Timeline is a real-time exploration of our changing world through the photographic lens—a living, evolving archive built by documentarians, photojournalists, and street photographers capturing what is happening right now in the places they call home, documenting a nation in flux and creating a visual record for next generations.
The Portland, Oregon cohort of Timeline, led by artist and educator Joni Kabana, invites photographers to engage with a city shaped by environmental consciousness, social movements, and deeply rooted local communities. Participants will document Portland’s evolving cultural and political landscape, creating real-time images that reflect both resilience and uncertainty in a region known for questioning systems and imagining alternatives.
Under Kabana’s guidance, the cohort will develop a nuanced body of work that honors lived experience and place—contributing a vital perspective to the national Timeline archive and expanding the visual conversation around a city in continual negotiation with its identity.
The first meeting will be held via Zoom on Sunday, February 15, 2-4:30 pm PST. It will be an introductory session, during which Joni will discuss her work and the participants will share theirs. The group will meet for a photowalk at Albina Press, 5012 Hawthorne Blvd. in Portland, on Sunday, March 22, 3-5 pm PST. Subsequent sessions will be scheduled by Joni and the group.
Joni Kabana is a visual artist who is most happy when she is deep into a world which is unfamiliar to her. Her body of work spans continents and cultures with a primary focus on portraiture. Her belief is that our best portraits come if we “photograph thoughts, not faces” and her approach focuses on the psychology, both with the subject and the photographer, that arises when attempting to capture the essence of a person. Joni teaches for several institutions and organizes her own portraiture and international photography workshops.
Street portraiture is her signature teaching area, helping many overcome fear of approaching random subjects in addition to “crossing cultural divides” by enabling photographers (new to the craft or experienced) to create authentic portrayals of brief or in-depth encounters. You can find Joni roaming backroads afar from home or making pictures in Eastern Oregon where she nestles in an isolated cabin.

Renowned photographer Darryl Baird presents Continuum, a retrospective exhibit of his work from the last three decades. Included in the exhibit are photographs from his series Transcending Loss – (1995-97), Aqueous Humor (1997-98), Re-Picturing the Picturesque (2005-08), Post Mortem (2008-09), Pictorialist Drawing (2009-19), and Glass Worlds (2025-Present).
Darryl Baird: “I’ve been an ardent student of history all my life, but it was the history of photography that truly captured (for me) the essence of how history informs and directs our actions. My introduction to photo-history led me to find early photographers, and the periods that they were attached to, like Pictorialism, Modernism, and even Post-Modernism. As my research and reading of these periods continued, I felt the urge to explore them as a means of personal expression. Looking back at the images in this exhibition, I can see these early aesthetic patterns emerge, like chapters in a book… my book.”
Originally from Dallas, Texas Darryl Baird has an over fifty-year career as a photographer and educator. His initial education was at the United States Naval School of Photography in Pensacola, Florida. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Broadcast-Film Arts from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
He worked for twenty years as a commercial architectural, advertising, and editorial photographer. He left the commercial field for graduate school, first in a doctoral program in Aesthetic Studies at the University of Texas at Dallas and later earned a Master of Fine Arts in Photography at the University of North Texas.
Darryl is an Emeritus Professor of Art at the University of Michigan in Flint, where he created and taught graphic design and photography programs. He led the department as chair of the Communication and Visual Arts department for a critical transition into a combined discipline.
His work is included in the collections of the Detroit Institute of Art, Museum of Fine Art in Houston Texas, and the University of Michigan Museum of Art in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Since retiring in Oregon, he has been included in two exhibitions at Blue Sky Gallery in Portland (PNW Drawers), a solo exhibition at the Performing Art Center in Newport, Oregon, and awarded an artist residency at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area.

“I have been drawn to the stark, unforgiving terrain of Death Valley since my first visit in the 1990s. In the midst of this otherwise rugged and unforgiving landscape lie pockets of surprising softness: Dunes. These lie baking in the blistering sun for the most part, but in the glancing light of sunrise and sunset, they take on an unexpected voluptuousness and sensuality. Their strong forms and many moods, in my view, are rendered more distinctly and powerfully with my chosen “instrument”: Black-and-white.
I usually approach the landscape with patience, and introspection, but capturing the fleeting instants created by the moving light on the dunes requires working as quickly as I can with a 4×5 camera and a tripod. I have been fortunate enough to have been rewarded generously. I believe that the forms and textures in nature resonate strongly with our most basic natures, demonstrating a kinship that we often overlook in our modern existence. I offer them in this spirit.”
Doremus Scudder began photographing seriously in his early twenties, eventually stepping up to, and mastering the techniques of, the view camera. He now works exclusively in black-and-white, using large-format cameras and film, and crafts silver-gelatin prints in the darkroom. Nothing is done using digital technology.
Within this medium, he uses varied subject matter, careful organization, and a broad and expressive palette of tonalities to create images of strong form and character. 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 eloquently in the language of light.
Doremus Scudder’s work is exhibited widely and represented in numerous galleries and private collections throughout the United States and Europe. More of his work can be seen at his website: www.DoremusScudder.com

