Cathy have shared the story of my illness and survival with me. These images are a collaboration with them. I’ve combined my own photos captured on my many visits to the Oregon Coast with photographs taken by my daughters during my illness.
I would not have survived without the love and fierce support of my beautiful family.
The exhibit runs from October 14 through November 8, 2023. Complete show info is on the LightBox website at http://lightbox-photographic.com/shows/. Contact LightBox at 503-468-0238 or info@lightboxphotographic.com. LightBox is located at 1045 Marine Drive in Astoria, hours are Wednesday – Saturday, 12 – 5:00pm.

Have you ever been captivated by the grace of a dancer, or the power of a dance performance? Have you wanted to capture that magic in a photograph? If so, this class is for you!
In this class, you’ll learn the skills you need to take stunning photos of dancers. We’ll cover everything from camera settings to lighting, working with natural and artificial light, posing and directing, clothing and setting selection, and letting a concept evolve into something better than you imagined. Working in the beautiful BodyVox dance studios, Fritz will demonstrate concepts, working with skilled dancers from BodyVox; you’ll also get to work with dancers to create your own stunning images, with Fritz’s help. Lighting and camera gear will be on loan from Pro Photo Supply, so you can try out new gear, or have Fritz help you maximize the gear you already have. We’ll also have time for review and critique, so you can improve on your images the 2nd day.
“Working with dancers has been some of the most enjoyable collaborative work of my photography career,” says Fritz. “You’re not just instructing a model, you’re interacting with a skilled artist in their own right. Working together, you can create something surprising, graceful, beautiful, stunning. Plus, it’s a ton of fun.”
Join us for this 2-day workshop, where we’ll review some of the best dance photography out there, and work on creating some of our own, with the dancers of Portland’s own BodyVox. You’ll come away with new skills, new friends, and some really cool photographs.
Prerequisites
• Basic knowledge of photography
• A DSLR or mirrorless camera

These images were shot on film with large format pinhole cameras (either 4×5 or 8×10), then scanned and printed using archival methods and materials on an inkjet printer. To retain the “feel” of the analog source, only traditional darkroom adjustments have been made to the digital image, such as spotting, cropping and toning.
Gene Tonry is a long-time member of the PhotoZone Gallery group in Eugene. His interest in photography goes back to the late 1970s when he took classes with master printer George Tice and fashion photographer Victor Steinhart in New York City. Having made the switch from film to digital in the early 2000’s, he now finds it both interesting and ironic to be shooting with film again:
“I have long admired the elemental, dreamy quality of fine pinhole prints, and truth be told, I think there’s something about the anticipation, guesswork, and surprise that’s part of shooting with film that I missed after switching to digital.” – Gene Tonry

“Artistic License,” an exhibit of the Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild, features over 80 black-and-white and color photographs by members of the guild, who were asked to exercise their creative freedom for the group’s 13th biennial exhibit at The LaSells Stewart Center on the OSU campus. The result is a wide-ranging display of both abstract and representational work from the provocative and humorous to the fantastical and other-worldly.
The PhotoArts Guild was formed 38 years ago to promote and support fine art photography in the mid-valley and has been an affiliated guild of the Corvallis Art Center since 1988. The group has evolved over the decades from one focused primarily on large-format film photography to one populated mostly by digital camera artists pursuing non-commercial forms of the medium–landscape, wildlife, portrait, fine art, nature and more.

Long-time Oregon photographer and teacher Kurt Norlin will celebrate a half century devoted to photography with two exhibits in Eugene and Springfield in November.
A retrospective show of work spanning his multi-faceted career, from the 1970s to the present, will be at the Emerald Art Center in downtown Springfield, while a satellite show focusing on more recent work will be at Dot Dotson’s from Nov. 3-30.
Norlin will present an artist’s talk at the EAC on Sunday Nov. 19 at 3pm. The exhibit and talk are sponsored by the Photography at Oregon Committee.
The 84-year-old Norlin has been actively involved in creative photography for 50 years, ever since switching from a career in fisheries in the mid-70s to pursue one in fine art. During that time he has been a pioneer in several alternative approaches and process in the field, from hand-colored silver prints and photo-collages in his early years, to toy camera and pinhole photography in mid-career, and most recently intentional camera movement (ICM) images made with his phone.
“While the landscape has always been at the core of my work, the images are more about an impression or dream remembered, rather than pure descriptive fact,” he said. “Over the years I have become more interested in the essence of a place than the pure description.”
The Oregon native has had a life-long interest in photographing the eastern side of the state, and has assisted in four summer workshops conducted by the University of Oregon Photography Department in the Malheur and Steens Mountain country. From 1994 to 2016 he taught darkroom skills, alternative process, and digital photography courses at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany.
Norlin was born in Salem and grew up in Roseburg, then received his undergraduate and masters degrees from Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Wash. After 20 years as a darkroom technician and fine art photographer, including several years with a studio in the Crees Building in downtown Corvallis, he returned to the classroom at the University of Oregon to earn a Masters in Fine Arts in 1993. While at the UofO he worked as a teaching assistant under Profs. Dan Powell and Terri Warpinski.
Throughout that time Norlin maintained an active exhibition career, participating in solo, group and juried shows from Oregon to New York. He has also curated exhibits for galleries at LBCC and the Benton County Historical Museum. He is a founding member of the Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild based in Corvallis and a former member of Gallery Calapooia in Albany.
Four collections of his work have been compiled in self-published books, including “Some Twenty Odd Images” in 2009, “Desert Dance” in 2010, “Memories, Metaphors, Manifestations” in 2012, and “Illuminations” in 2013. These books can be seen at blurb.com.

