IDENTIFYING FEATURES: Three tattoos of note - (1) On her right forearm is a tattoo of horror writer H.P. Lovecraft; (2) snaking her her right leg from ankle to upper thigh is a tattoo of a chain, complete with a tattoo of a leather restraint around her right ankle. The third tattoo is of her favorite sporting club, Liverpool F.C., in the center of her back, a rainbow pride liverbird with the words "You'll Never Walk Alone" in calligraphic cursive across the top and her initials, KRM and the date she came out to her parents - July 4, 2010 (7-4-10) - along the bottom.
OVERALL. Short but full of spice is about the best way to describe Kate; bright blue eyes frame a pixieish face with bright shoulder-length reddish hair ; she has a short dancer's lithe frame, which she keeps in shape through running and other exercise. Most days she wears your typical photographer's wardrobe - photog's vest w/numerous pockets, a light blouse and cargo pants w/boots; off the job she dresses mainly in sweats or shorts and a t-shirt (regardless of whether she's back home in Seattle or in southern Africa)
the personality
POSITIVE TRAITS. fearless, adventurous, risk-taker, lively
NEGATIVE TRAITS. flippant, defiant, sassy, swears like a sailor
OVERALL. Kate's personality is that of someone who loves life, loves herself, loves her friends and family and lives life full-throttle; to her, its' the only way to live - especially given what she does for a living. Yes, she carries a chip on her shoulder but she figures that if people don't accept her for who she is, why worry about them?
the history
FATHER. R.J. McCready (NSF helicopter pilot, retired - 58yo)
MOTHER. Cordelia McCready (Professor Emeritus of American History, University of Washington - 61yo)
SIBLINGS. n/a
OTHER FAMILY. numerous relatives across western Washington state
HOMETOWN. Seattle, Washington
OVERALL. Growing up in the shadow of Washington state's Mt. Rainier, Kate MacCready had a keen sense for history and how all the different facets of it intertwined, not just in her life but in the city of her birth. Her parents R.J. & Cordelia MacCready encouraged her in everything she did growing up, but it was when she picked up an old Nikon SLR camera that she found her true calling in life - documenting the world's travails, whether at home, aboard, or in her own life; as Kate would say, "Coming out to my parents was easy; it was making the rest of the world accept me for the person I am that is the hard part."
After getting her B.Fa. in Photography & Fine Arts from the University of Washington, Kate looked for work as a news photographer; failing to find work, she took a leap of faith and moved to southern Africa for several years, working as a stringer (freelance photographer) for most of the U.S. news networks (AP, UPI, McClatchy, VOA, etc.), covering stories as varied as the African continent.
At present, Kate McCready is probably one of the top freelance photographers in the world; her photos have been seen in USA Today, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle as well as the Times of London, the Guardian, the Liverpool Echo and Le Monde; about the only news org she won't allow her pictures to be used in is the UK's Sun newspaper due to the paper's virulently anti-LGBT history. Her photos have also been in Time, Newsweek, the Atlantic and the Advocate; it would be safe to say that she knows her cameras and her photography.
That attitude about her life also intertwines with her views on mutants; given her own life's history, she is a fierce and vocal defender of mutant rights but in keeping with her heritage as an Emerald City gal, she's also very respective of opposing points of view.
