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

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

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.

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.

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”.

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.

Photographic artists Friderike Heuer and Ken Hochfeld have been photographing the Columbia River Gorge for years, often during shared excursions, drawn to its unparalleled beauty. In contrast to many contemporary photographers who long to capture pristine and uninhabited landscapes, the views of yore, both feel that the way the land looks now deserves documentation of an equally tangible and emotional beauty.
Hochfeld has photographed the river and the land in a traditional manner with an eye on what has remained constant and a nod to historical photography in the Gorge, but also with openness to the existence of human activity. Heuer bases her photomontages on decades of photographing the landscape of the Gorge, stressing the environmental and political impact of settler activity on tribal land.
Both bodies of work were developed as a joint project, informed by intense love for the region and shared hopefulness that repair is at least partially underway.

LightBox Photographic Gallery opens Julie Moore’s exhibit, Luminosity: an elemental conversation on Saturday, September 9th with an opening artist reception from 4 – 7 p.m. The exhibit showcases contemporary lumens and exclusive hand painted poly photogravures.
The images conjure up delicate communications between the pieces of art to each other and the elements that created them. Standing with one leg in the past and one in the present, julie co-creates with molecules of sunlight, wind, dust, spices and emulsions to allow the art to speak to the viewers & each other.
This interactive exhibit revolves around the way communication takes place, not just for flora, but for all of us. Information, messages & meanings carried by the wind, our breath, greets the exhibit with the options for understanding, misunderstanding, ignoring, acceptance and love. Not always seen clearly, often information veiled, the exhibit invites the viewers to create a discussion as to what meaning communication has to us, whether from the art, the nature that created it or between each other.
Please join the conversation.
Julie Moore has been creating her evocative style of art for a decade. Though she has no formal training in photography, Julie has felt captivated by the visual arts throughout her life. She was first inspired to pick up a camera many years ago while visiting Ireland in the company of a shaman, and she has been photographing the beauty of her world ever since. Perhaps surprisingly, she creates her captivating art primarily with her iPhone, visualizing, co-creating and processing her images with the camera she carries in her pocket. She also creates some of her images with her Holga, a medium-format film camera. Julie makes many of her prints using the polymer-photogravure process. Drawn to this alternative method of printmaking, she also employs other complimentary techniques during the intaglio printing process, such as chine-collé and à la poupée. During the pandemic, Julie began experimenting with the Lumen precess and fast became an advocate of this alternative process.
About her work, Julie has said: “My images share the way I see the world, its soft tenderness and extravagant beauty, its agonizing loss and exquisite aging. I see the overlooked aspects of life and nature. There is small and precious beauty in the unseen, a part of everyday life that can go missing because it is not prominent, yet has much to teach us.” Julie’s work has been shown in a number of juried exhibitions in various galleries across the country.
The exhibit runs from September 9 through October 11, 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.

“Moment to Moment”
This “Moment to Moment” show is about how life changes generation to generation, life to life, year to year, second to second, thought to thought. And how each of those moments affect our senses, our perceptions, our feelings, our relationships and our beliefs. All are in constant motion, colliding like the drops of water running in a river.
In constant motion like a volcano that erupts in minutes but erodes over millennia. Like a flower that blooms for a few days even in barren places, fades in weeks and returns next year. Like a building that supports a family and community for a few generations and rusts.
“Join me as we celebrate our part in the constant spectacle of life, and find beauty and gratitude as we and the world change, “Moment to Moment.”
After retiring in 2015 from a distinguished career in public service, Grady Tarbutton turned to photography for artistic expression. “My goal is to create work that reveals the spirit and beauty of this world. And to do my part to engage everyone with it.”
Minor White, Imogen Cunningham, Ray Atkeson, Walker Evans and Margaret Bourke-White have all influenced him.
Grady’s photographs are held in private and public collections, including the State of Nevada Department of Veteran Services and at The Gordon Hotel, Eugene, Oregon. His work has been selected for Juried Shows, including the Emerald Art Center’s 2017 and 2019 National Juried Shows.
Grady Tarbutton has been a photographer since the 1970’s, when he started shooting in film. All of his recent work is with digital cameras and lenses. He is married with two children, one granddaughter and one grandson. He lives in Eugene, Oregon
“I spend my time hiking, spending time with friends and family and appreciating the work of local artists. I often hike in the Diamond Peak Wilderness, visit openings of photography shows in Oregon, including the Emerald Art Center, the Don Dexter Gallery and PhotoZone Gallery exhibitions.”
“I find inspiration from artists whose work encourages people to reflect on their world and life.”
Inspiration
• from William Stafford’s The Way It Is, 1999
“The Little Girl by the Fence at School”
Grass that was moving found all shades of brown,
moved them along, flowed autumn away
galloping southward where summer had gone.
And that was the morning someone’s heart stopped
and all became still. A girl said, “Forever?”
And the grass. “Yes. Forever.” While the sky —
The sky — the sky — the sky.

