Greg was inside the Channel 7 studios that are located adjacent to the Lindt cafe when the attack occurred. For more than 16 hours Greg manned multiple cameras recording events. But that wasn’t all. When police marksmen moved in to surround the cafe they realised that Greg’s cameras were perfectly situated to keep eyes on what was going on. Instead of being asked to vacate the position overlooking the cafe the officers requested that Greg stay and assist them. His long lens helped to provide crucial intelligence for the operation – at points he was even asked to point the camera in certain directions by the police command.

Jake Shivery’s body of work is an earnest, honest, and admiring catalog of the North Portland neighborhood where he lives and works. What starts out as a simple concept-the photographs of loved ones in a common setting-becomes something much grander: a beautiful and thoughtful collection of souls ready for viewing.

His photographs are haunting, intimate, and layered with pieces of visual narration that together tell the story of both the subject and the artist

“If she [Branham] had bothered to discuss it with me, she would have known,” du Cille said. “But they’re just not going to take the direct word of the CDC and the director, and 21 days of monitoring means nothing to them because they’re just being alarmed.”
