Photoproduction experiments play a key role in these investigations and are used in the search for hadrons with both conventional as well as exotic quantum numbers, such as mesons with gluonic degrees of freedom.<br class=""><br class="">The GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab, features a 9 GeV linearly polarized photon beam incident on a LH2 target, which is surrounded by an almost hermetic detector system. This makes GlueX an ideal tool to search for hadrons in a wide variety of final states with both charged and neutral final state particles, including strange hadrons decaying into kaons.<br class=""><br class="">This talk presents results for from our initial campaign of data taking.</span></div>