LightBox Photographic Gallery opens Paris on Film, an exhibit by Marc Mcvey, on Saturday, March 14th from 4-7pm. “I explored the streets of Paris, as I’ve done many times before, but this time through the perspective of a 50mm lens on a forty plus year old Leica. Often called the ‘normal’ lens for its similarity to human vision, this focal length allowed me to act as a quiet observer, while isolating the intimate moments that define the city. I embraced a slower, more intentional process in order to catch a glimpse of the timeless character of Paris. Shooting on film allowed me to accentuate light, texture and grain, and display the full beauty of fiber gelatin prints. ~ Marc McVey
Marc McVey is a photographer living in Woodland, WA. He has been photographing his travels for over 30 years, looking for what he calls “accidental moments” and pairings that create their own narrative. His work has been sold in galleries in San Diego, La Jolla, Los Angeles, Vancouver, and Astoria. Marc McVey is a proud member of the LightBox Photographic Gallery Guild.

Portland, Oregon

Just about every Saturday for two years, Charlie, my dog, and I went out to the Sandy River Delta to catch the rising morning light. Well, he was more interested in critters, but I relished the enchantment that was sunrise bringing a glow onto the landscape: the trees, the water, the grasses, to all about me.
The gift of light upon the land was that I could bring it home and let it light up the world of my studio space.
My intent in working with this material was to touch upon the awe I felt. To let others feel the beauty.

Visiting Dublin was already on Rockoff’s bucket list when he arrived in May 2024, unbeknownst to him coinciding with the inaugural Dublin Street Photography Festival. Inspired by the city, its sometimes eccentric but generally warm and friendly inhabitants, the festival itself, and the friendships formed with photographers Brian Sparks and Tony O’Shea, he captured analog images that presented themselves as he explored the city’s sights. The experience was so enjoyable that he returned the following May, again limiting himself to Dublin city and the coastal towns of Dublin County.
Shot on film, the photographs are unplanned and instinctive – made, as Rockoff puts it, during “two springtime holidays when photographing on the streets was a passion.”
“Again limited to Dublin city and county coastal towns, these photographs are my visual souvenirs.” — Steve Rockoff

Discover the art of capturing movement, emotion, and light in this immersive three-part dance photography workshop with professional photographer Fritz Liedtke, held at Portland’s celebrated BodyVox Dance Center.

Designed for photographers of all levels, this workshop combines the excitement of working with professional dancers with the technical and creative guidance you need to take your images to the next level.

Part 1: Preparation — Self-Guided Materials (Delivered the week before class)
Before the in-person session, you’ll receive a set of resources to help you prepare. These materials will cover foundational concepts and a host of inspiration, so you arrive ready to make the most of your time in the studio.
Part 2: On Location — 6 Hours of Shooting (Saturday)
Spend the day photographing professional dancers in a variety of settings, both in the beautiful BodyVox studio and in the surrounding environment. Fritz will be your guide all through the day, both demonstrating concepts, and working with you one-on-one to help refine your vision and imagery. You’ll learn how to:
• Work with natural light and artificial light, including flash and modifiers
• Direct and pose dancers to highlight form, grace, and drama
• Anticipate and capture the decisive moment when movement and emotion align
• Choose locations, wardrobe, and styling that enhance your vision
• Build confidence in working with models and performers
If you want to work with flash, you are welcome to bring your own gear, and Fritz will help you refine your approach to artificial lighting. The goal is to help you explore multiple approaches, experiment creatively, and walk away with a portfolio of dynamic images.
Part 3: Virtual Editing & Image Review (Follow-Up Session)
Several days after the shoot, we’ll gather online for an editing and critique session. You’ll receive constructive feedback on your photos, learn editing techniques to make your images shine, and discuss strategies for building a strong body of dance or performance photography.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll not only have a deeper understanding of lighting, timing, and storytelling in dance photography, but also the confidence to work with dancers, models, and performers in future projects. Whether you’re looking to broaden your portrait and event photography skills or simply want the chance to create extraordinary images in a supportive, collaborative setting, this workshop is designed to be both challenging and inspiring.

With Fritz’s hands-on guidance and immediate feedback, you’ll learn to create portraits that reflect your unique artistic vision.
On a personal level, Fritz also guides you through exercises that help you break through emotional barriers, refine your artistic vision, listen to your intuition, and discover the poetry within portraiture.
In this workshop, we cover the following—and much more:
• Researching and scouting locations that are suitable for portraiture
• Using model releases and building professional relationships with your talent
• Studying the work of master portrait photographers to emulate and expand upon their techniques
• Building rapport with subjects and posing them with clarity and ease
• Finding and shaping natural light to create evocative portraits
• Using portable artificial lighting (flash) effectively and creatively on-location
• Editing efficiently and beautifully in Lightroom and other software
• Developing a cohesive portrait projects or series
• Identifying and overcoming fears and limitations that hinder your portrait photography
You will leave Santa Fe not only with striking new images and new friendships, but with fresh insight, confidence, and new ways of seeing and understanding people through portraiture.
