tographic Gallery hosts the
opening and artists’ recep-
tion of “Nature’s Way” and
“Storms” during Astoria’s
Second Saturday Art Walk 5

The “Nature’s Way”
group exhibit features the
work of 32 photographic art-
ists from around the country
that expresses the wonders
of our natural landscape.
The photographs take many
interpretations of the theme;
the only requirement is that
the photo is in color. Jody
Miller, of Astoria, juried the
exhibit of 50 pieces.
Also opening on this
night is Miller’s “Storms,”
an exhibit of images current-
ly released as limited-edition
prints.
Our Earth is stressed
and the future of our planet
and our own existence is
in question, the gallery
wrote. Believers in science
