New Directions For Ray Bidegain

Perhaps it’s the spring warming and longer days causing a new burst of energy in the photography community. Or, perhaps it’s the steady increase in the numbers of people vaccinated. In any case, long-term Portland Photographers’ Forum member, Ray Bidegain, is a good example.

He has recently announced forming Cascabel Press, for the making of exquisite, investment-grade, hand-made prints in a variety of formats (platinum, gum bichromate, polymer gravure.) Mentoring, portraits, and commissions are also available one-on-one until the pandemic fades out. Hand-made presentation boxes may be next on the list.
