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.

Photography impacts how we see and experience the world. Most skateboarders are men, and most images we see of skaters are of men, and maybe the occasional tokenized women. There is nothing biologically special about men that makes them more likely to pick up or stick with skating. The barriers are cultural. That means they can be dismantled. By placing large scale images of skaters who are not cis-men in spaces shared by skaters and non-skaters, this show seeks to increase representation, and to chip away at the skate scene’s patriarchal culture.
The photos in this show each feature a different nontraditional skater. Most were shot at Pier Park in St Johns. They were taken using a variety of analogue cameras, including Canon AE-1, reloadable-disposable cameras, an Olympus Pen FT, and more. A bonus mini exibit of instant photos is included, featuring skaters from an event hosted by Queer Skate PDX. Skaters posed with their friends, and decorated each instant shot with messages of justice and empowerment. Their energy and their words are a gift to us all.

“I don’t talk to my house plants or play for them a Fiscella piano composition. That would presume an aging Philodendron can be reflective as an old man facing his end.
But as I wander through the quiet muse of a redwood grove or observe the blanket of canopy embracing an old bridge, I find myself sharing with them an awareness: That we are each of us a life possessed, one brief moment trailing in the sweep of infinite time and space.
These photographs, a work in progress, are about more than seeing a tree or a leaf. They are about seeing ourselves, in connection with the world around us. They are portraits; profiles of community, of family, of souls wrapped in the fleeting grace of being.
And I believe they are aware of that single moment they inhabit, as we, too, should be. And that in each of these images there exists a willfulness of being – a life aware of itself.
Look for it. You’ll see.”
MZ Taylor

Eksod is an immersive sound and visual art experience offering an intimate perspective of a young Albanian woman’s attempt to emigrate to the United States. All the sounds and prints were recorded and photographed while the creator, Fernando Valls, was living in Albania recording sound for other film projects. The experience is akin to a short film where the cinematography has been replaced with still photographs. A walk through the old barge building of Zidell Yards, which is usually inaccessible to the public, is worth the trip on its own and serves as a perfect backdrop to fully envelope the audience as you make your way through the installation.

LightBox Photographic Gallery opens four exhibits featuring the Columbia River as their subject on Saturday, April 9, 2022. In the downstairs gallery, Robbie McClaran exhibits “The Great River of the West”. Beginning in 2013, and working with an antique eight-by-ten large format camera, Robbie McClaran photographed along the entire 1250-mile length of the Columbia River, from its source in British Columbia to its confluence with the Pacific Ocean. “The Great River of the West”, explores the River’s current cultural and economic landscape as well as environmental alterations. The prints in the exhibit are all silver gelatin contact prints, handprinted from the original negatives. This project has been supported by grants from the Oregon Arts Commission, the Ford Family Foundation and the Regional Arts and Culture Council.
Upstairs in the gallery Ken Hochfeld opens two exhibits with the Columbia River as their subject. “Pages: The Majestic Columbia River”, celebrates the majesty of the Columbia River with photographs that recognize its significance while remembering it as an existential heritage of those who were here long before the first settlers arrived. In “Small Communities of the Lower Columbia River” Ken begins to examine the places and the people who live there. The communities of the Lower Columbia on the Oregon side along Highway 30 and on the Washington side near Highway 4 west of Longview, are photographed for there character and history.
Additionally, downstairs in the gallery, photographer and retired scientist Pat Welle explores native habitats of the Columbia River Estuary that runs 146 miles from Bonneville Dam east to the Pacific Ocean. It is a critical, final reach for migrating Pacific Salmon – and undammed and tidally-influenced stretch where salmon feed, grow, and adapt to a salt-water environment. There is a rich history here and human influences have significantly reduced salmon habitats. This image collection explores these complex estuary habitats, and the people and projects working to restore them.
LightBox opens these shows on Saturday, April 9th with extended hours from Noon-7pm. Complete show info is on the LightBox website at http://lightbox-photographic.com/shows/.

