confusion

 Hello all! My last post got me thinking about my goals for this blog. Honestly I am not sure which direction this blog is heading I thought it was fashion but I have come to terms with the fact that well...Im not very trendy. I love writing and I love documenting the world around me but sometimes I feel guilty for my sporadic post schedule and my lack of a theme. I have some things to think about. In the meantime I have created a tumblr. Yep! and it is just my photos! As I rediscover my love for photography it is a simple space where I can share my photos and interact with other photographers. Take a look and tell me what you think. Thanks for looking. Love Mrs. Kate.

sometimes I take photos.

As an artist I have dabbled in several mediums. From painting to pottery I have struggled to find my niche. The ways I choose to express myself have changed over the years and unfortunately I am not really, really good at one thing but sort of okay at a variety of different things. One of these mediums is photography. I studied photography in school and really loved the creative processes found in the dark room. While dark room printing is a thing of the past I am becoming more and more interested in Photoshop and other ways of warping and changing my photographs.  Of course, this means that I have been playing with my camera again and taking a lot of self portraits. Picking up my camera has been a difficult and lonely road but I am excited to reacquaint myself with the medium.

I used to take pictures of other people but since I am sort of new to my digital camera I have been taking a lot of self portraits. I hate it when you go to take someones pic and you have to struggle with the exposure settings! So until I am comfortable I am focusing on myself and my surroundings.


Black and white will always be my favorite. Growing up, I used to carry two cameras around, one with color film and the other with black and white. It is so fun to simply take a photo with a digital camera and then decide later if it should be in color....HA! This makes me sound so old!
Thanks for looking. Love, Ms. Kate.

Where have you been?


 Oh Hello!! Sorry guys...I disappeared! I didn’t mean to but I realized that sometimes life
is just too good and you have to enjoy it. With the schedule of blogging, I get caught up in trying to document everything and this summer I just stopped. I did not intend to vanish but the sun was so bright, and everyone was having such a great time, and I became overwhelmed with love and happiness.

No depression, no sadness. I purposely surrounded myself with happy, creative people and had a blast! After searching for a community in Connecticut I have found it! This may not be the artistic mecca but I have found my roots and am finally happy to call this place home.

My house is awesome, my husband is superb and now the community and friendships we’ve been building have magnificently blossomed. I feel so blessed.

When I was little I used to dream of moving to the city and living as a struggling artist. In all its romantic appeal, I dreamed of living with painters and peddling art to make food money. Now that I am a little older the idea of living off the grid like that has lost its appeal. Yet the notion of surrounding myself with creative people continues to be important to me. Between the play I was in, the art shows I was a part of and exploring the artistic scenes of Connecticut I was constantly inspired this summer. Life is good. It feels good to be inspired and to laugh. I’m finally home and am so grateful.

I’ve been taking lots of pictures, reading a ton, studying and designing. I plan on blogging when I can so please keep in touch! Thanks for looking. Love, Ms. Kate
