usually i find this subject quite repulsive... or worst... just "uninteresting". But this photo is just something i'll never forget - perfect, really

Well dear Katia, you seem to have done it again. Totally throwing my emotions in different directions, leaving me wondering how I should exactly be feeling. And the longer I look, the harder it gets to feel like I did before I looked at this photograph. I suppose that is what makes a Photograph successful isn't it? I love it. All the best in the new year honey.

That's crazy. I think the photos you take of this subject matter are so interesting and so important. Very few photos make me actually squirm in my chair. Good art always provokes some response, and yours really does!!

iamkatia In reply to only-zuul [2006-01-10 21:16:45 +0000 UTC]

and taking these photos is important for me too as a photographer.
i mean photojournalism puts you in all kinds of potentially horrific
situations and you have to be calm, impartial, not let any squeamishness
prevent you from documenting the event, so the fact that this group lets me,
no, ENCOURAGES me to come and photograph each performance and behind the scenes
is a very good thing for me. they also want me to start selling my prints of them at
their shows at no profit to them, keeping all money made for myself. just to get their photos
out there, on people's walls, in people's minds. what a bunch, uh?
they're really good kids you know. very sweet.
and yes, i don't see anyone else doing this kind of thing photographically
so in that way too it's important. and yea, a bit of squirming is good for all of us.

kiss babygirl for me, yes? and mwah! to you too! have a great week, love.

Babygirl is fine. She just woke up or I would write about her to you more.

Yesterday, I asked her if she wanted to go to the park, and she said (direct quote): "thanks, Mom. That would be really nice."

Where did my baby go???

Arrgh! I wish there were a 'squeemish' parent advisery on these, in thumb I just can't make it out.
I can't cope with this, but looked for a long as I dare, so that is isn't burnt on my memory. Just glad to see that he is smiling.

echomrg [2005-12-30 21:48:47 +0000 UTC]

ouch!
this is a bit too hardcore for my taste
yet you managed to capture the moment in a "different" way
nothing more than a performer preparing for an event, without much glamour but with, ahemmm, blood and sweat

i still admire the way you can catch people being so natural!

no matter how sneaky i am its my luck to step on a stick and make everyone look at me and start posing for the camera, thats why i stick with animals

iamkatia In reply to HoolyMooly [2005-12-31 17:06:04 +0000 UTC]

the trick is not to be sneaky. to just be there openly.
then you simply become part of the landscape,
like a table or a lamp.

iamkatia In reply to Zendar [2005-12-31 17:08:44 +0000 UTC]

hi zen!

how are you hun?

that's why i posted it essentially - it IS photojournalism and
i don't see anyone else exploring this increasingly popular
underground phenomenon of piercing/suspension.
but i am on the case sir!

yes, let's talk soon.. happy new year baby!
