Michael and Chelsea Granger, LightBox Photographic Gallery Owners
This past Saturday, I attended the show opening at the LightBox Photographic Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. The Lightbox is celebrating it's first year anniversary in business. The gallery is nicely situated in the downtown area of Astoria. Chelsea and Michael Granger are gallery owners whose enthusiasm make this an endeavor born out of love for the medium. Chelsea is also a lo-fi photographer who likes to shoot with vintage Dianas. In the Lightbox Photographic Gallery, the Pacific Northwest has a strong supporter of fine art photography.
The Plastic Fantastic show features 50 photographs selected by juror Lauren Henkin. This work was done by photographers from all over the U.S.A. and from Sweden, Australia, Great Britain and Canada. It's an honor to have my photograph included in this group of photographers. The Plastic Fantastic show was opened along with an exhibition by John Wimberly, whose masterful black and white prints represents work that spans over 30 years.

The work was well displayed in a very pleasant gallery space that also featured cabinets with many vintage cameras and other working film cameras that are available for loan to members of the gallery's darkroom group.

The gallery also offers lo-fi cameras for sale from Lomography and Superheadz.

it looks like you had a fun time and learned a lot. I wish I lived close to all that kind of cool stuff!
Thanks Kai for making the opening, it was great to meet you and your lovely wife.
We appreciate your good words about LightBox and for taking the time to post this nice piece on your site.
All the best, M&C
Love your gallery. Great space and first class photography. When you walk into the gallery, you'd think you were in Seattle or Portland. Highly recommended if you want to see works of art.
