SSH Gallery Features Corvallis Photographer Dave McIntire
Dave McIntire photograph - Mt. Rainer "Renticular Cloud." An exhibit of photographs of Mount Rainier by Corvallis photographer Dave McIntire will be on display Jan. 9-31 in the South Santiam Hall Gallery at Linn-Benton Community College, 6500 Pacific Blvd SW, Albany. A reception for the artist will be held Thursday, Jan. 9, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The public is invited. The exhibit features more than 20 of McIntire's large color and black-and-white images, many of which are being shown publicly for the first time. Several reveal the massive, 14,411-foot volcanic peak surrounded by dramatic, swirling clouds and cloaked in snow and ice. Others explore the glaciers slowly snaking down the mountain's slopes, and the many waterfalls, wildflower meadows and tumbling steams in the surrounding wilderness. One particularly impressive image presents a 6-foot long panorama of the mountain flanked by several neighboring peaks. A retired botany professor at Oregon State University
