Clouds & Water By Al Crane

    Local photographer Al Crane uses a double exposure with water and clouds to create an interesting effect of two photos mixed together as one. On Nov. 12, LBCC’s South Santiam Gallery hosted a reception for the photographer and his work.
His work focuses on water in the forms of rivers, streams, rain, and clouds – as water is an essential part of our existence and a reminder of the ever-changing cyclical nature of life.

    Double exposure involves layering two photographs over another at the moment of capture, leaving some aspect of the photos to chance. The constant movement of the water and clouds add to the spontaneity and helps focus on the beauty, power, and mysterious nature.



This exhibit was displayed in the South Santiam Hall Gallery for a limited time. This on campus gallery features rotating exhibits from local artist throughout the year.

Surfing the Pacific... The first time

Image
     Being a kid you hear tales of the ocean being painted as a realm of immense power and enigmatic depths, teeming with unseen "creatures." Overcoming the primal fear of the “ocean” could lead to embracing it… In the form of surfing      Surfing has a long cultural history beginning around the 12th century in Hawaii among the Polynesians. It has had some interesting usages since then. Such as hunting for fish, traveling between islands, and, of course, as a sport for a lot of people.      When I was a kid, around 6, I was infatuated with the sport. From my parents subscribing me to the now-defunct SURFER magazine, to watching the surf teams on television during the Olympics or in person on the coast. Yet, one thing was lacking … I didn’t live in Hawaii, or in Southern California, or Florida… I lived in Oregon of all places.      Oregon is the middle state on the West Coast and in the Pacific Northwest region of the states.

The Hunt For The Unknown Sticker Part 2 - The Source

Image
With Nick May of the Degree Partnership office out on an assignment, I sent him an email. “Yes, I commissioned those stickers with the help of Matt Scotton,” May later replied. If you recall from Part 1, Matt is the public information officer and external communications person for Linn-Benton. “As far as my contribution goes,” May continued, “I just wanted to have some fun/unique stickers to represent LBCC when I am tabling for DPP events. I get exposed to a lot of cool designs at OSU, so I ended up reaching out to Matt to get the ones you've seen mocked up!” ( Proof Sheet that May sent ) I scheduled a meeting with Nick on May 12, asking more about the stickers and the backstory. The questions I still had:  Why were they made specifically for the Degree Partnership Program? And can other LB students get their hands on some of these stickers? All of which were later answered in a Q&A session with May. Why were they made? So I think that it really came from me wanting to just ha...
