BAGELS!

It's been a while since we all got together to make bagels, but I think life events like these are about as evergreen as they come. What a night. . .

and now we're back

Hey everyone.

After quite the sabbatical, I'm back to reality. Working at TSN and shooting sporadically, I was told I'd be de-linked if I didn't update soon.

So without further adieu, I bring you Applefest: 2008.

We're off. . .

On an epic, life altering road trip! Check out my progress at katie-jeana.blogspot.com

I probably won't be updating this one as much, but I'll try to keep up.

Thanks for looking. . .

Oh Golf, how thee I love

Shot golf yesterday. It was cold and miserable and I couldn't find anybody so I just zoomed around in a golf cart. But I usually enjoy shooting the sport because it gives you the opportunity to really get creative. I tried with these shots, and am not wholly unhappy with the results.

I bought a 50

And it's lovely. It's a 1.4, 50 mm fully manual beauty. This was one of my first picture with it.

sometimes things get awkward

Mama Ya Photos Continued

Mama Ya

On Sunday my project published, which was really cool. Overall I'm extremely pleased with how it turned out. My project was about a woman who mentors young women, and occasionally men, in our community. Her students call her Mama Ya, and she ends up being a parental figure for many of them. I really admire how freely she gives of her time and limited resources to try and guide as many of these kids as she can.

These are the photos that published with it. . . though not necessarily in that order. You can also check out the soundslides at:

I hope you all enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed working on it. . . which, come to think of it, I probably will continue to do.

Nothing is ever finished.
