My name is T.K. Goforth and I am a photographer, musician, and author from the Seattle area.  My motto is, "Life is too short not to live it in color!"   Black and white is so overrated -- live life colorfully!

​​

Before becoming a photographer (in my later years,) I traveled internationally with a musical group called "Continental Singers."  While in Africa, we worked with teams from World Vision International, in the nations of Mali, Mauritania, and Senegal, and raised over $1 million that year for world hunger.  In Kenya, we shared "The Jesus Film" with nomadic tribes which was dubbed into their own language.  I love the African people and the beautiful continent.  

​

Since then, I became a piano teacher, and wrote  a book called, "Chord Piano Is Fun," which was written out of my desire to learn to accompany myself as a singer.  I had sung with a big band and jazz combos since my days with Continental Singers -- but had never been able to play for myself.  After self-study and using my knowledge on my piano students as "guinea pigs," I published the manuscript and it has been used by other piano teachers and students, with great reviews.  

​

I am currently working on another book called, Freedom From The "ICK," (everyone has their own "ick",) which should be released late 2025.  It is about my journey out of suicidal depression.  I am using this book to teach others how they can be free themselves, and they ARE becoming free!

​

In 2010, I began to delve into photography and found that I loved it.  My photography is the "canvas" for my artwork. I create unique works of art with lots of color, and I enjoy using textures and filters.  Though I also create with graphic arts, using my own photography is my passion.

​

I love capturing the beauty and color of nature -- from magnificent landscapes to magestic bald eagles, to the tiniest of creatures. Whether I am strolling through a garden or peering through the window of an airplane, I am in awe of what I see. Despite the world being filled with hate, loneliness and despair, it contains far more beauty and delight. When I take in all that exists in this natural world, I get lost in it. I have realized that our Creator is full of color -- and in the midst of His beauty,  I see that He smiles.
