If I Were a Librarian ...

... then all of my shots would look like this. Not really. There were so many silly titles for this one, and man was this FUN!

I ended up having to do my 365 at work, and I was cursing myself until one of our bar men was goofing around in his friend's glasses. I stole them, ran to the bathroom, and snapped away for a couple of minutes, very scared that a customer would walk in at any moment and see ... well, this.

I need these. They rock. And I swear I never knew how to pout until I put the Magic Glasses on. OK, I'm late for bed ... more tomorrow no doubt ... Hey, it's 365 after all!

PS Isn't it weird how my right hand is all elegant-looking [for me] but my left looks twisted and uncomfortable. Ah! The plight of the left hand!

PPS As you can see ... the Cactus V2 remote trigger is pretty much glued to my camera now. I like that :-)

    Awesome glasses! And the expression - perfect.

    These are really cool glasses. I wish my glasses could make me pout that way. I think you should always wear and only take them off when you want to change in your alter ego (translucent woman with the perfect curves ;-) )

    BTW, what do you use to trigger you remote flash? I'm very interested in the strobist.com thing but the pocket wizards they often mention are extremely expensive. The device you use, does it use radio waves or infrared?

    Ok, I posted my comment too fast, your description wasn't finished yet. Thanks for the info.

    hahaha... this is the best. the glasses + the expression = adorkable!!! (a term i learned from you and rob). loves it!

    smeert: the Cactus V2s are pretty good - and awesome for the price. I need to upgrade to Pocket Wizards eventually - especially for my pro wedding gigs - but the V2s are perfect for any kind of low-pressure stuff. They've had a lot of bad press, with lots of mis-firings ... and while it may be true, changing out all the batteries for fresh ones now means I get 99% of the shots. I talked them down before (here, in fact), but I hadn't swapped out all of the batteries yet ...

    If I were a librarian....
    ....people would borrow more books?

    Cool shot - could be a journalist as well.

  11. Arjunaweeping (67 months ago | reply)

    You are looking very much like Natalie Imbruglia in this pic... which I hope is taken as the compliment it's meant to be ;-)

    Cool pout!

  12. #anne# (busy!!) (67 months ago | reply)

    seriously...I envy those awesome glasses!

  13. xtheowl (67 months ago | reply)

    This is such a fun shot! Adorable.

  14. Geekgirly (67 months ago | reply)

    My dream is actually to become a librarian! I think you look more like a Poindexter here! Great shot!

  16. MarkReqs (67 months ago | reply)

    Love the expression. Your photo stream is beautiful!

  17. Steve.Korn (67 months ago | reply)

    Kate, slow down, you're out cute-ing the last picture.

  18. -ford (67 months ago | reply)

    if you were a librarian... no one would read until you left the room... they'd all be too busy staring at you.

  19. eustacia42 (67 months ago | reply)

    teehee! cute

    (seen in 365 pool)

  20. ReeBeckiSupergirl (67 months ago | reply)

    Another fantastic shot! I love these glasses on you.

  21. XK prj [deleted] (67 months ago | reply)

    Those glasses take me back, all you need is a large eye patch covering one eye!

  24. Michael Anderson 1 (67 months ago | reply)

    Sweet glasses :)

  25. Peter -G (67 months ago | reply)

    You do the pouty thing well :-) . Use it for special circumstances and clearly overuse could be construed as Crying Wolf....hehe.

  26. Zombie Marble (67 months ago | reply)

    wow great shot. you look absolutely adorable. Down right cute.

    Personally, I have never had a misfire with my first set of Cactus V2 triggers. So successful in fact that I purchased two more remotes to compliment my first set. Sadly, the second set of triggers have never fired. I intend to try one of the antenna mods to see if that rectifies the problem.

  27. ♫♥LOvED88♥♫ (67 months ago | reply)

    Lovely expression - nice capture!

  28. Amy Michelle (67 months ago | reply)

    They look super cute on you!

  29. Mike+Tiffy (67 months ago | reply)

    what is that flash?

  30. scottyperry (67 months ago | reply)

    nice nice, ebay triggers eh? Have you heard about radio poppers?

    oh and I love the glasses, I long to have a real prescription pair.

  31. katenadine (67 months ago | reply)

    I have heard about Radio Poppers ... waiting for the new cheap ones to be released for a while so I can read reviews ... but yes, I'm considering upgrading at some point for sure ... Thanks :-)

  32. angel pastor (67 months ago | reply)

    for a beginner at pouting you are really good!
    cute blue eyes!

  33. beth.armsheimer (67 months ago | reply)

    ADORABLE!! a HUGE fave!!

  34. Nick_in_Atlanta (67 months ago | reply)

    The glasses add to the photo's intent, but it's the look and attitude that put this photo over the top. You have a lot of actor in you and it shows in photos like this. Quite an amazing ability.

    A fave of mine.

    Holy crap! How'd I miss this?!?

    Wowzers this rocks...

  36. katenadine (67 months ago | reply)

    You people are so funny. I thought this photo was a bit, well .. "meh". But y'all love it! What's with that? Mebbe 'cause you never saw a librarian all pouty before? I dunno. It's awesome though :-)

  37. green_kermit (67 months ago | reply)

    Exactly...
    I would be bringing my books late every time!

  38. zackojones (67 months ago | reply)

    If you were a librarian....I would have made straight A's because I would have been in the library everyday! :)

  39. kathsingleton (67 months ago | reply)

    You certainly knew how to pout when you were a little girl!.... Lovely photo though.

  40. kathsingleton (67 months ago | reply)

    Did you steal my necklace? It looks just like one I have/had. Living in a building site prevents me from locating/wearing/enjoying my jewellery, so maybe it isn't mine after all!

  41. katenadine (67 months ago | reply)

    I did not steal your necklace! Shock, horror! I did get this at Hambledon Gallery though - which is probably why it looks similar. It's cheaper than all of your necklaces though ;-)

    Katenadie uses "Poverty Wizards". . .

    Me too. :-P

  43. martha madness. [deleted] (67 months ago | reply)

    haha :]

    this is wonderful :]

  44. tripowski (67 months ago | reply)

    definitely my favourite of the 365 photos so far... cute, funny and rather attractive all at the same time.

  45. Single Malt (67 months ago | reply)

    Totally adorable librarian!!! You. The. Cutest.

  46. ralder (67 months ago | reply)

    perfect, wonderful, great, wow...
    :-)

  47. croctommy (67 months ago | reply)

    If you were a librarian...you'd be totally over the sexy event horizon. Love the glasses.

  48. please.dskjfah (67 months ago | reply)

    this is pretty much exactly like my flickr icon.

  49. ece2x (67 months ago | reply)

    I love this shoot!

  50. poncho pilate (67 months ago | reply)

    Sweet shot, you're adorkable ;)

  51. katenadine (67 months ago | reply)
