Only Photographs : A Group Show in Portland

Only Photographs is a collection of images based upon the principle of photograph as a holistic study of space, time, energy, and momentum. The show presents paired images from 14 photographers throughout the U.S. and Europe, each in his or her own visual perception of the world surrounding them. The resulting collection of images offers insight into 14 sets of life stages and unique environmental visions, encapsulated and unified by the force of photography, enabling photographer and viewer to investigate and celebrate these suspended moments together.
