Paul Dahlquist took his first photograph at age 8 – It was a shot of inhabitants of the Chinese City of Chefoo fleeing the invasion by the Japanese in 1937. Since then, in a uniquely personal way, he has been documenting the ebb and flow of humanity and it’s surroundings; nature, architecture, visual textures, places and people.

To Paul, “Everyone, in their own way, is an absolute miracle of being.” and his work is heavily textured by that belief. His self processed Black & White images feature the people he knows well and those he’s met in his travels in his native Portland Oregon and Seattle Washington as well as around the world.

This lovely coffee table book of his work was created as Paul’s birthday present to YOU to celebrate his 80^th birthday and his 72 years as an artist and creative spirit. It features images that are favorites of his, as well as those of his closest friends, and a growing legion of fans of his work.
