The Photographer’s Eye Gallery in Escondido will host an exhibit by two exceptional artists, Diana Bloomfield and Debra Achen, award winners in the gallery’s 2023 (S)Light of Hand Alternative Process Juried Exhibition. Bloomfield, of Raleigh, North Carolina, was honored by juror Ann Jastrab, Executive Director of the Center for Photographic Arts in Carmel, California, for her floral print, “Hydrangea,” a tricolor gum over cyanotype print. Achen, of Monterey, California, was honored by The Photographer’s Eye Director Donna Cosentino for “Shoring Up,” a folded and stitched pigment print that references climate change. Bloomfield specializes in 19th century printing techniques, with a concentration on gum bichromate, platinum and cyanotype processes. Her photographic vision springs from the world of memories, and her images carry the flavor of waking up and trying to recall a dream. Her work, she says, “is more about holding onto memories, which are always fugitive and ever shifting, and I wanted to get them down on paper.” Her printing process entails creating transparencies from a digital image, then exposing them on contact paper multiple times using ultraviolet light. “It’s a nice blending of 19th and 21st century technologies,” Bloomfield says. Achen, who loves nature and landscape photography, recently applied her art to address climate change. After shooting her images, Achen folds, rips, scorches, and even stitches the prints, creating works of art that evoke a planet in crisis. “I started noticing when I was out shooting in the field that I would find myself thinking about what’s this landscape going to be like, how much of this forest is going to be left for the next generations,” Achen says. “I was feeling like I’m documenting this for future generations, and that’s a sad thing.” The artists will discuss their processes and inspirations at an artists’ talk at The Grand, 321 E. Grand Ave., across the street from the gallery, at 3 p.m. on March 9. That will be followed by a reception at The Photographer’s Eye, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The Photographer's Eye is a nonprofit.

For more than six decades, The Beach Boys’ music has been an indelible part of American history. Their brilliant harmonies conveyed simple truths through sophisticated, pioneering musical arrangements. The Beach Boys transcended their music and have come to represent Californian culture. They provided fans around the world with a passport to experience love, youthful exuberance, and surf culture. Founded in Hawthorne, California in 1961, The Beach Boys were originally comprised of the three teenaged Wilson brothers: Brian, Carl, and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and school friend Al Jardine. The Beach Boys signed with Capitol Records in July 1962 and released their first album, Surfin’ Safari, that same year. The Beach Boys are one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful bands of all time, with over 100 million records sold worldwide. Between the 1960s and today, the group had over 80 songs chart worldwide, 36 of them in the US Top 40 (the most by a US rock band), and four topping the Billboard Hot 100. Their influence on other artists spans musical genres and movements. Countless artists have cited Pet Sounds as their inspiration for creating their own musical masterpieces. Rolling Stone ranked Pet Sounds No. 2 on its list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time,” and The Beach Boys No. 12 on its list of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time.” Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and recipients of The Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY Award®, The Beach Boys are a beloved American institution that remains iconic around the world. The Beach Boys are led by lead singer and critically acclaimed chief lyricist Mike Love, who, along with longtime member Bruce Johnston, musical director Brian Eichenberger, Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, Jon Bolton, Keith Hubacher, Randy Leago and John Wedemeyer continue the legacy of the iconic band.