Transcendent Portraiture photography workshop with Fritz Liedtke

Online Photography Workshop

https://santafeworkshops.com/product/transcendent-portraiture/
Portland photographer and artist Fritz Liedtke will be leading Transcendent Portraits, a photography workshop hosted by Santa Fe Workshops in April.
Great portraiture is about more than the right lens and the right lighting. It’s about having a vision and connecting with your subject to make images that transcend the simple headshot. In this workshop you will fine-tune your vision and technique to approach portraiture like an artist, and create gorgeous, surprising, beautiful, atmospheric images.
Fine-art and commercial photographer Fritz Liedtke leads you first through the “why” of portraiture and then through the “how to” as we explore—and learn from—the work of master artists. In addition to learning how to develop an authentic rapport with your subjects, you discover ways of posing and lighting them to look their best.
Through live instructor demonstrations and discussions, we will cover multiple methods for finding people to photograph, directing and posing our subjects, working with natural light (and modifying it to your advantage), working with artificial lighting, and combining the two. Demonstrations also include post-processing of images to create the final look you originally envisioned. In this way, you understand the complete process of creating gorgeous portraits, from start to finish.
Local participants may be able to attend the live photo shoot demonstrations in person.
Weekly assignments help you gain fluidity and confidence in your work, and by experimenting with portraiture post-processing, you accentuate the mood, feel, and style that best expresses your vision. You finish the workshop with new experience and insights—not to mention stunning images you can be proud of.
This online class runs April 5-22, 2022, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30-1:30.

The PhotoZone Gallery presents a group exhibition by the PhotoZone membership as well as photographs by our two featured artists Susie Morrill and Glen Newland.
The exhibition takes place at The Midtown, 1600 Pearl St, Eugene, OR 97401. The show is available for viewing 8am to 6pm 7 days a week. The Midtown is a beautiful new venue for art exhibitions and is the home of the Eugene Ballet and many other arts organizations.
Our featured artists both explore images with important messages of social commentary.
Susie Morrill’s body of work is from her trips to Cuba that began in 2011. She says, “My work explores the humanity of the people and their human condition. The upper- and middle-class citizens manage in a troubled economic system, but the lower income people really struggle. The American embargo seriously impacts the Cuban people. Despite their lack of resources, the Cuban people remain a proud, hardworking, and happy people. To know Cuba is to love it.”
Glenn Newland is our other featured artist. About his series “Invisible,” Newland says “The most compelling subject (from my perspective) is my fellow humans, as they portray themselves to, and interact with, the world around them. Sometimes the people I photograph have been marginalized by the people around them and/or the culture and the society of which they are an integral part. Ideally my images respect the dignity of the subject while revealing some truth.”
The PhotoZone Gallery is a diverse group of individuals dedicated to exhibiting fine art photography. This includes traditional and alternative processes that run the gamut of subject matter from experimental, to straight landscape imagery, to documentary photography.

Join us for a virtual artist talk with Jess T. Dugan as they discuss our current exhibition, To Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender And Gender Nonconforming Older Adults as well as their upcoming projects. For over 5 years, photographer Jess T. Dugan and social worker Vanessa Fabbre traveled throughout the United States seeking subjects whose lived experiences exist within the complex intersections of gender identity, age, race, ethnicity, sexuality, socioeconomic class, and geographic location. The resulting portraits and narratives provide a nuanced view into the struggles and joys of growing older as a transgender person and offer a poignant reflection on what it means to live authentically despite seemingly insurmountable odds.
To Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Older Adults is an exhibition organized by Barrett Barrera Projects. The exhibition and talk are supported in part by the Oregon Cultural Trust.

The “In Memoriam” show is meant as a way to honor, not just the Delta Campground nature trail but, all those sacred spaces that mean so much to people who go there to refresh their spirits. Fire decimated many such places and this project was part of my grieving process.
I first discovered the little ½ mile nature walk at the Delta Campgrounds in September of 2017. I was spending a weekend with a couple of friends on a “girls’ weekend” at a cabin on the McKenzie River. We looked for an easy hike and I, as always, took my cameras. The campground was closed, due to the fires near Cougar Reservoir so we had to walk in and while walking the loop, we discovered the nature trail. Despite the fact that the air was full of smoke, I was entranced, such a quiet magic place! What normally would have been a 15-20 minute walk took an hour at least as I photographed with digital infrared and my iPhone camera. Despite the smoke, I left rejuvenated.
Over the last few years, I have returned time and again to photograph this spot during different seasons, always coming away with a sense of peace and some beautiful photos as a bonus. My last trip, January of 2021, was a sad one, as it was after the Holiday Farm Fire that engulfed much of the forest on the McKenzie River banks. My heart hurt for the residents of the area that had lost, in some instances, everything. I felt that we needed to go witness the devastation for ourselves. I was afraid of what I would find when we went to Delta Campground. My fears were confirmed. It was cold and the road to the campground was closed. These are all of the photos that I could manage before sadly turning back to the car to go home.
In the spring I will head up there again to witness the forest’s renewal.

