The brand-new Hearst 8×10 Photography Biennial (as in Hearst Publications) has just chosen its eight competition winners and Portland be proud. Portlander Brad Carlile is one of the celebrated for his gorgeous new empty hotel room series, and he’s in great company - alongside the mysterious work of Hiroshi Watanabe (who recently had a solo show at Newspace, and a book by Photolucida - who also published a similar edition by winner Louie Palu) as well as Andy Freeberg’s Gallery Watcher series which just came down at Blue Sky. Bridgetown obviously has an eye out when it comes to the imagemakers on the scene.
