PORT TOWNSEND — The two photographers went together to the same spot: Salmon Cascades on the Sol Duc River. Their shots turned out to be entirely different.
There’s “Coho Gold,” Kerry Tremain’s image of a leaping, shimmering fish.
Beside it is “Rushing Water,” Brian Goodman’s vision of flashing blue and white.
“We were literally sitting on the same rock,” Goodman said of that photogenic day.
The two Port Townsend artists will give a free talk at 3 p.m. Saturday about their large-scale photography on view in “Outside In,” the exhibition at Northwind Art’s Jeanette Best Gallery, 701 Water St. They will return for another chat with gallery visitors at 3 p.m. Aug. 5.
The informal talks give people a chance to hear the stories behind the photos: Tremain’s birds and other wildlife and Goodman’s ethereal landscapes.
Also part of “Outside In”: bronze sculptures of birds, salmon and other creatures by Sara Mall Johani and her late husband Tom Jay. Tremain, a close friend of the Chimacum couple, invited Johani to join the exhibition, and she responded with a number of sculptures not seen in a gallery before now.
Tremain, a retired editor of Mother Jones and California magazines, today writes the “Bird of the Week” newsletter about local birdlife. It can be found at https://www.kerrytremain.com/newsletter.
Many of the Goodman photographs in “Outside In” are from his “Solace of Space” series. The images, which Goodman hopes give the viewer a sense of peace, can be seen at https://www.solaceofspace.com/.
“Outside In” will be at Jeanette Best Gallery through Aug. 27. The venue is open daily from noon to 5 p.m.
