Birgetta Nixon's Kittens
Valley People Documentary Project
Cherry Grove, Oregon
Photographed in September of 1977 and part of a popular regional photographic calendar entitled "Valley People." The documentary project concerned documenting descendants of the historic Tuality Plains settlers of Washington County, Oregon.
Shown are Birgetta Nixon and her grand-daughter with kittens near Cherry Grove -- taken over 34 years ago. The figures are representative of the last of a then living heritage. Birgetta was well known as the local historian... keeping track of Cherry Grove's Lore in her scrapbooks including several published books on its history.
One of my favorite images from the 1978 Valley People Calendar... and one of my favorite subjects and friend. In this impromptu photo we had just come out of her house (where we had just looked at some of her scrap books) and were greeted by her grand-daughter. Soon we were in a mad camp romp as Birgetta raced to gather nearby kitty cats for a "portrait" of herself and her grand-daughter. Old tools, buckets, nick knacks and farm irons can be seen on the side of her house in the background. Visiting with her was always free spirited... filled with an atmosphere of the unusual, the unexpected delight.

Heavyweight Epson Satin paper
Signed/Dated on lower white border
