Framed: Shadow and Light — Juried Photography Exhibition, Black Box Gallery Portland
Black Box Gallery
Juried group photo show of Black Box Gallery, Portland, on shadow and light — photography as the documentation of patterns of darkness and light, from dramatic black-and-white shadows to ethereal, moody textures in colour; the juror looks for the range of ways contemporary photographers interpret them.
