GARY MARTEL: New ORA Member

In his day job, Gary Martel is an excellent dentist, but given the opportunity, Gary will happily trade in his drill for a good camera and head for adventure. Photography has been a life-long passion and it shows!

Many of his photos chronicle his adventurous travels. Nature shots and family are also frequent subjects of his work.  Gary has a keen sense of light, shape and form. Recently, he has begun working in manipulated images and the results are most impressive.

Elements Glass will feature some of his work at the ORA exhibit that opens March 4th at 5:30 pm.
The show will continue through March 14th.

Join in the celebration of light and see what Gary has prepared for this show. Grab a glass of wine and join the ORA artists as they toast their first gallery group show.

Tobin Floom: A new ORA member

This is a photo of Tobin and his wife at ORA's Celebration of Art 2009. Well known for his portrait studio Images by Floom Photography in Multnomah Village, Tobin is a remarkable photographer who has also demonstrated his masterful talents in manipulated photography art.

High energy, a great sense of humor, and artistic talent  make for a remarkable character. You will rarely see Tobin without a smile on his face. He'll be sporting his camera the evening of February 28th , 7 pm at the MJCC ballroom when he captures our first PreJAM Slam- our kick off party for Jewish Arts Month.

You'll have a second chance to meet him at Elements Glass Gallery on First Thursday, March 4th at 5:30-9pm. Come have a glass of wine, share an appetizer and schmooze with Tobin and all the other great folks that will gather in this amazing space.

See you there!
