I’ll have two of my favorite photographs in two different exhibits during March.
Black Box Gallery in Portland
One of my favorite whimsical photographs will be on display in the Black Box Gallery for their “Focus: Shadow and Light” exhibit.
Black Box Gallery is located at 811 East Burnside St. #212 Portland, Oregon. The exhibit runs from March 1st to March 20th with an artist reception from 6-9 PM on Friday March 6th.
LightBox Gallery in Astoria
I’ll have another favorite on display in the “A Jury Of Your Peers” exhibit at Lightbox Gallery. The theme for this exhibit was interesting - artists submitted work, then participated in the jury process to select which images were included in the show. It was educational and really difficult, giving me new respect for jurors faced with selecting works from large pools of excellent images.
LightBox Photographic Gallery is located at 1045 Marine Drive, Astoria, Oregon. The exhibit will be on display from March 14th through April 7th with an artist reception from 5-8pm on Saturday, March 14th.
“The Evolution of Surfing” was an example of the kind of created luck that makes street photography so rewarding. I was people watching on the beach when this man came down to surf. Each of the people in this photo gradually moved into place and I was ready with my camera when the composition momentarily came together. I still get a rush just looking at this and thinking about it!
