♥KatB Photography♥'s photostream

The above is a small portion of my new image of my new series! In order to see the rest and continue following the project, go to MY NEW STREAM

First off, thank you for reading--I really appreciate all the love and support everyone shows me on a daily basis. I don't thank you all enough, nor do I do remotely enough for you. I hope you realize how grateful I am, always!

I have a pretty exciting announcement regarding the direction my art is taking! I have recently acquired a model in which I plan on doing a series of 3 images interpreting Ophelia. I met her, we had a wonderful chat, and we will be shooting these images the first and second weeks of January. I'm SO EXCITED!! I've never worked with a model before so this will be an interesting experience for me...but I'm confident that this is the beginning of an entirely new chapter for me

However, I won't be posting to this account anymore after this--why you ask? My pro account expires on January 1st and I figure that's the best time to change over to my new flickr account...new beginnings! So if you like my work FOLLOW MY NEW STREAM--I won't be posting to this one anymore.

My new years goal is to participate more in flickr--comment, fave, and view much more than I have been doing. It's the very least I can do to thank everyone who takes the time to do so for me.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a wonderful 2012!

My new blog!
My new photography formspring!

Long time no see! I've been busy with work lately and have had no time to be inspired let alone to get out and start shooting again. But this week I only work one day and last week i was filled with an immense amount of inspiration and passion for art again.

This image was a few days in the making and took me about 7 hours of the span of two days to edit it. I made it up to about 110 layers...this was by far the most extreme edit I've done in a long time. But I explain more about the origins of the image in my new blog.

In fact there's a lot of new happening around here. I decided to start up a new flickr page for anyone to go to. I'll be posting images here for a month (until my pro account expires) but then I will be mainly posting over at the other account...so jump on board before I make the big switch!

Why change it up? Well...I want a fresh new start. I want this place to still be here as a momento to where I've been in this photographic journey, but I want to start anew to commemorate my future journey.

Another new feature is my photography blog. I've started about a million of them and never followed through...however, I decided to split my personal livejournal in two since I ALWAYS update my livejournal. But because my personal LJ is full of very personal issues and opinions, it is set to private. Only those who have a livejournal and become my mutual friend will see those entries. However, those entries that pertain to my photo blog will be posted as public for 7 days after I post the entry/image. After that they will be put to private. If you'd like to see them, feel free to make a LJ if you do not have one and you'll be added as a friend to view only the photo blog entries.

It's kinda confusing I know, but it's really the only way I foresee keeping up with a photography blog and protecting my privacy too :-S

I absolutely didn't intend on doing this what-so-ever...not a single part of this image was in my original plan lol but I'm not going to say what it is so I can attempt it again later...but unfortunately it's going to have to be much later. I got a seasonal job at Best Buy and complications with transportation mixed with Black Friday mean no free time to myself...it also doesn't help that we're trying to move within the next month 0.0

ANYWAY, this image isn't deeply personal to me and I'm kinda iffy about it...but I'm going to assume that's from staring at it so long trying different techniques and editing processes.

I wanted to enter this into Brooke Shaden's contest but I'm not sure yet...I might as well lol I won't have time before the end of the month to do anything else unfortunately

Kinda a continuation of my other picture...I didn't really mean for it to be, but it is.

Was inspired by my overall down, lonely, sad mood...I feel like I'm trying so hard to fit in but it's just not happening...then I blame myself because of my insecurities...
