Blue Mitchell is an independent publisher, curator, and photographer. Based in Portland, Oregon, he has been involved with many faucets of the photographic arts.

Mitchell’s online curatorial project, Plates to Pixels (founded in 2007), bridges the gap between antiquated photographic processes and new digital media. Every month the gallery showcases and posts interviews with artists working in these seemingly polarized mediums. Plates to Pixels also hosts a annual guest juried exhibit, other themed invitational group exhibitions quarterly, and recently launched a new moving images section titled eMotion.

Mitchell has successfully published the first three volumes of Diffusion, an annual photography print magazine featuring artists working with “unconventional” processes. Diffusion features artist interviews with portfolios, a variety of photography related articles, a themed group showcase, book and dvd reviews, and other many other special features. Diffusion is unique because it showcases alternative-process photography and other avant-garde photography not seen in other publications.
