Back to business

 These images were taken for a historical landmark assignment. I am in Madison a lot lately, and so why not shoot the capital building? When I was younger I toured the inside of this huge classical Wisconsin monument. If you have never done so, I say do it. Especially if you are an architecture and history lover like I am. The inside is just as beautiful as the outside.

The outside you can see classical elements such as the Ionic and Corinthian columns. The relief sculptures in the pediments, and the classical figures on the rotunda. Just walking around this building and looking at everything you want to or can, is really inspiring.

Oh! And plus, when you tour the building you are more then likely able to walk out onto one of the few balconies that they have, which gives you a great view of Madison.

I was pretty bummed about the grade I received on this assignment, and it was all because they were in b/w (black and white)!! It was a last minute idea to change them to b/w. My gut feeling was to leave them color, so the last one I left in color... What do you guys think?

Well, I hope everyone enjoys these, and go check out the state capital of Wisconsin!!!

Dells trip for my Lyssa

This is a random post, but I feel like I need to do this. It is a spur of the moment thing, but I wanted to honor my oldest niece Allyssa. She has become one of my best friends. Since we are so close in age we can relate, and I am there (like I am with all my friends) for her when ever she needs me to be. These are personal pictures that I am going to post. It is not something I tend to do a lot, nor think about doing, but for her I will share them with the world..... so then the world can see how ridiculous we can be. I love this girl like I love the rest of my nieces and nephews... but I think me and her have a deeper connection then we have ever hoped for.

I love you Lyssa!!!!

Your dear Aunt Katie.....

New news!!!

I have some new news (that is fun to say). Actually, two new sets of news. (even better to say!)

First, is that I was just informed that I have an image that was chosen to the online annex of Photoplace Gallery's Greatest Hits exhibit. This is a gallery located in Virginia that I have submitted work to in past months/years for photo contests of all sorts. So this makes me very pleased to be a part of this exhibit! They will be creating a full color catalog the images in the Greatest Hits exhibit that will be available from Blurb books. Yay!!

Here is the link to where you can see the fantastic images that were selected for the exhibit, and the online annex, as well as my Abstract Reflections #1 image.. ..  Photoplace Gallery Greatest Hits!!!


My next set of news is something pretty simple, and small, but no matter where or what I am in or a part of I get really excited and proud. I just like to share with people the moves I am making and the images I create.

Anyways.....

I have a small online portfolio/gallery with Art Milwaukee Odyssey. This is something brand new for me, so I testing out the waters just to see what this organization is all about and what we could do together.


The Milwaukee Odyssey provides a direct and easily accessible network of art throughout the website displayed as a gallery, and also functions as a portfolio for local and regional business owners to browse in the curation process they offer as a service. From office spaces, hotels, restaurants, homes, clubs and cafes to special events they utilize their online database to offer a fresh rotation of art for clients.


I shall see what can come of this great opportunity. As long as I am trying, and getting out there, I think I am doing alright.
