M. Goeller has been a photographer since childhood. By age 12, her Brownie
box camera was replaced with a 35mm camera. By age 16, she was working during
summer vacation for her mentors, Ross Hall and Duane “Cap” Davis at the Ross
Hall Studio in Sandpoint, Idaho. They put the “kid” through a crash
course, turning her loose with a 4x5 Graflex sheet film camera photographing
their studio's assignments for the Associated Press. Visualize a sixteen-year
old teenage girl photographing the 1964 Western Governor’s Conference by
herself with a 4x5 Graflex sheet film camera! Working for two photographers who had both been published
in National Geographic Magazine, was one very lucky break!
After
graduating from the University of Washington with a degree in art
education, Goeller worked for the Eugene Reminder Newspaper as a
writer/photographer for a year before becoming a high school art and
photography teacher. She earned a Masters degree from the University of
Oregon in Art Education. Her thesis, Teaching Photographic Light and Composition,
paved the way for the rest of her teaching career. She spent 32 years
teaching photography, art and computer graphic design to thousands of students.
Former students include National Geographic photographer David Littschwager,
and Smithsonian TV Network Vice President Charles Poe. To this day, she
still loves to share ideas with other photographers as a way of “paying it
forward.” In 2014, she launched this blog which is intended to fulfill that
mission.
Back in the 1990's, she received an award from Eastman Kodak for “Cameras in
the Curriculum” for excellence in photographic education and has a lot of
photography tips to share.
