marisha mae

first of all look at my lovely over exposed moccasins

in the midst of moving & unpacking i've neglected everything found some spare moments to share photos with you.

was on a shoot a couple weeks ago for my friend Marisha. decided to bring my pentax along and take a couple detail shots.

i know, underexposed.

seattle, pt. 1

so, there will be a second edition of this post, considering there is a roll of film lost somewhere in the midst of traveling (!), packing, unpacking, and moving (!).

but for now, here are some wonderful things from the pacific northwest:

family (and our lovely hosts)

feels like home

two of my best friends

flying a kite

hidden anemones & urchins.

little things & great colors.

listening to Beach House right now. loving it.

anemones

seattle has been wonderful.

i'm slowly, but surely, falling in love with the city. and slowly warming up to the idea of moving here one day (the mountains/ocean combination definitely helps). being close to my family is becoming more and more of a priority, especially when i see what i've missed out on being far.

new york is currently the top choice (i think), but seattle will be well-visited until (if) moving here is a real option.

what's more wonderful is that i have film from all of this - video and 35mm (!)

so, prepare yourselves, i'll develop that film as soon as i have a chance

and i will soon have a wonderfully, beautifully, large studio to work in...

love,

p.s. today i touched a sea anemone.

p.p.s. we also found a jelly fish!

p.p.p.s. grey's anatomy. the season begins. boom. that's all.

here. in seattle.

5:23 wake up > 5:45 leave house > 7:25 departure > vegas > (falling asleep and almost landing on the lady next to me... > 12:45 seattle > 2:00 Jacquie pick up > 5s instead of 5n > visiting Jeff at Whole Foods > home by 4:45 (6:45 nashville time).

whew.

today is Rosemary's birthday. she is one of Jacquie's best friends here in Seattle, and she is a wonderful lady.

so i made her a little drawing: i hope she likes it.... i mean, i just met the girl today.

hurrah to making art the first day i'm here (!)

it feels so wonderful to be here, with family. which reminds me how much i want to live near them. nashville is home, but i don't think it will be forever. new york is calling me, eventually. but i think seattle is the other option for alternate US homes.

more to come. market in the morning (FISH!).

so much love,

- k

ps. seattle is so cold! but i love it.

(july's pentax)

late july, ellie and i decided to take a magnificent camping/adventuring trip to the georgia/south carolina coast. however, terrible forecasts forced us to rethink our plan: thus we went to stay with her brother in flordia (a beachy midwest). it was wonderful. the beaches were beautiful, and we really just needed the ocean and the sun.

along came my pentax. like i had said prior, i am still becoming friends with my pentax and learning the likes and dislikes of a fully manual camera... so here's what i have:

heading to seattle tomorrow. where are your favorite places in and around the city?

so much love,

currently listening to Death Cab For Cutie's record Transatlanticism (one of my very favorites... no matter what people say).

i've finally reached a breaking point in Three Cups of Tea... still not too far in, but i'm excited for the promise it holds.

saturday morning:

no one is awake, i can be so productive.

objective 1: write down my dream from last night that will become a children's book.

objective 2: buy Andrew Belle's new record "The Ladder" which is fantastic and you can buy it too for $5.99 - worth every penny (and many more!).

yep wonderful.

if you're in town tonight, or are able to in the next two months, Andrew Woolbright is having an opening at LeQuire Gallery here in Nashville (eep!) 7-9. It is always so inspiring to see friends from school work and grow and show their art - so proud.

read this snippet from ReadyMade : now watch this video they posted

it's called Let's Colour Project, and the artists are from france!

so much love,
