Giant Geyser, Yellowstone - Terry Thompson
Yosemite Creek, Winter - Jim Fitzgerald
The combined forces of Terry Thompson and Jim Fitzgerald gave rise to their show known as Winter: Y 2 Y (Yosemite to Yellowstone). Their images that capture the feeling of light, bitter cold and subtle details of their environments are presented as Platinotypes and carbon transfer contact prints.
Rich with precious metals and displaying special techniques developed over many decades, Terry Thompson’s Platinotypes are unique, one-of-a-kind glimpses into the frozen world of Yellowstone. The challenges of working with film in sub zero temperatures are many; but the desire to complete his vision overcomes all of these obstacles. His prints, made by hand, exhibit his connection to the environment.
Meanwhile, the delicate richness of Jim Fitzgerald’s carbon transfer prints transport the viewer through the corners of Yosemite which are only accessible in the cold frozen days of winter. Each hand-made carbon transfer print is a testament to the beauty of this frozen landscape. Utilizing unique pigments and special formulas, known only to the artist, the luminous icicles in the frozen waters of Bridalveil creek and rare seasonal snow melts of El Capitan meadow glisten against the steadfast Black Oaks in a three dimensional dance of light.
The images of harsh winters of Yellowstone and Yosemite are but a glimpse of their natural beauty that they desperately need to preserve. Everyone must make every effort necessary to save people’s National Parks and environment from the ravages of mankind. Winter: Y 2 Y is a reminder of the power of Mother Nature, a power that can be subtle or devastating.

We welcome the exhibiting artists:
Daniel Sackheim • Laura Goin • Jim Bailey • Sharon Kain
Moishe Lettvin • Rebecca Moseman • Philip Sager
Brigitte Bourger • Landry Major • Jennifer Pritchard
This exhibit features the work of the advanced alumni collective of Susan Burnstine.
"Some artists shoot the world around them; others shoot from within. This group of artists creates from their own worlds, perspectives, and experiences with a clear, consistent intention — a staple of my teaching.
While this collection reflects a diverse spectrum of subjects and processes, the consistency lies in each artist’s unique connection to the work. This connection is not only personal; it is unusual and difficult to replicate in today’s crowded market, as it reflects the distinctiveness of each creator.
Realms of Perception features an exceptional group of artists, all of whom have studied with me for an extended period, either in classes or private mentorships over five years or more. From earning a Guggenheim Fellowship to being named among Photolucida’s Top 50 in Critical Mass, each artist stands out for a truly distinctive vision.
For nine months, members of the Advanced Alumni Workshop worked under my guidance while also participating in monthly reviews with several esteemed members of the photographic community, expanding their knowledge, connections, and clarity of direction.
This collective has become far more than a group of students. They are cherished friends, and it has been an honor to support each of them as they forge new paths of understanding”.

loneliness painted in blue light - Julie Moore
Our June exhibits mark a milestone: LightBox Photographic Gallery’s 18th anniversary. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us across nearly two decades of celebrating the photographic arts. Join us for our Opening Reception on Saturday, June 13 from 4–7pm at our gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
Julie Moore presents how a dream unfolds, an exhibit of enhanced lumen prints. This exhibit offers a visual & immersive representation of the complex subject of dreaming. Long believed to be messages ...whether from our unconscious or a source beyond our understanding ...dreams have been studied and revered across all cultures.
Dreaming merges what our eyes see and what our hearts feel within our unconscious mind. They are a type of visual poetry that only hints at their deeper meanings & symbolisms. In this exhibit Julie focuses on the visual splendor and sometimes despair of our 'dreaming world'. Whether dreams bring the softness of our loves & lives to better help us or the darkness to warn us, they often provide a clearer picture of our angels and our demons.
Step into a world where dreams transcend the boundaries of reality. how a dream unfolds invites you to explore the intricate layers of dreams through the enhanced lumen process. Images co-created with sun, silver halide paper, herbs, spices and desire. The results are often un-expected and the dream-like qualities of light and form fill the room.
