There is a quiet and dignified exhibition of photographs in the small entryway of The Gallery at Tacoma Community College. The photographs are pretty traditional and not very exciting, but they are nicely done. One in particular, Lake Washington Bridge by Jim Oliver, does wonderful things with water and shadows. These photos are the first things you see when entering the 8th Annual Juried Exhibition at Tacoma Community College.

And then you step into the main gallery and glance to the left and become suddenly disoriented because the paintings you see there are rough, with harsh angles, jarring colors and skewed perspectives that can easily induce vertigo.
