"Exploring the Process of Print Making from Glass Plates" - Presentation by Photographic Artist Ray Bidegain

As part of our ongoing series of events in support of the William L. Finley photographic exhibit on display at the Refuge, photographic artist Ray Bidegain will describe the process of platinum print making from glass plates he uses and share his experience printing the Finley and Bohlman photographs for the exhibit on display at Tualatin River NWR.

Speaker Bio: Ray Bidegain printed the photographs for the William L. Finley exhibition using the platinum printing process. After a long commercial career working as a black and white photographer, Ray discovered the beauty of the platinum print and began to teach himself this art over 10 years ago. He was drawn to the older alternative photo processes because of the handmade nature of the work and its inherent beauty. “I find peace in my photographs, and mostly photograph things that present themselves voluntarily into my life. The images serve as visual reminders of moments and feelings I have experienced, signifying both the passage of time and the reverberation of consistency in all of our lives.”
