Sally is a photographer who began her career as a photojournalist, then transitioned into teaching. She does the occasional documentary project and the random strange photo. She teaches darkroom, documentary, and digital photography at Shorewood High School. Sally had a show of work from a Seattle CityArtist grant at Yesler Terrace housing project in 2009 and did a commissioned book for the owners of the Buffalo Chip biker campground and music venue in Sturgis, South Dakota in 2005.
Sally believes that the creation of a photograph is a transformative experience: it takes the photographer outside of him or herself and forces them to interact with the wider world. But, at the same time, it compels the photographer to look inward and examine and express how they see the world. This is a good thing and something YIF does well; on our good days, we are all photographers. As Gomez says, “See the world; find an old fashioned girl…”
Sally lives with her husband Casey Corr in Seattle. They have two grown kids, an aging yellow dog, and an even older white cat. Sally loves to fish, ride, and breathe the air in Eastern Washington—where she will never live since her husband is a city boy.