The Immigrant Story and the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education invite you to visit “To Bear Witness – Extraordinary Lives,” our newest multimedia exhibition, opening December 9, 2021, at the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education. This exhibition celebrates the “Extraordinary Lives” of men and women who have endured unthinkable cruelty elsewhere in the world, only to resume productive lives in their new homes in Oregon.
“To Bear Witness” takes its name from the words of the late Nobel Prize-winning writer, activist and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, who emphatically proclaimed, “For the dead and the living, we must bear witness.” And so we present this collection of profiles of survivors of the Nazi Holocaust, genocides in Europe, Africa and Asia and unimaginable atrocities of war. They are united by the troubling truth that human despotry sometimes knows no bounds. But each is also a portrait of courage and human resilience. We present these stories in hopes that they will inspire, inform and possibly instruct.
“To Bear Witness” includes 14 profiles from Myanmar, Bosnia, Rwanda, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan, Tibet, Nazi-occupied Hungary, Germany, and Austria.
The Immigrant Story is proud to join with the lauded Portland photographer Jim Lommasson, building upon his project, “Stories of Survival,” originally produced in collaboration with the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center. His work focuses on objects survivors were able to carry with them on their perilous journeys. From his photographs of the objects, the participants respond with handwritten testimonies — stories, memories, poems, drawings. Their stories speak to the luminous inner life of these ordinary things and testify to the unspeakable anguish of lives forever left behind. Ordinary objects thus become sacred objects.
Also on display are five short docu-series films by well-known video producers from the Pacific Northwest, in collaboration with NW Documentary. These visceral personal stories emphasize the individual humanity of genocide survivors, forcing viewers to look beyond cold facts and statistics and confront the immense emotional, spiritual and physical violence that genocide inflicts.
They have so much to tell us. And so, we must Bear Witness.

Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman will be showing a selection of infrared photographs from his series “Sky Palettes” at the Art in the Valley Gallery.
Bergeman said he started seeing cloud patterns in a new light during the pandemic shutdown of 2020, when his “travels” were limited to walks around his residential Corvallis neighborhood.
“I was struck by the fascinating canvas overhead, especially the high-flying, feathery cirrus clouds, so I began taking my infrared camera along on my walks,” he said. “Since then, as my travels have widened, I’ve become a card-carrying member of the Cloud Appreciation Society (a real thing–look it up!) and have continued to look for compositions in the sky.”
Called the “patron goddess of idle men” by the Greek playwright Aristophanes, clouds have been an object of study and fascination for centuries, but it wasn’t until the early 19th century that cloud spotters began to apply a scientific rigor to classifying them. This has resulted in a complex nomenclature that groups clouds–from the fluffy to the fleecy–into 10 genera (or families), each with several “species” and associated “varieties.”
“What fascinates me most is the cloud genus known as cirrus, which is Latin for fiber or hair,” Bergeman said. “They form at the highest altitudes and are composed of ice crystals rather than water vapor, which gives them a silky, semi-transparent structure.”
The genus cirrus includes five different species and four different varieties, all based on appearance, but because they are constantly evolving as they flit across the sky, positive identification by amateurs can be tricky.
Bergeman counts himself an amateur: “It turns out I am better at photographing these wispy clouds than I am at identifying them, so I often make up my own names based on what the cloud shapes suggest. By using an infrared-sensitive camera, I can isolate them against the sky and dramatize their shapes, lines and movement.”
A retired instructor of photography and journalism at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany, OR, Bergeman has been exhibiting his photography throughout the Northwest for more than 30 years. 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. He has been exploring the infrared spectrum since 2015.

