Jonathon at Hogwarts

I missed October posting. So much happened. Mom had surgery for lung cancer. I worked on the Bill Owen's portfolio and I went photographing in the Eastern Sierra with Geir and I travelled back to Florida for Harry Potter for Jonathon's 13th birthday with him and Wendy and to visit Mom and Dad. And I worked on my lightroom class and on digital negatives for my conversation books as well as my photographs from Thailand/Cambodia. So a month goes and now a new one starts. Now I am back with Mom and Dad - She is getting better but it is slow and it is good to visit. Onward...

Thailand and Facebook Thoughts continued

Back from Thailand - an amazing trip. Here is my facebook album.

Thailand-Cambodia 2010

(I took most of the photographs with my old iPhone - which since it was not activated, acts like an iTouch. When I got to wifi - which was pretty often in this area - I would upload the photographs. It was great!)

More to come as I work through the 1000s of photographs I took with my 'real' cameras!!

Facebook Thoughts

My postings are happening more on facebook - I carried my old iphone (now really an itouch with a camera) and, when I get wireless, I can post my photos and thoughts on facebook. It is different than this blog (people actually read my posts ;-) ) and for me more public, more anedotal I suppose. It is interesting to notice the difference....

I continue my adventures in Thailand - and it is a wonderful place.

Thailand Thoughts: Day five

Driving down the street in Chiang Mai after the over-night train from Bangkok...

Thailand Thoughts: Day four

Last breakfast at my hotel. Temple in the morning and night train to Chiang Mai in evening.

Thailand Thoughts: Day three

Day three is Ayutthaya and amazing temples and amazing photography. So much the better for sharing with Virakich.

Thailand Thoughts: Day two

View from my window at the Kantary House. A good place for me - out of the way, but I can walk the neighborhood and take the water taxi to the center. I visit with my friend, Virakick Sudhasawin, whom I met at the Precision Digital Negative class in May. A lovely evening with him and his friend Anne. Next: Historic City of Ayutthaya

Thailand Thoughts: Day one

Day one: Breakfast at my hotel, new journal from Dreaming Mind ready to go. open for adventure.

August thoughts

Life stays busy...or I do.

I am at Mom and Dad's in Ocala, Florida, and enjoying just being here. We went to see "Eat, Pray, Love," I went photographing with Dad at the "Shalom Park" and went shopping with Mom as well as dinner at Red Lobster (of course...)

Also this month, I have been working on my photography and this time is such a such a gift. I have scanned years of contact sheets, organized all of my prints and begun the process of photographing them for my website with the help of Neeley Main, my wonderful assistant!

I have activated http://www.katejordahl.com and am very excited about my energy and commitment to my photography!

So, next week is my 51st birthday AND I take an airplane to Thailand to photograph! I am going to enjoy both!

Warm August thoughts and wishes for the end of your summer....

July thoughts

Hard to believe that it has been 8 months since I posted...I have found facebook has taken the place of this sharing on some levels, and simple busyness on others...

Now it is summer and I am beginning a Professional Development Leave and looking at all of my art work and all of my projects and thinking...what next.

How is that for random thoughts?

More here and on facebook...perhaps...
