A Special Event With Austin Granger

" THE PALOUSE IN WINTER"

PHOTOGRAPHS BY AUSTIN GRANGER

Please join us Thursday, April 26, 11 AM PDT, at Trinity Cathedral 147 NW 19th Avenue, Portland, OR 97209. Austin Granger will share his series, The Palouse in Winter.

Author Zane Grey described the Palouse region of Southeastern Washington as a "desert of wheat," an impression only heightened in the winter, when the land there is so severe and still it feels both otherworldly and strangely significant. Entranced by this austere landscape, Portland photographer Austin Granger has returned again and again to the Palouse to make images that are at once strange, beautiful, evocative, and deeply personal.

Born in San Francisco in 1970, Austin Granger has worked as a baker, house painter, naval radar operator and camera salesman. He first began to photograph while studying philosophy in college as a way to get out of his head. Preferring to use traditional film cameras, Granger has come to see his photography as a spiritual practice–a way in which to shape his life and enrich his relationship with the world. He likes motorcycles a lot too.
