something non-photo related

Last night I went with my bf and friend to see He Is Legend! One of my favorite bands. I was expecting the worst but was pleasantly surprised, they were so fun and creepy all together!



I took this with my new little flip camcorder...so fun!

a teeny tiny preview

I've been workin' hard on my 365 completion blurb book, and i think its coming out sweet! I'm posting some special stuff, like little journals, before and afters, tutorials, etc etc. All fun stuff you can learn from and enjoy! So far, it has about 86 pages, and I'm wondering if thats too much. Hmmm. Suggestions? What do you all think? Longer book? Or Keep it. (wish i could put all 365 in there, but....they arent all great! =p )

summer nights

i've been taking lots of photos lately. of things i don't really feel like posting on flickr. but i did take photos for a neighbor because he let us borrow his sweet car! which is what this photo is above. i'll post more stuff later. after i get my new flip camcorder! yay! now all i need is some dry ice...

the inspirational flow between mind and object.

1. You're All Thats Left, 2. 67/365 I have nothing left to give., 3. candace re-edit, 4. Untitled, 5. Lani Dre, 6. * Adjusted version *, 7. tally, 8. girls of summer II, 9. As time floats by., 10. Untitled, 11. Untitled, 12. America America, 13. Untitled, 14. Untitled, 15. What winter hides, 16. the butterfly keeper, 17. 36/365, 18. Untitled, 19. Genesis of economic activity, 20. Last Mistake of the Day, 21. Home, 22. Untitled, 23. Just Say Yes, 24. dead to the world, 25. Day 222 - Forgotten Ghosts

I've never done one of these box things. But I thought it appropriate for my lack of drive for today. These artists above are what drive my inspiration deep into the soil, looking for roots to grab onto and grow. I had planned for another flickr post today, but due to my lack of drive and somehow "losing track of time" (yeah yeah yeah...excuses) I was unable to. It required going to the store to get my supplies and well- i just didn't feel like it. I had a senior session today and waking up so late makes me lose time I guess. Tomorrow I'm going down south to San Antonio! Very excited to go. So now I will put it on hold (this idea).

I DID, however, buy myself a flip camcorder to video tape all my future endeavors. Including my new project I'm starting which will take time, and man-handling of building skills. I'm creating sets. WOO!

see you all soon.

stop that motion

Texas from katie reed on Vimeo.

i said it was short, right? haha. first time doing one. i didnt realize how many photos you really need. and when i kept hearing "clickclicklicklckcckclskclsk" on my camera shooting on hot mode...i thought dang. thats enough.

another soon! enjoy my feeble attempt.

deep in the heart of texas

here i am, a week into my summer visit to home. i'll be honest and a little complain-ey and say its both the best and worst trip ever. i'm definitely having more fun than i usually do, mostly because my parents are home more often and we're doing fun things, but it's the worst because each time i have time to myself to reflect upon it, my heart breaks a little more knowing i'll be leaving. i wish things were different. like that i could stay in texas with my whole life in CA to come with me, but life is never that easy, is it? i take a deep breath every time i reflect upon this sadness.

later tonight, after i've had a nerdy reading session, i'll post a short and quick stop motion video! i've never tried it before, so it'll be fun. and ill ONLY be posting it on this blog, no where else :]

i think i'll start visualizing some more ideas soon. time is always running out.
