Everyone should have a few happy places. I’ve been lucky enough to find that Sequim (pronounced “Skwim”), Washington is one of mine and luckier still that I live here.
I like to think that photography is about witnessing the world we live in, recording moments, exploring the overlooked. In a way I listen to quieter sounds of life and give them visual voice.
I have posted on Sequim Daily Photo since August 2011. I consider myself an amateur. I use a Nikon D7200 camera which is usually fitted with a Tamron 18-270 mm or 150-600 mm lens.
Stay curious. Explore and cherish your world.
Thank you for visiting Sequim Daily Photo!
Kay, I know that you do not post your email so I have to use this method to contact you. I promise that I am not a stalker (I think you’ve gathered that already), but I have a small gift for you and need to mail it to you, if you will let me. It is nothing of monetary value, but it may be something you will use and hopefully enjoy over the years. It can go only to you in your part of the country (or perhaps to someone in Provence); I saw it, thought of you and knew that you had to own it. My email is on my profile so send me your address offlist, if you will agree that I found something you will probably enjoy! KateM
Kay,
We are planning to move to Port Townsend or possibly Sequim this summer. We also have a dog and would love to be near walking paths. Would it be possible to contact you about the Dungeness area?
Thank you for all the photos. They make me feel like we’re there aleady.

Kay,
The City of Port Townsend is interested in using your August 23, 2013 photo of the Point Wilson Lighthouse on the cover of its 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update.
Would you please email me about whether we could get a license from you to use the photo?
Thank you very much.
Hi Kay,
My husband and I are fans of your work. We are interested in producing a print on acrylic of a Sequim lavender field in the dimensions of about 6 feet wide by 3 feet tall. Also the Johnson Creek Trestle 68 inches wide and 112 inches tall. We would like to use the Trestle photo to print on a wallpaper and lavender to hang above a couch. We’re looking for the high-resolution images and would be happy to compensate accordingly 🙂
I have missed your photos. I hope all is right in your world. Thank you for all the time you have put into this site.
Hi Kay,
I’m a photographer here in the area…
I may be willing to follow your footsteps.
contact me and we can talk.
This is a note for Kay.
My name is Gary Bullock. I live in Sequim. I have commented several times with Kay over the years about photos and bird identifications, etc.
I was corresponding with a friend re Kay looking for someone to take over the site due to her lymphoma. This friend, Gary Prosch, who is a writer, also here in Sequim, asked me to forward this message to Kay regarding her lymphoma:
“That is what I have. This March, I am going into my 4th year of remission. If you think appropriate, do share my name and email should Kay desire some feedback and support on this condition.”

Thanks so much for passing this on.

Hi Gary,
I did fwd this to Kay back when you sent it…

I am in the process of setting up a fundraising campaign for the Port Angeles Hospital. May I use the Sequim Daily Photo, Sept. 8, 2019 of the hospital taken from the coho? If so how do you want the credit to read?
Yes you may. Colleen Bittner Photography for the credit.
Kay or Colleen – I’m not sure who to address this to, but I am wondering if I can use an image Kay took of Sequim High School in my nonprofit’s next newsletter? I am with Olympic Angels – a foster care nonprofit on the Olympic Peninsula. We don’t feature faces of kids or families in care community as our Peninsula communities are so small – we don’t want foster care to define this already vulnerable population. Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for considering!
sorry just saw this. Unfortunately Kay passed away and I don’t have access to her photos.
