Earl Christie Photography bio picture

Thanks for checking out my blog

I've always seen the world as though I were looking at it through a camera, focusing on details or color and shape in my mind, and freezing moments that were special and dear to me. As a kid, the plastic viewfinder of my Kodak Instamatic seemed a natural way to frame my experiences and share them with others. Later, studying film and working in television revealed the power of using images to tell stories. And that's what I do today; tell stories of blossoming love, deep family connection, and momentous occasions though images framed in my minds eye.

Mountain Workshops in Murray, Kentucky

I just got back from The Mountain Workshops, a intense week-long workshop down in Murray, Kentucky. Every year since 1976, Western Kentucky University’s photojournalism department has selected one town in Kentucky and created a workshop that documented a week in it’s life as a means of training participants to be better photojournalists. Though not a photojournalist myself, I attended the Mountain Workshops to learn from and be inspired by some of the top photojournalists in the country. 

Today I discovered that our work attracted some national attention. A number of the best images from the workshop were displayed on the front page of MSNBC.com.
