ARTIST\'S STATEMENT
This exhibition stems from my passion for jazz music and my longtime interest in photography. My interest in photography went largely unfulfilled until I retired in 1992. I took a Portland Parks class from Pat Bognar at the Multnomah Arts Center and later developed a close personal friendship with my photography mentor Jim Oleachea. Jazz photography is more about emotion than motion. I try in my photographs to tap into that emotional moment when the artist lets me peer into his or her soul. Sometimes, when that happens, a responsive chord from my own soul is struck and the extension of myself, the camera, captures that moment. This exhibit is not some sort of final summation of Dick Bogle and his photography. We both continue to be works in progress. ARTIST\'S BIOGRAPHY Dick Bogle is a fifth generation Oregonian. He attended both a Portland grade school and high school, then Oregon State College and Portland State University. From 1959 to 1968, Dick served on the Portland Police Department. In 1968 he became the first African American television news reporter in the Northwest when he was hired by KATU-TV. After 15 years at KATU and almost two years as an assistant to a City Commissioner, Dick was elected to the City Council. He served two four-year terms before retiring in 1992. Dick is a busy freelance writer and photographer. He hosts a four-hour jazz radio show on KMHD, Fridays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
