Last Saturday we went to the Fremont Solstice Parade and Fair, here in Seattle. The parade is a salute to summer founded in 1972 and is one of the city’s most beloved events. The fair is held annually in June to coincide with the arrival of the Summer Solstice and draws more than 100, 000 [...]
Each year in April we pack up the cameras and head north to the Skagit valley to take in the local color. Located sixty miles north of Seattle and sixty miles south of Canada, the valley is famous for its yearly festival celebrating the arrival of spring. The festival is a celebration of all things tulip. While other flowers [...]
Friday night was the first game of a three game series between the Seattle Mariners and the Detroit Tigers. It was also Jackie Robinson day, so in honor of his achievements, Major League Baseball outfitted all of its players with Robinson’s number 42. The Mariners did not play on Thursday, the official day, so all [...]
Last weekend we photographed the 2010 Northwest Dance Extravaganza in Seattle. The event was presented by the Dance Workshop’s Lynn Offutt and crew. This was the 26th anniversary of the Spring event and featured many talented performers from across the country. The Extravaganza is an all day event and we arrived for the daytime priogram which [...]
Last Friday was the start of the Cues and Tattoos weekend workshop event hosted each year by Troupe Hipnotica here in Seattle. This was the 3rd annual event, focusing entirely on the use of improvisational choreography within a Tribal Belly Dance structure. The hosts are a group of eight performers who dance to music from around [...]
Last Saturday was the ninth annual Portland Urban Iditarod. The contest mimics the famous annual Alaskan Iditarod, but in the sprit of keeping Portland weird this contest uses humans instead of dogs, and shopping carts instead of sleds. The course is four miles though scenic downtown Portland Oregon in heavy traffic, with four stops for [...]
This weekend in Portland, at least 60 sleds will be pulled by dogs across a section of Portland. By sleds I mean shopping carts and by dogs I mean people. It’s called the Portland Urban Iditarod and we’ll be there photographing the shenanigans. To get an idea of what I mean by shenanigans, the following [...]
Last Thursday evening we had our third show at the Alchemy Gallery in Pioneer Square, Seattle. The Alchemy is a spacious location with twists and turns and little hidden nooks for private viewing. For this show all of the photographers for Natasha Reed Photography were in town to share their work and take part in the opening. The last show featured [...]
On February 20, we attended the National Yo-Yo League Pacific Northwest Regional Championships at the Seattle Center downtown. The regionals split the country into nine competitive areas in an attempt to find the best player in the nation. The contest featured players from around the Northwest, including some of the best that Seattle had to [...]
Last Thursday evening we stopped into Marcus’ Martini Heaven to see our friend Ben Bruce perform. The venue is a basement pub in Pioneer Square on Yesler, part of the old Seattle Underground. There’s a spacious bar, with a beautifully lit wall filled with every possible alcohol imaginable, waiting to be served by a friendly [...]
The bulbs sprouting everywhere in Seattle are either in the process of being tricked by the signs of an early Spring, or El Niño’s voodoo is real and the flowers will be here a month early. I’m ready for the daffodils and tulips to go crazy, they’re my favorite flowers and I couldn’t live in [...]
Friday night we had a great time photographing the 7th Student Salsa Dance Competition at Belltown Dance Studio. Jim Chow hosted an exciting evening of dinner and dancing at their new location in Belltown. The evening started out with the dance competitors warming up with Jim and Wendy in the studio and a prefunk dinner [...]
Saturday, April 4th, we had the pleasure of photographing the 2009 NW Dance Extravaganza. It was the most extravagant fun we’ve had all winter! The event was very well organized by Lynn Offutt and the dancers were both beautifully costumed and danced wonderfully. This was our first dance competition to shoot and we were absolutely [...]