Online show at photozonegallery.com
https://www.photozonegallery.com/
In February, the PhotoZone Gallery will present group exhibition by the PhotoZone membership and images of social commentary by our featured artist Glenn Newland. About his series “Invisible,” Newland says “Sometimes the people I photograph have been marginalized by the people around them and/or the culture and the society of which they are an integral part. The most compelling subject (from my perspective) is my fellow humans, as they portray themselves to and interact with, the world around them.”
PhotoZone Gallery is a diverse group of individuals dedicated to exhibiting fine art photography. This includes traditional and alternative processes that run the gamut of subject matter from experimental, to straight landscape imagery to documentary photography.

Same Difference marks the 2022 iteration of Eugene Darkroom Group’s annual member’s show. In this body of work, member artists were encouraged to reflect on the idiomatic concept of “Same Difference” and the many ways that this phrase can be interpreted and expressed. Though all artists were restricted to use the same paper and silver gelatin medium, the prompt challenges photographers to look for difference wherever it lies and interpret the ways that these differences manifest against the sameness of the final presented forms in the show. In doing so, the individual pieces combine to form a conceptual exploration both on the nature of uniqueness in art and also the idea of persistence of self during times of extreme change.
Eugene Darkroom Group is a 501(c)(3) non-profit in Eugene, Oregon, dedicated to preserving and promoting film photography. They are committed to revitalizing the medium by investing in the photographic talent of the people in the Eugene area. They provide a thoroughly equipped darkroom for film photographers and accessible education about the medium to the community.
Eugene Darkroom Group’s community darkroom and education program are located at Maude Kerns Art Center. Learn more about the group, membership, classes, open darkroom hours, and more at EUGdarkroom.org

Agnès Varda, who was born in Belgium in 1928s and died in Paris in 2019, was one of the leading figures of the French New Wave. She was a student at the Sorbonne and the École du Louvre and later became a photographer and film maker. Her first film, La Pointe was shot in a distinct visual style with a documentary feel, alternating between two narratives: a young couple examining their troubled marriage and a fishing village dealing with its collective problems. Varda’s still photography sometimes inspired her subsequent motion pictures. She maintained a fluid interrelationship between photographic and cinematic forms: “I take photographs, or I make films,” she said. “Or I put films in the photos, or photos in the films.”
Faces Places (2017)
In 2017, Varda co-directed Faces Places with the artist JR (the pseudonym of a French photographer and street artist whose identity is unconfirmed). They teamed up to co-direct this enchanting documentary/road movie.
It follows Varda and JR traveling around rural France, creating portraits of the people they come across. Varda was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for this film, making her the oldest person to be nominated for a competitive Oscar. Although the nomination was her first, Varda did not regard it as important, stating: “There is nothing to be proud of, but happy. Happy because we make films to love. We make films so that you love the film.”

For the past twenty-four years, collector Bill Rhoades of Madras, Oregon, has donated hundreds of examples of Northwest art to the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, including paintings, prints, drawings, sculpture, and Native American art. In recent years, Rhoades has turned his attention almost exclusively to photography. Organized by curator Jonathan Bucci in collaboration with Rhoades, the exhibition presents a range of Northwest photographs donated to the Hallie Ford Museum of Art by the collector.
The photography focus within the museum’s Bill Rhoades Collection has grown extensively in recent years and explores the history of Northwest Photography through some of the most significant regional photographers and photo groups of the past one hundred years. The early art photography movement had important contributors in the Pacific Northwest, including Edward Curtis and Imogen Cunningham in Washington, both represented in this exhibition, and Myra Wiggins and Lily White in Oregon. The exhibition also includes work by photographers from the Farm Security Administration (a 1930s WPA-era federal project that included Dorothea Lange, Russell Lee, and Minor White, among others), the Advanced Interim Workshop (a Portland based group led by Minor White that began in 1959), Blue Sky Gallery (founded in 1975 as a venue for the newest ideas in contemporary photography), and the Portland Photographic Workshop (a group formed in 1982 by Stu Levy and Stewart Harvey to improve craft and aesthetics). In addition to photographers who fit into this historical framework, the collection holds work by other influential photographers such as Mary Randlett, Michael Kenna, and Robert Adams, as well as a range of contemporary photographers from the Northwest.
The following photographers’ work is included in the show:
• Robert Adams
• Max Allara
• Ray Atkeson
• Mick Briscoe
• Marsha Burns
• Jeffrey Conley
• Imogen Cunningham
• Edward Curtis
• Peter de Lory

