PHOTOGRAPHY FROM THREE PERSPECTIVES |
The March featured artist show at the Plumas Arts Gallery will present the work
of three different photographers from three corners of Plumas county who
express themselves in the photograph arts through three different technical
approaches.
The gallery will also be filled with work from more than 50 local and regional
artists working in a multitude of mediums from two and three dimensional fine
art, prints and cards to jewelry, woodwork to fabric arts, pottery, artisan
crafts, music recordings and more. The public is invited to an Opening
Reception on Friday March 7th from 5 to 7pm.

BETTY BISHOP has been a lifelong resident of Chester. Her approach to
photography is the most bound in tradition: she captures a latent image on 35mm
film which remains a mysterious recollection until it is developed and printed
in a darkroom.
"I often joke that I will take a picture of anything," Bishop comments.
"That is probably a stretch, but if something interests me visually, I will
try to get a photograph that evokes the same feelings when I see the results as
when I first looked at the object or scene." |

| "Being a photographer has made me more aware of the things around me, both
large and small, spectacular or seemingly mundane, and especially the way light
enhances or alters everything. My goal is to encourage my audience to look more
deeply, more carefully at the world around them, at things great and small,
bright and dark, to see the peacefulness or majesty of a landscape, as well as
the beauty of everyday objects. |

| RICHARD DAUN, a Quincy resident for several decades, uses a digital SLR camera
to record his images. The digital process affords him the ability to view the
framed image right away and "it allows me to control and produce my own
prints."
"My delight is to frame unique or eye catching images that I encounter in the
natural or man-made environment during my travels." The photographs that he
will show at this exhibit are from a recent trip to London |

MICHAEL CLAWSON is "Chief Fish" at Big Fish Creations, an advertising and
digital media company located in Graeagle. Clawson began communicating as an
iPhoneographer in late 2011 when he discovered the power wrapped inside his
tiny telephone camera.
As a professional photographer, he began to explore the limitations of the
iPhone, and thus learned its strengths. He soon began to exploit various facets
of his creativity with the device. He credits Instagram as his first artistic
sharing community where iPhoneography and art have flourished, giving him
inspiration towards new opportunities and new discoveries. |

Clawson has also presented as a speaker at several industry-specific conferences
including Adobe Max and MacWorld. On Saturday March 15th from noon to 2pm he
will provide a no cost presentation at the Plumas Arts Gallery entitled
"Creative iPhone Photography and Art" where he will share the process of how he
creates digital photography and art exclusively with his iPhone. |
|
That presentation will be part of the Arts & Entrepreneur Series co-sponsored
with the Feather River College Business Entrepreneurial Center and made
possible with funding form the California Arts Council"s Creating Places of
Vitality Program and the Common Good Foundation. |