Vienna – Behind the Façade
An affectionate look at little-seen parts of this famous city that evoke bygone times.
Vienna is a tourist town; flaunting its well-groomed baroque and Jugendstil architecture and rich cultural offerings. But if one ventures away from the “city on display,” into the districts that rarely see tourists, one finds many areas that have not been appreciably restored or renovated since before the Second World War.
There, one can encounter remnants of the bourgeois opulence of the late 19th and early 20th centuries intermixed with post-war architecture and more modern designs. These scenes, preserved in various states of repair, bear witness to a society and lifestyle that has largely vanished. These things still stand, cloaked with their patina of time, not because they have been maintained, but rather due to lack of resources, reluctance to change, neglect or simply because they were robust and useful enough to survive.
“When I moved to Vienna in the mid-1980s, I became fascinated with these ghosts from the past. I scoured the back streets and the far reaches of the city for them, on my bicycle with my large-format camera strapped to my back. These images span the 30 years I spent there. They show a part of the city that I came to know and love. Vienna is still becoming a modern metropolis. These places, which once embodied the character of the older city and its inhabitants, are gradually being renovated or replaced by newer, more homogeneous designs. Many of these scenes no longer exist, having been demolished or rebuilt in the years since my photographs were made. I look on them with a bittersweet nostalgia.”
Doremus works exclusively in “analog photography,” using large-format cameras, film, and making silver-gelatin prints in the darkroom using traditional techniques. Nothing whatsoever is done using digital technology. His work is exhibited widely and represented in numerous galleries and private collections throughout the United States and Europe.

“Welcome to my world of imagination and surreal photography! My main objective is to test my ability to twist reality while creating believable photographs.Through my work, I strive to transport the viewer into a mysterious, surreal world of imagination. Each image tells a unique story, some inspired by real-life experiences, and I often incorporate humor. Some of my photos also aim to raise awareness about environmental issues, such as global warming.” – David Becker
David Becker is a self-taught photographer living in Eugene, Oregon. He turned to photography after years of working with traditional media, especially Pen and Ink. He now loves to be creative in the digital darkroom, working through photography, drawing, painting, and photo manipulation.

While not taking his role as photographer too seriously, he considers each photograph a celebration, appreciation of life, as well as a moment of worship to the beauty and wonderment of our amazing world. Through the lens of his camera, he sees sacred places and the spirit of the animals and human beings he photographs. His goal is to “capture the moment” to show people something they have never seen before. He sometimes combines images to accomplish this.
“Photography has been a visual diary for me. There are lots of spiritual elements to it … to capturing a moment … a moment that’s here, then gone (and not repeatable ever again). It’s a mysterious way of trying to ‘capturing time’ while time is passing..” Light On…
The show is sponsored by Photography at Oregon.

“The goal of Zen Buddhism, simply stated, is achieving and maintaining the highest mental state in life – equanimity. The road to that lofty ambition is living with simplicity, minimalism, and non-attachment to ego and materialism. It also means living with the awareness that all we really have in our lives is the present moment, referred to as “tada ima”, only now. When that mental state is achieved, it creates a feeling of oneness and connection with the universe, and is the well spring to the inherent joy, happiness, and inner peace within each and every one of us. I have attempted to reveal that mental state visually with this series called “Zenscapes”. My hope is that from your looking at the images I am able to share with you a bit of the peace and joy I felt while making them.” Sam Blair
Sam 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. 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. His mission is to capture “the essence of things” in other cultures, beaches, and the fascinating homo sapien. He is a haiku poet. His poems have been published in multiple literary anthologies and journals. 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.

