It’s gorgeous here in Seattle, a great time to take a walk downtown and visit us here at Steven Fey Photography. We recently went trekking through the Mountain Loop Highway on the first day it was opened after all the severe flooding. We explored the North Fork Falls in the Sauk River. It was beautiful! We discovered many very full streams and waterfalls. For one shot, we got our gear unpacked, fiddled with the tripod in the mud, swat some hungry mosquitos, got big bertha all set up for a great shot of river, rocks, trees, afternoon light, and then…the wind came. Ah, the wind. So, we waited. We haven’t developed them yet, but we will soon. Keep an eye out, as we will post them on the website soon. I think we got some great shots.

Steven has been spending a good amount of time developing Ilfochrome prints. We’ll be framing some of these and hanging them in the gallery soon.

On July 10th, Steven joined the Wilderness Society at the Olympic Sculpture Park to celebrate the beautiful North Cascades. Check it out when you are in town.

Seattle is beautiful right now, and it’s a great time to get your portrait taken. It’s a wonderful experience. Steven Fey will photograph you and your family in a setting of your choice in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. It will be a treasure to last a lifetime. Call the gallery and set up your appointment right away.

The gallery has continued its support of environmental organizations this month. We have started working with the Sierra Club to help them support their donors in their Washington Legacy council. In March, the Sierra Club and the gallery hosted a reception for the Legacy Council members. Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels attended and spoke about climate change and the movement within city government to reduce carbon emissions and conserve energy resources. We thank the Sierra Club and the Mayor for helping to make for such an enjoyable and stimulating evening at the gallery.

On Friday, April 11th the Seattle Times ran an article about Senator Patty Murray and the anticipated passage of legislation to bring the Wild Sky Wilderness Area into reality. The Times article was illustrated with a photograph of Eagle Lake in the Wild Sky that Steven made last summer while shooting the Wilderness Society. We thank the Wilderness Society for including the image on their press release and look forward to the final passage of this bill which will perserve the Wild Sky Wilderness area in the North Cascades.

Steven’s image “Spring Aspens, ” graced the cover this month of the American Psychologist, the primary journal of the American Psychological Association. This is our second American Psychologist cover. We thank Sandy Fowler and the APA editorial staff for helping to make these covers a reality.

Finally this month, there has been a change or personnel at the gallery. Brie Everard will be leaving the gallery director position but will be staying on as our Digital Imaging Specialist. Caron d’Amelio is the new Gallery Director. Caron comes to us from Kirsten Bunney Gallery in Maui, HI. Please call or stop by the gallery, and we can show you our beautiful landscapes in color or black and white, set up a portrait session or arrange for a private party.
