Sweet Relief

Isn't it funny, how you can totally love something, but you can sometimes get too much of it? That's how I feel about night photos right now. Bring on the sun! I captured this one in my living room last weekend, a nice break. Just a plant and a shadow and the sun. Simple pleasures.

This weekend we're heading to Oktoberfest in Munich. Should be fun to see this crazy, big, famous festival. Lots of photo opportunities, and a Radler or two. (For those of you who don't know, a Radler is half beer, half lemonade, and pretty darn good!)

I also wanted to announce that I'm planning a Photowalk in Portland, Oregon when I head back to the US for a business trip next month.  Mark your calendars - Sunday October 10th at 10am. Please email me (kat [at] kateyeview.com) if you are interested, and I'll send you the details on meeting place when they are finalized. Many thanks to Jenny C in Portland for helping me to get this together. Come and join us, rain or shine!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

  2. To just relax into the beauty of what's there without having to think too much is the serenity of photography, although having a 'photographic eye' you are always framing!

  5. Have fun in Munich! The first (and last) time I went to Oktoberfest was in 1975! Oh well, went to Oktoberfest in Stuttgart a couple of times (lived close to S.) Enjoy the Radler - they're wonderful!!!

  6. Believe me, Kat, I'm pondering how I could get myself up to Portland for the day....

  8. I would love to join you for the photowalk, but there is another quest in Portland that day. 10-10-10 is the Portland marathon! I hope to be crossing the finish line around 11:15. Don't think I'll be up for anything that involves movement after that, but would love to see what you get! Looking forward to seeing you. Have fun in Munchen.

  9. Your site is beautiful and full of great creative ideas. I found you through the Happy Book posting. Have a blast during Oktoberfest. I was there for that in 2000 and I highly recommend clothes you don't mind getting beer spilled on. :-) I look forward to seeing even more of your work.

  10. This is a great shadow photo! I enjoy taking pictures of shadows. The only trouble is you have to have sun to find the shadows. Thanks for sharing this lovely photo.

    Peace!
