I worked for the Welcome Back issue for our student newspaper, which came out Tuesday. It was a 52-page edition, which was much smaller than usual because less ads were purchased [story of our lives]. Four of us decided to take on the task and we all did everything—wrote articles, edited articles, took photos, edited photos, layed out pages, copy edited, etc. It was a fun experience and not as

I photographed the Lynden Rodeo Saturday. It was one of the most difficult things I've shot in a really long time. The lighting was horrible - they only had a few spot lights. I cranked up my ISO [graininess can sometimes be cool, right?] and even then couldn't get a fast enough shutter speed. Hopefully when I get my new body, I won't run into this problem quite as badly. I also had difficulty

Visited a friend in Eastern Washington for a few days. Being a desert climate, it's definitely a different kind of pretty from Western Washington, which is lush and green. Had fun exploring the rural areas near the Tri-Cities.

My friend Nick asked if I wanted to make a soundslide of people jumping off Whatcom Falls when it was EXTREMELY hot up here in Bellingham. I thought it would be fun, so I agreed. Here are some stills I liked. [And yes, I jumped too.]To view the soundslide, visit Nick's blog.

I took a week-long nature photography workshop for a couple credits at school. I didn't really learn all that much but it was fun. And I got some pretty pictures out of it.To see more, visit my Flickr.

Long post. Here are a bunch of photos I took over the course of the summer for The Western Front. Enjoy. Would love to hear feedback.The Bellingham Bells:Fly fishing class:Gay pride celebration:Lake Padden Triathlon:These next few photos I was working on blurring to show motion. Not quite there but I still like it.This is a little better because the biker's face is in focus and not blurry.I like

Sorry for the lack of posts. I've been horrible at keeping up with this. I will be updating with a bunch of stuff I've been photographing over the summer.My cousin came and visited from Chicago in July. She asked if I wanted to go on a hot air balloon ride with her, and being the try-anything woman I am, I agreed. I made the mistake of looking up 'why hot air balloons crash' on the internet the

This past quarter was a little different. I didn't photograph as much as I would have liked to. I spent some time making a documentary about graffiti in Bellingham, Wash. Enjoy. I would love to hear your comments.

I attended sportsshooter academy recently in L.A. where I got to photograph a bunch of different sports. I received advice and got critiqued from some of the best sports photographers in the country. It was an amazing experience. I want to give Nikon a HUGE thank you for paying for my tuition and letting me use top-of-the-line gear. I didn't know it was possible to fall in love with an inanimate

I apologize for the lack of posts. It seems like I've been constantly on the move lately. Anyways, over spring break (which was a while ago) I went to Atlanta and did some inter-city work with a group of people my age. It was an amazing experience and I had some amazing conversations with individuals who lived on the streets of downtown Atlanta. Their stories are some I wish I could tell better

I photographed a Drag Show on campus recently. It was the most fun I've had shooting something in a long time. The people were all great characters, which provided for great photos. Just talking to each individual and taking the time to care about what they care about creates a trust and allows them to be comfortable and act normal. I followed Western freshman Isaac Bond through his

I got to photograph the RJD2, Helio Sequence and Yogoman Burning Band concert a few weeks ago. It was AMAZING. I haven't photographed very many concerts so this was a really good learning experience for me.Yogoman Burning Band:The Helio Sequence:RJD2:

Right before the quarter started the paper was in need of Mt. Baker photos, which was a great excuse for me to go skiing. I had never taken my camera up on the mountain before because I was always scared I would break it on my handfuls of crashes. It ended up not being a problem. I learned quickly that I needed to find something not covered in snow to give the skiers and snowboarders a sense of

I recently went down to Olympia to photograph a rally some Western alumni, football players and others were having in hopes to grow awareness of the cut of the program and to introduce a couple bills they were trying to get passed.I forgot to change the settings on my camera from when I shot a basketball game. This is what happens when you leave your camera on the fluorescent light setting and

So this year has been a bad year for sports in the Pacific Northwest: lost the Sonics, Mariners were one of the worst teams in baseball, Seahawks finished third in the conference and Mike Holmgren "retired," the Husky and Cougar football teams were terrible, the Tuba Man passed away...the list goes on.On Jan. 8, the cut of Western Washington University's football team was added to that list.

Hi, and welcome to my new blog!I've created this blog to let those who are curious get to see what I'm doing when I'm not around and also to discuss what I struggled with and what I was hoping to accomplish in my photos. I hope you leave comments and join in on the discussion.Here's a commercial my friend James and I made for our video class. Enjoy! -Katie Greene
