PDX Squared Gallery Show

One of Oregon’s most enjoyable annual photography events is PDX Squared, and I was excited to serve it last year as a photo editor and pod leader while photographers roamed the city. Some of the best resulting images will be on display next week at Pro Photo Supply’s Wide Format Gallery, with snacks and beverages provided. Here are the details:

THE PORTLAND SQUARED GALLERY SHOW: AN ASMP OREGON EVENT

WHEN:  March 12, 2020
WHERE: Pro Photo Supply, 1112 NW 19th Avenue, Portland 
TIME: 6pm to 8pm, free admission

In May of each year, 100 photographers converged on Portland for a 24 hour period to document a randomly assigned square block of area around Portland to capture our city from every possible angle. This gallery show displays the work and creativity that went into documenting the people, architecture and landscape of urban Portland on that day last year.

All photography enthusiasts are invited to an opening reception to launch this years PDX Squared 2020, which will be held in the Wide Format Gallery at Pro Photo Supply on Wednesday, March 12th, from 6pm-8pm.  Snacks and beverages will be provided!

Portland Photo Month in high gear

Two events on Thursday promise inspiration and libations. First, Photolucida is throwing what they’re calling a “fun-raising” party at Disjecta for their scholarship fund at 6:00:

“Images from fifty of Photolucida’s Critical Mass 2017 finalists and twenty-five Portland photographers will be curated into an exhibition at Disjecta Contemporary Art Center.  Seventy-five people will leave with a print of their choice!

Also – silent auction items from Princeton Architectural Press, One Twelve Publishing, Cobalt Studios, Amy Friend, Cheryle St. Onge, Tamara Staples, Stu Levy, Ray Bidegain and more!”

And at 6:30, ASMP, Camera Bits and Pro Photo Supply are sponsoring a sold-out Print and Pint meet up at the Lucky Lab. Craig Mitchelldyer will be the guest speaker, and he told me he’ll discuss visual storytelling on a tight schedule, something he knows well as a commercial, wedding and sports photographer:

“I love to walk into a room and have just a few minutes to make something look cool — when the room looks garbage — while still telling the persons story.”

Andy Batt told me this edition of Pint and Pint will be the first of a re-booted effort:

“[We’ll be] sharing workprints collected under the broad theme of portraits — work-in-progress to portfolio images… It’s just an opportunity to talk about photography and photographs in a casual setting — as Craig said, make it what you want. Feedback, show-and-tell, etc.”
