photographs, polaroids & more.

2009-05-29T11:13:00.001-04:00

i've been meaning to start watermarking my collages and polaroids for a while now, because they are my most viewed and most favorite'd pictures on flickr and because they always show up all over fffffound, weheartit and tumblr and i'm sick of people not crediting back to me. i finally got around to watermarking the "sometimes it's hard book" that i made last year. i'm sure this will result in broken links all over the place now but i feel better now that i've watermarked this book! this book is definitely one of my most popular things in my flickr photostream. now i just have to start watermarking everything else...which is a huge pain but needs to be done!

hello new favorite polaroid of mine!

one of my favorite words...and favorite words to photograph. truth and honesty mean a lot to me.

i made this collage totally spur of the moment this morning, after i found that feather on the sidewalk on the way to my office.

this is the first collage that i've made that isn't "personal" to me so i wasn't sure how it would turn out. i'm actually happy with the results so i've decided to put it up for sale on etsy. depending on how this turns out and if it does sell, i'll probably start trying to sell more collages on etsy and eventually offer custom collages as well.

check out my etsy listing HERE thanks!!

day 66., originally uploaded by (kerry).

this is a recent addition to my 365 days of 2009 project, my favorite shot from that week.

i've been doing a lot of thinking and i've come to the conclusion that as much as i don't WANT to do it, i am going to have put ugly and obstructive watermarks over ALL of my work. i'm especially concerned with all of my collages and polaroids. over the past couple of months, i've been seeing more and more of my polaroids being turned into icons/avatars on livejournal and my collages and polaroids being posted all over various tumblr blogs, without credit. it makes me feel violated and definitely annoyed! while i appreciate people enjoying my work and liking it that much, i do not appreciate my work being "stolen" and passed off as someone else's art. it breaks my heart a little bit each time i see my polaroids being used and my collages being posted on the internet. i guess that's the price you pay for showing your work online!

FIU libraries.

2009-02-12T12:09:00.004-05:00

i was recently hired by florida international university to shoot pictures of both of their libraries, for the new library website re-vamp. these are some of my favorites shots. library.fiu.edu/

more hearts.

2009-02-10T14:20:00.004-05:00

i was lucky enough to find FIVE new graffiti hearts this weekend. it makes me happy to know that after almost two years of finding these, i can still find new ones. i still wish i knew who was behind all of these hearts! i would love to meet whoever it is that is spreading the love all over miami!

please feel free to check out my entire set of the graffiti hearts, over at my flickr page!

love is a FEELING, not a decision.

2009-01-28T10:28:00.001-05:00

it was time to finally break in my new moleskine.

between two jobs, i forget about this blog sometimes!

2009-01-27T15:19:00.001-05:00

ten things i am loving right now:

dr. pepper flavored lip smackers

my american boy ringtone that i use for when mike texts me

my new seagull necklace (that matches my tattoos!) from indie fixx

my new eggplant colored kenneth cole purse that i got at DSW on super awesome clearance

every single member of the jolie-pitt clan

the crazy insane fact that my set on flickr featuring the little mini book i made has currently 5,227 views!! (not to mention my entire photostream has 84,127 views!)

the le love blog- it's so mushy and heart warming

flying fox shower gel from LUSH, because it smells like their godiva shampoo bar that i use and love

guitar hero WORLD TOUR edition because it means i get to play paramore (lol) and interpol

wearing tights almost every day lately

hearts.

2008-12-11T15:56:00.001-05:00

right when i start to lose hope of finding any more new graffiti hearts, today i stumbled upon three new ones! i love finding new hearts, time and time again.

ones that are green and some that are blue.

a birthday present.

my cat left me a birthday present in front of the washer & dryer.

2008-09-22T21:45:00.001-04:00

so happy with my new seagulls!

art show.

2008-09-19T21:13:00.003-04:00

i am going to be in some sort of charity art show this october 25. i don't know very many details yet, but as soon as i get any information i will be sure to pass it along. i'll definitely be showing these pieces from my 'hanging series' and possibly a few others. i'll be getting enlargements of these polaroids done and have them framed. i'm excited!

raindrops.

2008-09-09T17:02:00.001-04:00

it's been raining all day here. one of those days that's great for laying in bed all day, all snuggled up and sleeping!

shells.

sunrise.

2008-08-26T14:57:00.002-04:00

one of my favorite things to do is to watch the sunrise over the ocean. to sit on the beach, with the sand between my toes, the smell of the ocean air, the sound of the seagulls mixed in with the sounds of the waves crashing...nothing else in the world compares to that. this past sunday i was lucky enough to catch the sunrise.

some feathers, a couple shells and a paper crane.

2008-08-21T23:19:00.002-04:00

a few recent polaroids of mine that i am really pleased with.

skeleton keys, take two.

2008-08-18T09:49:00.002-04:00

i re-shot my skeleton keys and i am much happier with the result this time around!

skeleton keys.

2008-08-15T12:51:00.002-04:00

i collect many different things, one of them being antique skeleton keys. i attempted to shoot a polaroid of part of my collection but feel i failed miserably. i'm not too happy with this first attempt. it's not a bad shot, but it's definitely not what i had in mind. i'm definitely going to try this again!

perfume oils.

2008-08-11T17:09:00.003-04:00

i love wearing perfume oils- their subtle scents & the way a person has to be really close to you to smell them. they're a hint of a something unexpected.
