---------
This retrospective exhibition, Beauty That Thrives Under the Ravages of Time, comprises work spanning a 20-year period, including the series Dupont Circle, Washington DC: Portraits (1999-2004), Portland, Oregon: Portraits (2009-2014) and Portland, Oregon: Houses (2018-2019).
Shortridge was born in 1960 in the Washington, D.C area. At the age of 6 he was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. Shortridge earned a master’s degree in social work from American University in the early 1990’s and started a career as a social worker soon afterwards. About the same time he began shooting photos of people he met around Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. He moved to Oregon in 2009 where he continued his social work and photography. Shortridge passed away in December 2019 at the age of 59.
