Scenes: Images of the Gorge
August 2-27
“You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of Photography, all the pictures you have seen, all the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.” Ansel Adams
The natural beauty of the Columbia River Gorge makes it a mecca for tourists from around the globe. Outdoor activities such as windsurfing, kiteboarding, biking, hiking, and kayaking, great food, local beer and wine, and fabulous local art are all a draw for folks of all types to the area.
And the spectacular vistas, the Columbia River, the double mountains of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams, miles of trails to hike, gorgeous waterfalls, and the famous and ever-changing light draw photographers from around the world.
Our August Scenes exhibition highlights photography of the Columbia River Gorge through the eyes of photographers from throughout the United States. The Gallery will be filled with stunning Gorge images from some of the best of the best known photographers.
Prizes will go to the best 3 works as chosen by the Juror.