LightBox Photographic Gallery opens “Photography Happens”, an exhibit by Sarah Abbott and Rachel Wolf, on Saturday, January 2oth. Please join us for the opening Artists’ Reception from 2-6pm. This opening was rescheduled after being cancelled last Saturday because of the weather. We hope everyone is ready to leave the storm behind and spend the afternoon in Astoria at the rescheduled opening Party!
Photography Happens is a collaborative exhibition by Sarah Abbott and Rachel Wolf that explores the ways in which photography has profoundly inspired two individual practices. This exhibition showcases two artists’ very different approaches to their making of photographs, but punctuates their interests in parallel themes of fragmentation, tension between subject and object, disruption on the photographic plane, and concepts of the everyday and perception. Together, Abbott and Wolf engage in a dialogue that transcends the ordinary and challenges the conventional.

Sarah Abbott (she/her) is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Portland Oregon. She earned her BA in Studio Arts with a minor in Psychology from San Francisco State University, and her MFA in Visual Studies from Pacific Northwest College of Art. Together with three MFA colleagues, she co-founded FO(u)RT Collective, an interdisciplinary art collective dedicated to collaboration, critical discourse, and collective exhibitions.
Abbott’s art practice is emphatically centered around photography and the medium’s ability to promote pleasure in seeing everyday surroundings in new ways. Domestic subjects, scenes and situations are captured with an eager and exploratory lens, printed, and oftentimes manipulated. Using photography in tandem with mediums such as collage, sculpture, bookbinding, sewing and embroidery, she experiments with the surface of the printed image to explore what happens when subject and content differ and inject complexity in seemingly simple images of everyday subjects. Abbott currently exhibits locally, nationally, and internationally.
—
Rachel Wolf (she/her) is a professional photographer specializing in camera-less photography, alternative/antique processes, and the creation of immersive environments through light-based installations. Born and raised in Alaska, Wolf’s work is profoundly shaped by the interplay of light and its absence in her surroundings. Her direct encounters with the aurora borealis fueled a deep appreciation for the transcendent qualities of light, serving as both muse and focal point in her artistic practice.
As an educator and speaker, Wolf delights in inspiring others by sharing her passion for light and photography. She champions the collaborative nature of art and its potential for community-building. Wolf is a co-founder of FO(u)RT Collective, a collaborative multi-disciplinary arts group dedicated to critical discourse and creating, curating, and organizing exhibitions and events. Additionally, as an engaged member of The Guild at LightBox Photographic Gallery, Wolf actively contributes to the group’s mission of cultivating an appreciation for diverse photography processes through exhibitions, workshops, and collaborative endeavors.
Wolf’s work has garnered recognition both nationally and internationally, with exhibitions spanning Germany, Hungary, Canada, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Seattle, and Portland. Her photographs are featured in public and private collections. A graduate of Hampshire College (BA) and Pacific Northwest College of Art (MFA), Wolf currently enjoys her creative pursuits in her Portland, OR darkroom.

Clinical depression is a condition that is on a sharp rise with devastating societal and personal costs. The disease is associated with shame, which often becomes a hurdle for those seeking help. The cyclical nature of gradual improvements and backslides can also make depression an exhausting ordeal that can wear out the limited support systems around the afflicted, leaving them isolated. The photographs in this exhibition were taken over one year as I was trying to deal with my depression and propensity to stay house bound by regularly meeting up with friends and family for swimming. My experience is projected onto the people in my community that I leaned on as a support system, and through the lens of the edges of rivers, lakes, and seas we visited together while I was trying to feel better. For me, the water is a place where I have to muster up the courage to step in, submerge myself, and return to shore. It is the place all life on earth came from, but also a place where you can drown.

