Eugene photographer Michael Thompson’s fascination with the intersection of the natural and built landscapes will be featured in an upcoming exhibit in the UO School of Law.

"Rhythm and Geometry in the Landscape," including 30 color photographs by Thompson, are on display from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily at the law school's second floor Mezzanine Gallery, through Dec. 27. A public reception with light refreshments will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 3.

The photographs capture natural and built landscapes in Oregon, the Northwest and points around the globe, including Denmark, France and Chile.

“The meeting of the natural and built landscape can result in a simple, pleasing picture, or in one that surprises and encourages further thought,” Thompson said.

Thompson has specialized in travel and garden photographs for magazines and books for 35 years. His Oregon roots date to student days at Portland's Reed College and graduate studies at the University of Oregon's School of Journalism. He and his wife Barbara continue to live in Eugene, where they raised two daughters.
