Long Exposure and Late Nights

Spokane is all about seasons. Four of them, in fact. As such, summers tend to be long and warm , which is important when considering things like night markets and long exposures. We happened to catch a calm, slightly warm night, when going out to do long exposure photography. This included a group of local photographers(and classmates,) plus children. There’s a bridge in the U-district that is…

No Kings 2: Spokane Protest

No Kings in Spokane WA at B.A. Clark Oct 18, 2025 taken by Charlee Kyser On October 19,2025 No kings occured in Spokane. The premise is to fight against the attempted dictatorship people are seeing from our current government. I had the opportunity to shoot at this event and found the mix of people and personalities an unusual dyanimic for Spokane but also a way to bring the community…

Spokane Halestorm: An Event Story

On October 11, 2025, The Everest Duality Tour came to Spokane. I had tickets almost right after the event was announced. The Arena is an odd place to photograph, due to the distance and set up. However, we did have center seats and the ability to enjoy the concert. Outside of Arena in Spokane for Everest Tour October 11, 2025 on KODAK Digital Still Camera taken by Charlee Kyser The night…

Okanagan County Ghost towns

We left town early morning, driving through small towns, open lands, and mountain passes. Our first real stop: Bodie, WA. But to get there, we had to travel through Sherman Pass. Entering the pass was startling. The area is surrounded by forest, however, the forest was fire touched, and all that was remaining were acres upon acres upon miles of burned trees. This is portrayed slightly in one of…

On The Street, Again

July 3rd, 2025 Spokane hosted a carnival that we decided to attend. The atmosphere was calm and almost sleepy. The event was low key, but was able to get some okay shots, while shooting from the hip. Shooting street photography in Spokane makes me miss Seattle and Federal way, as it felt like there was always something going on. Street, for me, is about documenting people and relationships plus…

You Should See Me in A Crown

Idea for photo shoot from Billy Eilish and current woman rights issues We have been taught for centuries that girls and woman are meant to be seen, not heard. We are not supposed to be loud, or strong, or independent. We are meant to depend on others and be dainty and soft spoken. She, however, stands against the idea of softness. She is a princess in dresses, with the attitude of a queen. She…

Along the Path

We drove along a path that was winding back and forth, at Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, all the while watching for some sort of wildlife to show itself. It was late fall and the snow had yet to fall, though the earth seemed to be crawling back into itself, to start a long torpor session. As such, nothing large came lumbering out of the dying grasses or slowly sneaked around the shorelines of…

Continuing Into the Unknown

I have created this body of work, in Cyanotype, as a testament to heading “Into the Unknown.” We often take paths in life that lead to places we may not expect, similar to taking paths or even roadways. There may be a destination, but we may not always know what we will locate at that destination, in this way. I have created a body of photographs depicting unknown trails leading to unknown…

Just the Start

I have photographed the world around since I was eight years old. I started on a 35mm for summer camps and family trips. By thirteen, I was in love. I asked for a camera, that year. Digital was starting to take hold, but I wanted to continue in film, feeling like digital was cheating, even then. I wanted a camera that had some of the views and settings on the back yet film. As I was asking for…

Bottle Shots

For a studio class, we were supposed to do a bottle shot. There was snow on the ground, which I chose to use to keep the wine cold. I looked into what went well with cabernets and went for a picnic like feel . This shot was the final result, but after speaking wth others, I have realized I should have leaned heavier on the grateful dead theme and followed that idea. While I have seen wine in…

A Struggle in Still Life

My first still life: a moment of chaos, is what this photo should be named. I went into the studio knowing I had to complete a still life for class. I had ideas, like a thousand of them. I brought items for each idea, which, as you can imagine, meant I had a massive box of seemingly random things to sort through. So, when I got there, with three hours to complete set-up, tear-down and shooting,…

Into his Eyes

Taken in 2022 at Woodland Park Zoo We walk along the path, following children calling out to one another, and parents trying to contain excitement into single lines. The air is warm, for Western Washington, and the animals are lounging and playing. New announcements of babies born and the excitement of the unknown, heard in voices and giggles. In an inside “viewing area,” a Primate stares at us…

Once Upon a Reflection

Taken in 2021 At Woodland Park Zoo The path continues past the wetlands full of ducks and other avians, past the cranes, past the maned wolves and Red Pandas, to open up abruptly to a sea of pink. Flamingos stand side by side, one leg up in a typical Flamingo pose. A Moment of isolation occurs with a bill dipped to the water, creating an uncertainty on where the bill ends and the water begins.…

To be a Queen

Africa Wildlands 2021 at Woodland Park Zoo She sits regally upon a rock, watching cubs below. Her mate wonders around the edge of the enclosure, staring at crying children before unceremoniously plopping on hay. She, however, watches on. The true protector, the true instigator. Watching your every move, and those of her playful cubs. She is aware you are there, even when you forget that she…
