Katie Gregory Photography: The Blog

The concert scene here in Seattle is really picking up now that the weather is getting nicer.  I got to photograph several long-time favorites this month:  the first of which was The Appleseed Cast at Chop Suey on March 10th.

Review @ Melophobe.com

It was my first time to the venue, and I really liked the vibe there.  While waiting for the music to begin I made a new friend Kyle, from the band To The Sea.  Check them out!  You’ll notice this was the first time I got a writer for the review – I actually met Louis in the audience!  I’m really impressed with his writing.  I’m also pleased that I got any decent photos, as it was quite dark for the projection screen.

And this past Monday I got to photograph three of my favorites at El Corazón:  Person L, I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody’s Business, and Copeland.  I’m sad to say that it was Copeland’s last tour!

Review @ Melophobe.com

I have at least one confirmed show to photograph in April that I’m really excited about!

In other news, I am officially trained and working for Moon Photo in Greenwood.   I love having the opportunity to use my film & darkroom skills again, as well as scanning and printing.  If any Seattle photographers are reading this:  bring me your negatives!

Happy March!  Chris asked if I had anything from February to post…

In Feb I had a great time meeting & photo-walking with the Seattle Flickr group, resulting in some creative diptychs.

I also got to photograph two of my favorite bands – Alkaline Trio & Cursive – for Melophobe.  I’m excited to meet my fellow Melophobe-contributers for the first time on Saturday.  There’s also another photo-walk planned for earlier in the day Saturday, so keep an eye on my Flickr (link on the right).

Sorry I don’t have more to post here, but it was a busy month – we moved from Capitol Hill to the Central District – amongst other big and exciting things.  More soon

Last night I had the opportunity to photograph a couple of highly energetic bands at El Corazon.  These type of bands are the most fun to shoot because of how fast they move – you never know what exact moment you’ll freeze with the flash!

Attack Attack!

I have also been photographing concerts for Melophobe.com.  Check out my first two reviews:

This past Sunday Joel, Nick, Larissa, Matt and I took a hike up the north face of Mt. Pilchuck to reach “Lake 22″.  The hike was spectacular – especially on the day we went, because of all the fog, and the rich autumn colors.  I was truly in awe.
