The place where I live, the Tashiro Kalpaln Artist Lofts, had it’s annual open house party last Thursday. Amber and I hung our photos in an empty loft space that also happened to be where all the donated food was, so we had lots of visitors. Even better, the live music and bar was right outside the window. It was a great night. I put up 15 of my framed travel photos and several figure drawings. Got lots of comments and even made a sale. Yay! Amber sold a photo as well. Amber and I, along with fellow residents Eli and Jeppa were the “event planners” and I’m proud to say that the event had the biggest resident participation ever, and the attendance figures were way up from last year. Everybody did a great job of setting up and making the event successful and I am hoping we can have a big event like this again next spring.

I’m working for National Geographic next week…
..as a photo assistant. Still, I’m really excited about this assignment. Kevin Horan is a great photographer with whom I’ve assisted a handful of times. I can’t mention exactly what we will be doing, but let me just say it has to do with MONKEYS!
I love me some monkeys.
11.5% isn’t much, but it’s a start.
All of the places I’ve visited: A mere 11.5% of the world. It’s almost unbelievable how large the world is. I feel like I’ve seen so much of the world, yet in reality, I’d need several lifetimes (and a large sum of money) to see every country with any sense of depth. I haven’t traveled to new lands in over a year, so I am getting itchy feet. Wish I could afford to go exploring. Need to get that dream photography gig that takes me to the Seychelles, or Paris, or Slovakia, or Peru, or New Zealand, or…
visited 26 states (11.5%)

Order the book!
Ok, I’m out of books. You want one of my books, you’ve got to order it online. Click here:
It’s a non-profit book. Price is only a few bucks more than the cost of printing, and those few bucks go towards U.S. Campaign for Burma and WildAid.org.
NEW BOOK!
Two years ago today, I was in Vietnam. A year ago today, my sweet cat Grover died. Today, I am releasing a book on my travels to SE Asia. Life is happy-sad-bittersweet. I also want to mention to all of you who do not know…the house where I’ve been living the last 16 YEARS is soon going to be sold. I will be moving…at long last. The very idea of packing 16 years of collected things and moving makes my stomach burn and leaves me unable to sleep. Anyway, check out my book… and buy one.
New Feature On Website
The Featured link on my gregwhitephoto.com homepage now shows images from my recent show at PulpLab Gallery. Yeah!

Sign in Myanmar – to instill fear.
PEOPLE’S DESIRE
To Oppose those relying on external elements, acting as stooges, holding negative views (of the government).
To Oppose those trying to jeopardize stability of the state and progress of the nation.
To Oppose foreign nations interfering in internal affairs of the State.
To Crush all internal and external destructive elements as the common enemy.
Of any place in the world the US should be meddling, it’s here. This government is horrible. Worse even than China.
RTW SHOW in October
Yippie! I am having a show of 22 photos from my trip around the world! The show opens on October 13th at the PulpLab Gallery in Ballard (Ballard Ave and Dock St). Oct 13th is also the Ballard Artwalk, so it should be a good time. Prices for 12×18 framed prints are very reasonable so you should come down a buy your favorite before they all sell out, which they (fingers crossed) will. However, if your favorite sells, remember I can print another one. Get on the invite list by sending me an email or posting a response here.
NEW RTW PHOTOS GALLERY
Hi favorite people. I have moved my website to a new server and upgraded my photo gallery to Gallery 2.0. It’s pretty cool. You can watch slide shows full screen, add ratings and comments to the photos and albums, register as a user, and lots more. There are some tricky navigation things that I am still working on. The little grey icons in the upper corners do all kinds of things. There’s a sidebar that pops out that lets you add comments, view as a slide show, navigate to other albums, and even shows a random image that you can jump to. The image views also show a little box of thumbnails of other nearby images. What I don’t like about it is that you can click on a link back to the main gallery page, which is where all the images for my website, Northern Light Agency, and Shark & Yeti wedding photography live. I’d rather that the link only goes back to the main RTW gallery page, like I could do with the old Gallery version. Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think.
