Photographer Richard G. Sandifer will hold an open studio event at 151 Newbury Street, Portland and welcome the public from 5:30 p.m.-9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 17, to present: “New Photos: The California Landscape”.
For this series of images Sandifer traveled through the heart of California for two weeks in the Spring of 2010. The photographs are a portrayal of the rugged beauty that makes California famous: the baking desert of Joshua Tree National Park, the cold snowy spine of the High Sierra Nevada Mountains, the wave-pounded coastline of the North Pacific Ocean.
This year, Sandifer has again teamed with Safe Passage (www.safepassage.org ), a local non-profit based in Yarmouth, to raise awareness of the organization and its work to improve the lives of impoverished children in Guatemala, whose parents scavenge in the Guatemala City garbage dump for salable goods to recycle.
Donations at the door will be donated to Safe Passage. Live acoustic music will be provided by the Jason Spooner Trio. Pizza will be provided by Portland Pie Company. Bruce’s Burritos serves up Mexican food, Clayton’s Cafe delivers sweet treats, and the Royal Bean brews freshly roasted coffee. Refreshments will be provided by Shipyard Brewing Company. The event will switch gears at 9 p.m. when professional DJ “Johnny Mambo” dials up his sound system and plays a wide variety of latin dance music: salsa, merengue, cumbia, cha-cha and more. The event ends at midnight. For more information and directions, please visit www.rgsphoto.com or call (207) 761-3916.
