Keri Friedman - A Slippery Slope - 9 x 9 on 10 x 10 - Pigment Print - $75

"Keri Friedman is a photographer living in Portland, Oregon. Her interest in photography began in high school and fermented in the deliciously noxious, black and white darkroom in college. Seven years in New York City provided daily inspiration. Moving to Portland in 2005 opened up a whole new set of visual possibilities. By day Keri works for Lensbaby, one of the most creative photographic companies around. All other times she is constantly seeing and shooting, whether with her DSLR, film cameras, or camera phone. You'll often find her exploring and photographing abandoned places and capturing small moments while wandering Portland’s nooks and crannies. Sometimes she brings dinosaurs. The submitted images are part of her Portland Vignettes series that she has been shooting and showing locally for the past two years. "Rooted" was photographed on Sauvie Island, and "A Slippery Slope" in Colonel Summers Park."
