Life as encountered by a [former] art student in Milwaukee, Wisc.

So yeah, I pretty much really want to go to Nevada. It seems like the right thing to do.

Here's the down and dirty: I am a graphic designer kicking it in Milwaukee and looking for a way to use my skills to make the world a better place.
Or at least more friendly.

And I like to take lots of pictures.

Of everything.

I take my camera with me most places. And when I don't have it with me, I start to feel a little anxious.

Dig?

Kaarin says:

"Bean uses photography to document life, hers and those going on around her, in a really wonderful way. It is not flashy or overstated, but simple and honest! She truly has a talent for capturing moments and experiences in a beautiful way :)"

racingsquirrel says:

"Smart, sassy, and possessing a sense of purpose, Kelley is the best friend that you never had. With an intuitive sense of style and inner drive to make things happen, The Bean is destined for great things. Even a brief perusal of her work to date, will deliver the drink that you never knew that you needed, but for which you thirst."

I Love Milwaukee says:

"The Illustrious Bean's photography is a rare combination of serious artistry and unpretentious humanity (much like the artist). Watching her Flickr Photostream is more like a focused documentary of an examined life than repository for random imagery. Her work is at once striking and bold yet as inviting as a snapshot. Truly remarkable."

"The Bean truly sees the world. Not as it is, or as it should be, but she sees the world with her eyes. Thank the universe for people who look."