These images are abstracts from our built environment “infrastructure” featuring the likes of utility meters, parking stripes, manhole covers, and car bumpers in their utilitarian and/or incidental surroundings.
The viewer is invited to consider the objects in the photograph as compositional elements… rather than being the subject of the photograph per se. In my approach the intended subject is the composition itself, comprised of the geometrical, texture, color relationships, and cultural associations of the various objects. The photograph is an “abstract” or sample witnessed from a particular point of view.
These photographs were taken locally with an iPhone 6s in the Eugene Willamette Street Corridor and on trips to Montana, Guatemala, Oaxaca, Chiapas, and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
Growing up in Montana, I was first introduced to photography and darkroom work by my grandmother when I was about age eight. In college I managed the darkroom in my dorm while narrowly missing the popular photography courses taught at MIT by Minor White. In the mid-1970’s I began working with large format cameras and produced a series of one-of-a-kind 8×10 color Polaroid images taken with a home-built view camera. Having recently retired as an instrumentation scientist at the University of Oregon, I have renewed my photographic efforts, but now using an iPhone as my primary tool. The phone is kind of like a miniature view camera with a wide-angle lens. It is appealing because of its small, inconspicuous size making it perfect for international travel and spontaneity. Modern ink-jet printers capture the crisp, brilliant colors that drew me to the color Polaroid medium of days gone by.

The Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild is taking its 12th biennial exhibit, “Finding the Light,” on the road to the Umpqua Valley Arts Center in Roseburg.
An abridged edition of the guild’s 80-print exhibit last fall at Oregon State University, the UVA show features 21 photographs that interpret the opening lines of Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman’s 2021 Presidential Inauguration poem:
When day comes we ask ourselves where can we find light in the never-ending shade?
The color and black-and-white photographs in the show depict light in its myriad forms–on the landscape, in the heavens, along city streets, and in the dark of night; as well as inside ancient churches, abandoned buildings and within the minds of the artist.
The Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild was formed more than 30 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 Willfulness of Being (Life Aware of Itself)
I don’t talk to my house plants or play for them a Fiscella piano composition. That would presume an aging Philodendron can be reflective as an old man facing his end. But as I wander through the quiet muse of a redwood grove or observe the blanket of canopy embracing an old bridge, I find myself sharing with them an awareness: That we are each of us a life possessed, one brief moment trailing in the sweep of infinite time and space.
These photographs, a work in progress, are about more than seeing a tree or a leaf. They are about seeing ourselves, in connection with the world around us. They are portraits; profiles of community, of family, of souls wrapped in the fleeting grace of being.
And I believe they are aware of that single moment they inhabit, as we, too, should be. And that in each of these images there exists a willfulness of being – a life aware of itself.

To Bear Witness – Extraordinary Lives features photographs, profiles, and short films that capture the stories of individuals who left their homelands for safe haven in Oregon. These brave men and women, born in places as far-flung as Austria, Bosnia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Germany, Hungary, Rwanda, Sudan, Syria, and Tibet, witnessed the atrocities of war, genocide, and the Holocaust. Each profile reveals the resilience of the survivor and the generosity of the many who provided assistance along the way.
The exhibition is a partnership between OJMCHE and The Immigrant Story, in collaboration with Jim Lommasson and NW Documentary, and presents a multimedia exhibition focused on the lives of these 14 refugees.
Founded in 2017 by Sankar Raman, who immigrated to the U.S. from India, The Immigrant Story is a volunteer-run nonprofit with a mission to foster empathy and build a more inclusive community by sharing stories of immigrants and refugees who often overcame tremendous odds to reach the United States. Sankar, who has experienced violent, racially-motivated attacks, founded The Immigrant Story in response to a Kansas shooting in February 2017 that killed one Indian American man and injured two others.
The Immigrant Story has collaborated with Portland photographer Jim Lommasson, building upon his project, Stories of Survival, originally produced in collaboration with the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center. His work focuses on objects survivors were able to carry with them on their perilous journeys. From his photographs of the objects, the participants respond with handwritten testimonies — stories, memories, poems, drawings. Their stories speak to the luminous inner life of these ordinary things and testify to the unspeakable anguish of lives forever left behind.
Jim Lommasson is a freelance photographer and author living in Portland and is a recipient of the Dorothea Lange–Paul Taylor Prize from The Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University.

