BLUE SKY, the Oregon Center for the Photographic Arts gallery, chose ten of my photographs for its 2024 Pacific Northwest Drawers exhibit in Portland. Juror Aline Smithson selected among submissions from photographers in five northwestern states and British Columbia. The unique program enables visitors to view and handle matted prints in a series of drawers in the gallery. The ten photographs, shown above, opened April 4 and will continue until March 2025 at Blue Sky Gallery, 122 NW 8th Avenue, Portland, OR.

LINDA OKAZAKI’S gorgeous new book, Into the Light, is now available. I wrote the lead essay for the book, which grew from her recent retrospective at Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. I also wrote the intro to Brian Goodman’s recently published photography book, People, Places, Things.

RED-TAILED TROPICBIRD, the cover photograph on my book Aves, won a second place award in the annual Washington state artists exhibit at Collective Visions Gallery in Bremerton. Greg Robinson, curator of Bainbridge Island Art Museum, juried the show.

2023 EXHIBITS RECAP. Neah Bay Doves was voted the People’s Choice Winner and garnered the curator’s Honorable Mention in the recent Fresh Talent exhibit at Bainbridge Arts and Craft—and a 42x60-inch framed print was sold. My summer show at the Northwind Art in Port Townsend was well attended and sold well. Framed photographs and prints from that exhibit, Outside In, are available.…. And Coho Gold was sold to a collector and featured last fall at Port Angeles Fine Art Center.

KEEP UP with my notes and essays on birds, photography, politics, personal histories, and other things that interest me on my new Substack, Wild Things!
