Art, in many forms, is what makes me smile, makes me laugh - and makes me cry.

--art is why I get up in the morning, but my definition ends there
and it doesn't seem fair,that I'm living for something I can't even define--ani d.

Help me define it.

    keri ivy is seeing things for the first time says:

    "I am ashamed that it has taken me so long to write this because I have been meaning to for so long, but my procrastination is not a reflection of my respect and admiration for Kate. Kate is a wonderfully kind and thoughtful person and that comes through in her art. Kate is maybe the most inspirational person on flickr for me because she is a relative newcomer to photography like me yet she pushes herself to explore the side of herself that many of us including myself are sometimes to afraid to confront.

    Kate will make you laugh sometimes and she will occasionally make you cry, she will sometimes make you take a hard look at yourself and ask you to answer some hard questions but she will ALWAYS make you feel important. Kate makes everyone of her contacts feel like they are intrinsic to her artist process and she is genuine in her interest and concern for her flickr friends and seems to build a personal and individual relationship with each person she communicates with.

    For me Kate is a driving force keeping me involved in flickr, even when I am feeling my darkest and most frustrated artistically. Kate will not let you flounder but she won't let you languish in self pity either. My flickr experience wouldn't be the same and not nearly as fulfilling without SallyRye's Photostream. It isn't often you can say that someone's art has made you a better person and I can say that about Kate. I don't just admire her art, but also I consider her a friend. I feel privileged to be a part of Kates flickr universe and honored when she comments on my photostream.

    Kate's art is a window to who she really is and when you peer through that window you will see tenderness and a grace of spirit that sometimes feels rare in todays world. Courageous and powerful, she is the crunchy crispy kind and moving and caring she is the gooey cream filled kind to. Either way Kate is Delicious. I jus luv er."

    "This woman has grown so much since the first time I saw her stream. I have seen her transition to her SLR and she has caught the hang of it so beautifully. I admire her pure, and tangible self portraits. She has this soft touch to her images that are so lovely. SallyKATE's love for photography shows through her work greatly. xo"

    "Kate....what can I say about her? She is uber talented. I find her work so different......which is refreshing. She is getting the hang of her camera so very welll and I love HOW OPEN she is with the flickrite nation. She is just her and nobody else......not many people can truly say that. I am inspired by her.....and I am so happy to call her a friend. If you are looking for realness......then look no further cause what you see is what you get. To me.....that is AWESOME!"

    "SallyRye is terrific. She's honest, she's nice, she's fun, and she's growing as a photographer by leaps and bounds. Her work here creates a tremendous sense of starting somewhere and going somewhere else en route to personal development. Watching her grow is a fantastic experience, and one that helps us grow too."

    "Kate is one of the most kick-ass people I've met on here! I can't say enough good things about her. She is a very caring person and wonderful friend. As far as her photography goes, she inspires me daily! She puts herself out there and pushes herself to do more and learn more, about her herself and her photography. She is one amazing person! I'm so lucky to have found her on here :o) I definitely consider her a friend!"

    "I am very glad to have Met This woman. the first thing that struck me about her was the honesty that each of her photographs pulsed with. I could quickly got a feel for who she was because each post she made told a piece of her story. I also got to know who she was by how she treated her stream: she doesn't post and run and wait for everyone to pat her on the back, she charts her progress and responds to those that comment on her. she shows humility and appreciation and these things are refreshing.
    I have to say that her's is one of my favorite streams to visit and I am always excited to hear what she has to say of my own work, I respect her work and her opinion greatly."