The phrase “women’s rights are human rights” has been used by champions of women’s causes for over a century. When Hillary Clinton used the phrase in her 1995 speech at the United Nations World Conference on Women in Beijing, it quickly became the rallying cry for the international women’s movement. The message that empowering women ultimately empowers all of humanity resonated with particular fervor on January 21, 2017, when women’s rights advocates organized the first Women’s March on Washington, giving rise to concurrent “sister” marches in major cities in the US and throughout the world. The event supported gender equality and many other important social issues that were expected to suffer under the newly inaugurated US President. The 2017 Women’s March was the largest single-day demonstration in US history, and it has now become an important annual event. The photos in this exhibit were made by three women who participated in the Women’s March in three cities in the Pacific Northwest: Kathy Radie in Seattle, WA, and Pat Rose in Portland, OR, during the inaugural march on January 21, 2017, and Johanna King in Port Townsend, WA, during the first anniversary march on January 20, 2018.
Johanna King is a Portland-based photographer who likes to do contextual portraits of both people and animals. She is a veteran traveler, a serious birder and a natural history buff, pastimes that have provided excellent opportunities for her photography. She spent her working career as a clinical psychologist, and perhaps because of that, she loves to make photographs that have a narrative thread. She wants each of her images to tell a story and to engage the viewer in speculation about why the photographs were made, what is happening and what will happen next. Her work has been shown in a number of galleries in the Pacific Northwest.
Kathy Radie currently splits her time between Oregon and Alaska, two of the many places that have shaped her life view and photographic eye. Her images have found a home in juried art shows, commissions for one percent for the arts, and the permanent collection at the University of Alaska Museum. She studied Fine Art Photography and History of Photography at the University of Iowa. Her work includes landscape, portrait, abstract and street photography. Landscape photography appeals to her introspective self, portrait photography expresses her love of human diversity, her street photography reflects her passion for travel, and her abstract work says “let’s give this a second look.” You may view more of her work on Instagram at www.instagram.com/kathyradie1/.
Pat Rose is a Portland-based photographer whose work includes landscape, street, portrait and botanical photography. She is a retired English as a Second Language teacher who has taught in Saudi Arabia and Turkey, in Austin, Texas, and most recently at Portland State University. Her photographs have been accepted into various juried group exhibitions in several galleries around the country, and she has won many awards for her work. Her landscape photos have been published in two outdoor guidebooks. Pat also writes about photography for Oregon ArtsWatch, the online journal for culture and the arts in the Pacific Northwest. Much of her work can be found on her website at www.patrosephotography.com.

Sam Muller: Walk The Garden
At the turn of 2022 I decided to leave the Vedanta Ashram I had been living at for 9+ years. I had a committed meditation and study practice, and was the manager (abott) caring for the grounds and facilities. I then was free to follow my heart which led me to the Portland Japanese Garden which renewed my meditation and study practices in a refreshing and profound way. What is IT that has inspired me to “Walk The Garden” 21 times in the past year? For me IT has been an aesthetic experience as I have come to see and feel the spirit of the architecture and the love and care of an envisioned environment–a microcosm–of Harmony and Beauty that regards Nature as sacred. I am very enthusiastic to offer 11 exposures in Black & White Prints, and 10 in Color. And I invite You to “WALK THE GARDEN” with me.

Afraid/Not Afraid examines how women live with an ever-present threat of violence and the feeling of being unsafe in their world. Gender violence, sexual stereotypes, and the portrayal of women in the media and popular culture feed and perpetuate this fear in our society. This collaborative photo-based installation explores vulnerability and the artist’s relationship to it as women. The work looks at the emotional side of this subject and how these forces shape the lives and behavior of women, often in subtle ways, that become ingrained and normalized as part of their worldview.
In this immersive installation, the viewer becomes the voyeur, peeping through an exterior window of a house before entering the space. The exhibition combines projected images, large photographic fabric panels and sound. The images reflect the relationship between being watched and objectified and how women present their identities to the world. The photographs and projections on semi-transparent layers combine and interplay as the viewer moves through the piece, building an intimate space for reflection.
The artists Jan Cook and Pamela Chipman created this installation together in an artist residency in Portland, OR. They are white cisgender women whose own experiences and concerns with safety and consent propelled them to make this body of work. In confronting this underlying fear, they want to call attention to and to create discussion and change around these issues.
Jan Cook is a Seattle artist who works with photo-based imagery to examine the ideas that run through our collective unconscious and tie us together in our humanity. Pamela Chipman is a Portland, Oregon based visual artist who explores themes of memory, domesticity and femininity. She creates work that speaks to the history, strengths and struggles of women in our culture.
“This work is hauntingly beautiful. I find it especially powerful to experience and contemplate in this moment, after #MeToo was supposed to have changed things yet we find misogyny and violence and threats of unsafety linger and linger.”
– Author Lois Leveen, PhD

When truly pressed about what makes Oregon more wondrous than other states, I always return to water. Specifically, fresh water. Despite a dry summertime climate in most of our state, we are blessed with a stunning array of rivers, lakes, streams, and waterfalls that are unequaled in other places. These waters evolve, shift, narrow, expand, and most importantly, they nourish. They are our lifeline. Without them, our beautiful state would be barren.

These images were shot in August 2022. The wheat harvest was for the most part finished. What remained were empty fields and the tracks of the harvesting machinery. The area is rolling hills with the harvest machine tracks as level as possible. These tracks leave a wonderful pattern of curves.
I shot planning for black and white images, and toned them in processing. I visualize my photographs with an eye for graphic composition, impact, and interest. My intent is to let the viewer smile, think, and appreciate a vision of the world that may be unique to them.
This series of images is a collection of toned Black & White landscape photographs. I shoot “real world” images and process them to manage perspective, color, tone, composition, and the final feel of the print.
