"Squares" Photo Show at Emerson Space Case

 

  

Jennifer Jansons' Holga medium-format photographs (above) transport you into a softer world.  The Holga camera has a plastic lens with soft focus around the edges.

John Ryan Brubaker completed a project called Polaroid 366, in which he took a Polaroid photo every day for a year.  And not just any year - a year in which there was an extra day.  On display at the space are some selections from his year of  photos.

Brubaker is currently showing work at Albina Community Bank in Portland, as part of a show called The People Behind the Paper, a photo documentary project about the vendors of Street Roots newspaper.  He will also be embarking soon on a journey to Thailand!  I can hardly wait to see the resulting photos.