Stu Levy & Willie Osterman Photography Workshop
2023-08-28 - 2023-09-01 | OR
Stu Levy & Willie Osterman Photography Workshop
Shore Acres and the Oregon Coast
August 28 to September 1, 2023
Workshop Fee: US $900. Deposit amount: $150.
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. Darkroom as well as digital workflows will be discussed.
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 Global 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.

Human beings aren’t very good at recycling plastic. About 5% was recovered in 2021, down from 9% in 2014. Another 12% was incinerated in waste-to-energy facilities, and the rest ended up in landfills, rivers, and oceans. When I read that plastic fibers were found at the 27,000-foot level on Mount Everest, I imagined the view when climate change has melted the glaciers and mountain snowpack, leaving a thin layer of plastic.
These glowing, plastic-draped landscapes suggest snow-capped mountain ranges, but are actually erosion control measures. They show how plastic surrounds us, literally, and will threaten life on earth for generations.
Side note: The Rhône Glacier in the Swiss Alps has been covered with massive blankets during the warmer months for several years, which has reduced glacial melting by as much as 50%. Another example of art imitating life!
These photographs were made with a Nikon D700 digital camera and an iPhone 8+, processed in Photoshop, and printed on Moab Juniper Fine-Art paper using archival pigment inks.

At the dawn of photography our hopes and sights were set on finding the science that would allow us to produce an image with light and to display the latent image. It was the inquisitive scientific mind, the human hand and creative ideas that furthered the Art of Photography. In the world of today current photographic technology and past process discoveries are merging and we see creative photographic works that use both modern resources and the touch of the human hand with historical photographic processes.
LightBox Photographic Gallery and Analog Forever Magazine have forged a partnership with The Analog Forever Exhibit. We wish to celebrate the lessons we have learned, the processes we have discovered and the paths we have forged in the Inaugural Analog Forever Gallery Exhibit. The work in this exhibit all includes an analog element of photographic means. It can start in an analog manner or medium or it may include any of the same throughout the process, or just the final piece may be a analog photographic print. There must be at least one analog element in the creative process. Our hope for the exhibition is that stirs the soul and the senses.

Lands of Enchantment (2019-present), challenges the glossy, picturesque mirages of America found on postcards of the 20th century.
Postcards are talismans of tourism. They memorialize ones experience in a place. They idealize the place itself. But what if they revealed truths? In these dioramas, the idyllic postcard imagery is obscured by truths: black text listing the indigenous tribes who have stewardship over the land (https://native-land.ca/) and red text revealing an unspoken truth about the condition of that land. These overlays elucidate the cost of progress. Viewers toggle between fore, middle, and background– future, present, past– as text casts shadows on the postcard imagery, indicating that layers are coexistent.

