My photograph "Matea" inspired poet Timothy Black to write a poem as part of the Ekphrasis III exhibition.
The exhibit is an annual collaboration between the Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild and the poetry club at Linn Benton Community College. PAG members submit candidate photographs to the poetry club members, each of whom selects one photograph that inpires a poem. The resulting collection of poetry and photographs is exhibited on the LBCC campus. A catalog of the assembled works is published as a small booklet.
I'm happy to have "Matea" selected and exhibited because she's an extraordinary girl and a delight to work with. My brief photo shoot with her was one of the most fun I've had and it makes me glad to share the outcome of it. I'm pleased that Matea's photograph was selected for the back cover of the exhibit catalog as well.
The exhibit is on display at the South Santiam Hall on the Albany LBCC campus. It runs from February 2nd to 27th.
