Plan Your Contribution To The New Book
This just in from Pat Welle, Book Group Team leader:
Our theme for this year’s photo book is “A Break in the Clouds.” As the world emerges from a long and difficult period of collective struggle, we as visual artists are eager to resume our photographic journey. We see the storm slowly lifting, offering a much deserved break in the clouds. This longing period of rebirth should incite our creative energies, motivating us to once again venture out and create images bursting with fresh perspective and possibility. We encourage you in the next couple of months to collect and share images for publication that reflect a glimpse of life with renewed strength, hope and optimism.
The 2021 book will again bring together the talent of the members of the Portland Photographers Forum. We look forward to your submissions for the new book! Our goal is to produce the book again in time for a late-fall release. Deadline for submissions will be June 30, 2021.
- Pat Welle, Team Leader, Book Group
