Cherie Hiser, "1972"

While you're at the gallery, head back to the slide room to check out Visions of One. Cherie Hiser has been "model and muse" for many of photography's legends, from Ruth Bernhard and Jerry Uelsmann, to Lee Friedlander, Judy Dater, and Stu Levy, and this exhibition showcases her collection of portraits.

Motoya Nakamura is my favorite Oregonian photographer. A real talent, I think. There are other photo subjects of his that have excited me more than this alternative marching band stuff comprising the 23 Sandy show, but I'm excited for Motoya to be in the spotlight a little bit.
