so apparently this is now a landscape blog. . .

But whatever, I totally am down with pretty pictures of nature.

Shot this one a bit after dawn this morning on Center Lake in Michigan Center. Last night was the first frost of the fall; it was fairly mild so by the time the sun rose most of it had melted. Just thought the scene was worth stopping for.

Thanks for looking.

Grand Haven Seriousness

This weekend Marcus and I went to my dear, dear friends Jeana and Dylan's wedding in Grand Have. I promised myself I wasn't going to view the entire weekend through a lens, so I satisfied my itch to shoot by taking a walk to the beach shortly after we arrived on Friday. I'll post some personal shots from the weekend later, but for now here are a few seascapes. Thanks for looking.

School Started

Okay, so it was a while ago, but I found these photos I shot last month of a local middle and high school combining. The assignment was to shoot seventh grade orientation as they checked out the high school and tried to find their place in it. I felt pretty good about this assignment after I shot it, so I thought I'd keep up with the posting and whatnot. Thanks for looking.

Combat Operations are Over. . . ish

On Tuesday I shot another National Guard battery departure. I've been shooting these for probably six or seven years now, and they're always difficult.

I hope my photographs did some justice to the pride, sacrifice and love evident in these people during some of their final moments together.

Thanks for looking.

RUN

I had a really good time shooting a cross country meet yesterday. Some nice light combined with a visually appealing course made from some images I feel pretty good about. Thanks for looking.

NASCAR Dreams

I shot my first NASCAR race this past weekend. . . very interesting experience. I was pretty happy with my photos, though not quite pleased as punch. I've got some ideas for next season. . . see you in June.

Beach Day

This is one from a feature hunt today that didn't make the cut for edit. The boys spent most of their time horsing around, yelling, moving etc. In short, they were being boys and the quiet moment in the raft photo didn't really tell the story accurately. Still, I like calm in between the excitement.

The other two are fellow outtakes I was fond of.

Thanks for looking.

aaaaaannnddd. . . we're back

So sorry for the drought. Hopefully I'm going to get back into posting more often. To start off, here's a frame I shot after I got rained off a golf course.

Best,

Katie
