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

Well hello there new decade!  It’s been awhile since I’ve updated – and for once it was not my fault (server upgrades).  Unfortunately the majority of my comments got deleted somewhere along the line.  Maybe my faithful followers will leave me new ones

I got to spend two-and-a-half weeks back in my home mitten state.  I spent a few days with my boyfriend’s family in the SE, a few days in Grand Rapids (yay Flickr friends!), and a ton of days relaxing in Petoskey!

I’m back in rainy Seattle now… no complaints from this snow-hater
I’m happy to report that Joel and I have acquired an amazing apartment to move into next month, some great IKEA furniture, and I even started working again!  Photography is an expensive little endeavor, as was college

Well, then again, snow is great for one thing… photographs!  Here are my favorites from over the holidays:

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!

I Set My Friends On Fire:

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.
