‘Behind the Lens’ submission
deadline approaching
CANNON BEACH — Time is
running out for photographers
to submit their work for Can-
non Beach History Center and
Museum’s “Behind the Lens.”
For the first time, the
museum is putting out a call
for work.
“We see the beautiful
photographs on social media,
the walls of coffee shops and
galleries. They are iconic im-
ages of Oregon,” museum staff
wrote. “As a photographer
you capture special moments.
Each photo, each captured
image tells your story and the
story of Oregon.”
The museum is looking for
five pieces of work that describe
the participant: as an Oregonian,
and as a photographer.
Participants are asked to
submit with their work a short
biography that answers the
questions: “Where you are
from?” “What made you pick
up that camera or phone for
that special image?”
The deadline for submis-
sions is Monday, May 15.
Decisions will be made by the
end of May, and work will be
displayed by June 10. Artists
may sell their work. Their
photos must be mounted, or
framed; assistance will be
available. The artists’ work
will be on view through Sep-
tember.
Please submit materials,
and any questions, to the Can-
non Beach History Center &
Museum’s executive director
at elaine@cbhistory.org.
For more information, visit
the museum’s website, www.
cbhistory.org, or Facebook page.
Mindy Hardwick discusses her memoir
CANNON BEACH — Local
author Mindy Hardwick will
be the speaker at the Cannon
Beach Library’s Northwest
Author series at 2 p.m. Satur-
day, May 13.
She will focus on her book,
“Kids in Orange: Voices from
Juvenile Detention,” a memoir
of her seven years teaching a
poetry workshop at Portland’s
Denney Junior Justice Centre.
The library is located at 131
N. Hemlock St. The event is
free and open to the public.
Hardwick said the book
is very “raw and honest,”
inspired by the young people’s
own level of honesty about
their own life experiences.
While changing careers
from teacher to writer, Hard-
wick volunteered to facilitate
a weekly poetry workshop
with these children. By helping
them write poetry about their
lives, Hard-
wick said she
discovered the
strength and
courage to
grieve the loss
of her own
father, find
forgiveness
and release
the past.
She is the
author of the
EPIC Ebook
Award finalist
“Stained
Glass Sum-
mer,” and the
contemporary young adult
romance “Weaving Magic.”
She also writes contemporary
romance novellas. Her new
“Cranberry Bay” series, to be
released this summer, uses
parts of Wheeler and Ne-
halem.