Have you ever seen a Cooper’s Hawk having lunch, a Green Heron catch a frog, an Otter sitting on a log eating a fish, an immature Bald Eagle sunning itself on an old snag, a Great Blue Heron nest building, or a Marsh Wren that seldom appears from the thicket singing to you in the wetlands. These are the sights Greg sees and photographs on his walks and he will share all these wonderful things with you in his new exhibit.
Most people assume that a photographer waits for something to happen with all the patience in the world and there are nature photographers that do, but Greg wanders always looking for the tree, the insect, the mushroom, the bird, the flower that he thinks will take a great photograph.
Greg, an award-winning nature and wildlife photographer, may argue over the word, accidental, if you are out looking for photo options is it an accident that you find good photo opportunities? He would probably say it was the gift to find surprises that can turn into amazing pictures.
The best example this year of an amazing surprise was being on the pedestrian & bike bridge over the Willamette River at Valley River and seeing the diving waterfowl, Common Mergansers, swimming towards the bridge. Female and immature Common Mergansers have a burnt orange head with feathers flaring out behind and a long thin orange beak. An interesting bird to look at but these diving birds arch their back and are gone under the water. This time though Greg was in the right place on a sunny day with clear water so that he could see and photograph down through the water as the Mergansers swam acrobatically under the water to catch fish.

In this developing portfolio, “My Name is Journey,” I am trying to express that we humans live on an aquifer of dreams, that our consciousness is more fluid than we know, that time folds and flows back on itself, that memory is the river upon which the boat of the soul drifts at the mercy of those “two or three great and simple images in whose presence my heart first opened.”
I am being pushed forward by mysterious forces from the past. Something wants to be said that hasn’t been said yet, and I am speaking for them. That is my job.
This is my effort to understand the past within the changeable weather of the present.

This holy pouch called the Bukhechick, was made by my mother in Iraq and blessed with holy water at Lalish temple. When praying, Yazidi face and kiss this holy pouch. The peacock feather represents the Yazidi Peacock Angel. Inside the Buckechick there are Barats (sphere shapes made of holy Lalish temple soil). Each one of these Barats represents certain spiritual saints in the Yazidi religion. The Barats in this particular Buckechick symbolize Yazidi Saints.

For Portland Textiles Month, Jim Lommasson has assembled works in which participants chose textiles to carry to their new homes in the U.S.
Jim Lommasson’s “What We Carried” photo and writing projects begin with a personal object that the participant carried with them on their long and difficult journey from their homelands to the U.S. Objects include a family photo, a bible, a Quran, a doll, dominoes, a teacup or a serving dish from family celebrations, to the clothes that they were wearing when they fled their homes.
Lommasson asks participants to allow him to photograph those few items that they were able to carry with them to the U.S. He asks 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 of much more than “the object.” The stories are profound and speak to our common humanity. The luminous inner life of these ordinary things is a testament to the unspeakable anguish of a life left forever behind. Ordinary objects become sacred. The photo and writings become a new artifact.
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.
For Portland TextileX Month, Lommasson has assembled works in which participants chose textiles to carry to their new homes in the U.S.

California’s official state ghost-town is Bodie, a former gold mining town between Yosemite National Park and the Nevada border. Founded during the California gold rush and inhabited until 1942 it is preserved just as it was when it was abandoned. At the inhospitable altitude of over 8,000 feet in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Bodie had a population of over 10,000 at its peak in about 1880. Eugene photographer Bill Haynes has captured the essence of this haunting remnant of Western history. The collection artistically displays the remaining buildings and their contents just as they existed when the last residents left.
In addition to “Bodie”, Haynes will show another smaller series entitled “Water” consisting of abstract images of water. Colorful and provocative these images challenge the imagination in a pleasant and soothing way.