Photo Float 2023 with Andy Batt

Photo Float 2023
with Andy Batt
July 15-22, 2023 (8 days & 7 nights)
Green River, Utah
Departs from the airfield in Green River, UT, on July 15th
Oct 1 – Dec 31: 20% off at $2560 (plus tax & fees)
Inquiries: info@canyonphotofloat.com
Details and Booking: canyonphotofloat.com
Newsletter: photofloat.substack.com
Andy Batt is leading Photo Float 2023, a landscape photography workshop floating down the Green River, Utah.
Most of us need a creative “reset” once in a while, and this trip has what you need: a chance to do something new and a way to switch up your regular day-to-day. It’s a landscape photography workshop emphasizing creative growth and inspiration for any kind of photographer.
Our float happens over eight days (seven nights). We float down the wild and scenic Green River in Utah through Desolation and Gray Canyons. Every night we camp under desert skies, far from any lights. The river runs through 66 miles of a designated wilderness area. No cars. No buildings, streets, or fast food restaurants. You’re surrounded by the beautiful solitude of the desert. We head downstream, cameras in hand, witnessing miles and miles of stunning canyons and desert landscapes.
The value of this workshop is incredible: small class size, fantastic food, camping under the desert skies, 1:1 guidance from Andy, professional river guides, and all on-river logistics are taken care of.
Our workshop is open to any artist that loves the art of the landscape — Andy will be talking about photography, but all image makers are welcome. If you’re a painter, illustrator, or other visual artist, he would love to have you along.
Andy Batt is a commercial photographer with over 20 years of experience working for advertising agencies, magazines, and Fortune 500 clients. Over that time, he’s nurtured a love of landscape photography as a means of visual meditation.
TESTIMONIALS:
“This trip, these classes, and the people I met inspired me to pick up my camera and do what I should have done a long time ago – shoot for myself. I came back from the trip with a new portfolio, new friends, and most importantly, a new love for the craft.” —Paul Wood, professional photographer
“On this trip, I felt reconnected with the reasons I started photographing in the first place. With Andy’s prompts and image reviews, I made photographs that feel freer and more unconstrained than any I’ve made in years. Being so remote, surrounded by great people, and free of modern responsibilities was soul-cleansing. I’d recommend it to anyone artistically stuck.” –Zac Goodwin, fine art photographer

Oregon photographer Randall Tosh will present a free wet-plate demonstration at The Arts Center in Corvallis on Wednesday June 15 in conjunction with his exhibit now on view in TAC’s Corrine Woodman Gallery.
The demo will begin at 5pm and precede the reception. RSVP for the demo by emailing Jennie Castle at curator@theartscenter.net by Monday, June 12, 2023.
Tosh’s exhibit, “In/dwelling,” deals with his fascination with the strangeness of the natural world–in this case shells. The ephemeral qualities of wet-plate photography seem to be well-suited to this subject matter and to this particular moment in history, when the natural world is under the ever-present threat of destruction.
Wet plate photography is one of the many alternative processes currently being used by photographers working in the analogue tradition. These processes were rediscovered by photographers over the past three decades, and are prized by those photographers for their beauty and experimental quality. The process of making a wet plate photograph is labor intensive and involves creating, sensitizing, exposing, and developing the plate while the plate is still wet from the sensitizing bath, about 30 minutes per image. The resulting images have a delicate, haunting quality, that evokes the passage of time.

LightBox Photographic Gallery opens “Northern Plains Native Americans: A Modern Wet Plate Perspective” by Shane Balkowitsch on Saturday, June 10 with an opening artists reception from 4 — 7 p.m. LightBox is extremely honored to present this work. We have admired this work for years and now have the honor of exhibiting twenty fine reproductions of the original Collodion Wet Plates. The prints are beautiful custom carbon pigment prints crafted in the Netherlands by master printer Luc Brefeld.
“Northern Plains Native Americans: A Modern Wet Plate Perspective” is by far my most important work. My life’s work. My goal is to capture 1000 Native Americans over the 20 years. I have met so many fabulous people on this journey and I am forming bonds and friendships that will last me throughout my life. It is important for me to not only document their heritage but to give respect to a people that that have been mistreated in so many ways. I consider this an honor and I will do everything that I can to put my friends in the best possible light.
~ Shane Balkowitsch
