Of her work, photographer  Katie Weidenboerner says, “In a world
where the idea of time and its effect on our culture are both ever-
changing and ambiguous concepts, my relationship to my camera
has been a complex obsession.

“I get up every morning, think about straight photography and say
to myself — I need to do this. Quite simply, a picture is worth a
thousand words and, for posterity, I want to choose the images and
thousands of words we will be remembered by.”

One of the most important elements of her work is the intertwining
of image and word. The photographer uses a Mamiya 7 or Canon
30D to capture her images. Being trained in manual photography,
the newspaper industry and convenience of digital photography led
her to use both mediums.

She was educated at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, NY
under the direction of photography masters Michael Spano and
Joel Sternfeld.  Later she would go to Burren College of Art in
Ballyvaughan, County Clare, Ireland to study abroad for one
semester.

She has worked with Mary Ellen Mark as an intern at Falkland
Road Studios in New York City; as a research assistant to
Photography Curator Marvin Heiferman; as office manager for the
Elk County Council on the Arts; a journalist and photographer for
the St. Marys Daily Press and Courier Express/Tri-County Sunday
newspapers; she has also worked on many commercial projects for
local businesses, as well as candid portrait sessions for families
and events.

She has had a successful one woman show at the Flemish House
Art Gallery in Johnsonburg, and has been published in
Pennsylvania Magazine.

Currently, the artist is working to develop a series of abstract
images influenced by those who have fallen in the Iraq War, a
documentary photography project focusing on the nuclear
experimentation which occurred in the Quehanna Wild area in the
1950’s, and is experimenting in the darkroom using a photographic
developer made out of coffee.
