In other news, I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! She's basically the most amazing person ever. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

But yes, as far as pictures are concerned, I'm going to upload a few today, including this one pic of some quiche. Being around so much food photography is getting to me. Grrr. But then again, I also get to help one of the other photographers here take pictures of families and babies. The babies are kinda my fav. It's my jobs to make them smile for the pics. xD They are always so much fun. I'm a people person, so it's much more up my alley. You don't get to do much with people with food photography besides chatting with the people involved with the food, but they are always busy. I love it, though. My boss gets a little cranky in is kinda stern when I do something wrong, but I don't let it bug me. He's good at what he does, even if he refuses to explain why he asks me to do certain things. I usually find out the reasoning later, but I'm not a mindless drone, and I like to know WHY I have to drive 50 miles round trip to get a single item from the grocery store instead of asking the company to send it to us. It's all good though. He's a decent person, even if he's sorta cranky. The other photographer, Diana, is really cool. She's the one who does weddings, family portraits, and baby pictures. She used to have my job, so she gives me lots of insight into the why and how to do better. The food stylists are really cool, too. Yes, food stylists. They arrange lettuce leaves and grains of rice with forceps. But yeah, they are really cool. Marti is really amazing with food, and she sometimes brings her dog, Tanner, with her to work. Ana is Marti's assistant, and she is really cool. If my boss, Jon, is particularly stressed out, she always checks to make sure that I'm not upset. Heather does most of the photoshop work here, and she's really cool. If Jon is cranky at her, she gets cranky right back. xD That's mostly everyone. I'm not so good at this whole secretary thing, but I'm getting better. And I'm finally bringing this place up to date with technology. My boss is a complete Luddite. But I finally convinced him to toss out his old printer and scanner and fax machine and get a brand new all in one that he can use wirelessly from all of his computers. xD Next step is to convince him to replace the two computers that are so old they still run Mac OS 9. It's sad. But now I must get back to work. I'm addressing envelopes by hand. Blarg. Until next time!

<3 Always,
Katie L.

*insert drum roll here*

I FINALLY GOT A JOB!!! YAY!!!

I now work in a photography studio as a receptionist and errand girl. Okay, so I don't get to take any pictures, but it's mostly food photography anyways. Not that I'm knocking it. The photos taken here go onto menus and advertisements and wrappers and coupons. All those pics that you never think about anyone taking, those are the ones we take. It's pretty sweet.

The truth of the matter is, though, I'm alone in the studio most of the time. I've been working here eight days so far, and I've been alone in the studio six of those eight days. If I were a cunning person, I would have my model, Lauren, come in, and we would make some good use of the studio. Unfortunately, I'm not a cunning individual, and Lauren is in college in Boston. *grumbles* I need to have my muse here to be at my beck and call. Tis frustrating because anyone I could ask is not nearby. VERY frustrating.

That's all that's really going on in my life right now. So yeah! Until next time!

<3 Always,
Katie L.

I'm also looking for a job. If anyone has any jobs for a poor photographer in SoCal, LEMME KNOW!!! I'm great with the animals and I'm getting pretty darn good at people.

Seriously, guys, ME BROKE!!!

Sorry, I had to get that out. It's been bugging the crap out of me lately, and I needed to get it out.

P.S. Yes, I know I said, "Gets my gullet." I know I'm from California, so I shouldn't even be legally permitted to use such a phrase, but oh well. Deal with it. xD

Backtracking to my summer, Costa Rica was fantastic. Despite the fact that I didn't have my nice camera with me, I still got some pretty epic shots. I have them all up on my Flickr account if anyone cares to look at them. The link is [link]

I'll be more active now that I'm settled in. I also get off for Christmas soon, so expect lots of Christmas pictures in the near future.

<3 Always,
Katie L.

I have always loved photography, and as a kid, I would steal my mom's camera on trips to take pictures of the animals and landscapes whenever we went on vacations. Mostly, they wound up with my finger in the middle of them. I started taking a couple photography classes in seventh grade, with my grandpa's old-fashioned, almost entirely manual camera. I started out taking pictures of posing Beanie Babies (what? gotta start somewhere!), and finally achieved my first really good photo. A head shot of my step-aunt's new Irish Setter puppy, Nell. I'll probably add that one to my gallery soon... if I can find it.

Besides photography, I love to sing, participate in theatre as both an actor and a crew member, and especially dance. I love love LOVE dance. I'm certainly not as good as some of the other girls in my school's dance company, especially because of my back problems, but I don't think I could live without dance. Plus, my dance teacher, Liz, is probably the most amazing dancer/choreographer ever (or at least I think she is), and an all around cool person. I've never had a better dance teacher than her ever, and that says something. I've had seven, I think. Six or seven.

Since I am a dancer, I also model for photographers sometimes, or at least the photographers rather enjoy taking pictures of me while I dance. Liz says it because I just get into this zone when I dance, and no one and nothing can snap me out of it till the song is over and the dance is done. Apparently, it looks pretty cool. "A Sensual Dance" was a picture taken of me by the amazingly talented Eric Emmanuel, the father of one of the girls at my school. I'd put more of those dance photos up, but that would almost feel like cheating, even though I'd give him credit for every single one. I don't take credit for work that isn't mine. We'll see. I might, just because they are really amazing photos, and I like to think that I look pretty darn good in them.

Anywho, the reason why I have a lot of horse pictures, in case you were wondering about that, is I used to ride horses competitively. I rode in hunter/jumper events and really enjoyed it, but I was never able to get very far because of my back problems. Horseback riding requires a very supple back, and it's very hard for my back to be supple when it's shaped like an S. Also, I was starting to get into dance again, and dance and horseback riding have opposite muscle requirements, which make trying to do both very difficult. So, I chose dance. I still go out and visit the horses and take pictures of them, but I hardly get a chance to anymore, even though my mum and younger sister both ride three or four times a week. Mind you, I say "younger sister" instead of "little sister" because even though my sister is three years younger than me, she is about 3 inches taller and 20 pounds heavier. She's really pretty and athletic and muscular, and sometimes, I admit, I envy her. She has a great taste in clothes, and she is gets great grades. I have a rather odd taste in clothing, I don't try very hard in school until I realize I might fail the class if I don't put some effort in, and I am tiny. 5'2" and about 92 pounds right now. Yes, I know. Sickly grossly skinny. But that's only because my ADD medications have this evil side effect of making me lose my appetite. I usually gain the weight back during the summer when I'm off my meds, but even then, the most I've ever weighed in my entire life is 102 pounds.

Okay, so enough about my life. Back to the photography and such. I've never really done a real photo shoot, whether as a model or a photographer. What I've been thinking of doing lately is convincing my bff, Lauren, to do some modeling for me. She has really unique features and the most amazingly gorgeous and voluminous hair ever and the coolest green/gold/brown dragon eyes ever. She'd be great to photograph. I just have to convince her to do it... Well, I'm off to finish studying for my Latin and Physics exams. Until next time!

<3 Katie

P.S. I can't really draw to save my life, but I can sort of draw eyes. I'm sort of obsessed with eyes. Anywho, I might be posting some of my eye drawings soon, and any input on those would be much appreciated. I love advice. Later!
