inside evergreen

For 25 years, the Evergreen Campus Children’s Center has held an annual Bubble Blow in celebration of National Month of the Young Child. They usually plan for the last Friday in April, but had to reschedule this year due to the weather. On Tuesday the 24th, they took advantage of a break in the rain to create bubbles in Red Square. Many of the children’s parents came and joined in the event, at which all are welcome. Click here to view the One Minute Bubble Blow!

Take a ride through the Japanese city of Kobe and surrounding
Kansai region with photographer and Evergreen faculty member Bob Haft. In this
series titled “Omiyage” which are what the Japanese traditionally call the
souvenir gifts which are given to friends and family, Haft brings a series
portraying the “Daily visual gifts” he received while living in Japan as an
Exchange Faculty at the University of Hyogo in Kobe.

Born and raised in Walla Walla, Haft bought a second-hand box-style camera in the late
1960s. While shooting with that camera, he became hooked on making photographs.
Since then Haft has traveled extensively in Europe, Asia, and South America. He
later earned an MFA in photography from Washington State University, and has
been teaching at Evergreen since 1979. To quote Pete Sinclair, one of Haft’s long time friends and
colleagues, “Photographer Bob Haft is one of the less-than-one-percent
of folks who’s visual acuity is sharp enough to see the blue and red at the
edges of the moon’s light spectrum.”

Hannah Pietrick, we already miss you…

Many Greeners met Hannah during her two years as our photographer.  Many more have enjoyed her work, especially her One Minute Evergreens.
