where has the time gone?

where has the time gone?

Dear g-d… where has the time gone? It seems like just last month we were in Spokane sitting on the beach at our lake cabin…. or was it that it was that we were celebrating the ringing in of 2009? More people have been telling us… only 100 more days till……. I really don’t want to hear that. But, regardless of “time flying by” – I have found that I’ve let my blog slip off to the wayside and I’ve not done any showcasing of our portfolio or photography.

So, for posterity – here are the posts I made to my Facebook profile & a photo or two from our trip.

1. up early – just after sunrise.. chill in the air & steam rising from the water on the lake. wandered down w/ camera in hand (of course)… ducks, loons & gulls making all kinds of noise… peaceful & beautiful pictures.

2. spent the afternoon w/ our kids & grandkids… sat down at the lake & watched the neighborhood dogs chase balls in the water. the kids swam & splashed in the water… got great pics of all. listening to the geese honking while flying overhead… drink in hand & dinner on the way.. til later

3. relaxing on the deck. (did you hear that – I said the word relaxing… the kids went for a walk – might go swim in the lake later. 4. the kids left for home. all is quiet now… time to break out the wine! looking forward to exploring the area tomorrow… might sweet talk gc into heading up to canada tomorrow… canadian rockies, here i come 😉

5. cool, sunny morning on the lake. amazing how quiet it is up here. very few cricket noises, no frogs. sometimes you’ll hear the ducks or the loons… amazing, there are NO mosqitos… but there are yellow jackets.

6. granite point park – beautiful place on Loon Lake… cool place that was built in 1939.

7. sitting & enjoying some Alaskan Amber ale…. gosh some of the best beer we’ve ever had!!!

8. it is truly amazing when stepping out on the deck & there is not a cloud in the sky & all you see are stars… yes, you can really see the milky way clearly from here. peaceful dreamy & there is definitely something else bigger out there. until tomorrow…

9. spent the day in spokane walking around River Front park. the area is clean B the falls are gorgeous. Its no wonder the Spokane indians settled around the region. The energy is amazing. heading back to the lake – but of course after some wonderful NW beer 🙂

10. sat out on the deck this evening, chill in the air tells that fall is coming soon. the stars are quite bright, I see constellations that I know the shapes, but can’t remember the names. I looking for my friend Orion, but he’s not up in the sky just yet. Peaceful still water that’s in contrast to the noise of the falls. will try to rise early to photograph the sunrise – we’ll see.

11. fished our coffee & watched a family of wild turkey walk in front our deck… & an eagle just swooped in front of me… with a hawk squawking in the tree. great energy/animal medicine today is gonna be fantastic!

  • coffee with cream or sugar I can see, but fish? 😉 Other than that, the morning sounds great.
  • ….when typing on a tiny keyboard you have no idea what keys you hit… i think it was supposed to be ”finished our coffee” 😉
  • Based on the averian theme, I’m guessing it was perch flavored.
  • Glad you’re having a great time fishing!
  • …..well I guess we have to bring back some fresh trout or bass for you… the rods are in the shed waiting to be hooked up w/ bait.
  • fished your coffee??? are you going for Java Trout?
  • …..you know, that could be a name of a coffee shop out on a lake front resort… especially up here in the NW

12. spent the day driving around the spokane area today. It was fun watching GC try to remember his way around. We found our way to Liberty Lake – what a gorgeous area.

13. last nite at the lake. sitting on the deck. cool clean air. hearing the crickets & occasional dog barking in the distance. the sky is so bright w/ stars that i am brought to tears. I am truly going to miss the energy & awe of this place. like… before, the milkyway is bright, the big dipper is BIG & my buddy Mars is shining clear. peace ya’ll

14. the kids surpised us & gave us a nite at the Cour D’Alene Resort. gorgeous hotel on the lake & room w/ a view. (fireplace, balcony, etc.). spending the day walking thru a town of artists & then off to walk some trails & maybe venture to see the floating golf green.

TESTIMONIALS

  • They were on time and, most importantly, the pictures and video came out great and Kathy was easy to deal with. Our only quibble was that the DJ told us that turning on the lights in the hall for better photos prior to the end of the evening event led guests to believe that party was over and so it ended earlier than expected.
    Mark N, Bar mitzvah client
  • Thank you for all you did to make the Prince William American Red Cross 2008 “Red White & Blues” gala a success by every measure. In particular, I am grateful for all the wonderful photos you took for the event and all the graphic design work you produced with the patience of a saint.
    Deborah Campbell, Development Director (former), American Red Cross
  • One of the joys of being part of the inaugural class of photographers at Lorton’s Photography Workshop was getting to know a group of enormously talented artists. Having seen Kathy’s work ethic and creative energy – and art – first hand, I can vouch for the fact that anyone who hires her is getting the services of a profoundly gifted artist indeed (with equal talents as a photographer and as a graphics designer); that she’s such a nice person is just an added bonus!
    Andrew Ilachinski, Research Analyst at Center for Naval Analyses (former colleague)
  • They are wonderful to work with. ImageWerks is very creative, making every project important and capturing something unique! They have an eye for “it” whether in Kathy’s photos, GC’s illustrations, logos or websites. You cannot go wrong working with ImageWerks!
    Rebecca Barnes President, Prince William Living
  • Kathy is one of the most professional women I know. She is extremely creative and gives her all. Her photography skills are superb. What I like best about Kathy? She’s a huge part of the community she lives in. She gives of her time and talents to several non-profits.
    Candi Keiter Johnson Volunteer at Shih Tzu and Furbaby Rescue
  • Doing this photography class outside of school allowed me to deal with the stress and explore something I otherwise would not have been able to do. I learned the basics of Photoshop and editing, but more importantly, I got feedback from my fellow participants and my photography has improved. Because of this class, I have considered doing the art show in the spring. I have grown as an artist and found that photography is a de-stressor for me. I plan to keep up this hobby/activity for the rest of my life.
    Kinsey Denney, Photography student that took one of our classes
  • Kathy has provided photography services for our directory and many of our “signature” events, as well as worked with us on designing various collateral. She also did a series of PWC shots that we display in our offices. Kathy has a great perspective, and a way of finding beauty even in the mundane, so that her photographs help you to look at things in a new way.
    Emily Guerrero, Director of Communications (former), Prince William Chamber of Commerce & now Mightier Than (client)
  • Kathy is a professional in every sense of the word. I have worked with her both on projects for the World Bank and with Imagewerks. She has an eye for detail and design. The products she produces are always of top quality. And the wonderful creative energy and ideas that she brings to the table make her a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Kathy both as a colleague and a business partner.
    Barbara Yale, Deputy Country Program Officer, Chemonics
  • Kathy is a truly talented artist in many venues. She is also the ultimate professional. I am amazed at the work she does.
    Lisa Barsky, Strauss NIH

  • Kathy is an amazing photographer! She will make you feel comfortable and at ease – and your photos will be beautiful! You will have a quick turn around from shoot to finished product!

  • I am amazed at the portrait. GC did a phenominal job. I love, Love, LOVE IT!!! I remember when you took that picture at the chamber when I became chairman in 2009! I forogt I was having my picture done that day but you made me look pretty darn good! (Note: Kathy did her professional headshot & GC painted her portrait from this photo)
    Molly Grove, George Mason University
  • Kathy came out our office and did professional photos of all of our agents.The photos were great, and everyone has enjoyed using them in their marketing, etc.Thank you, Kathy!
    Barbara Costa. WISE AGENT REALTY
  • Kathy is wonderful! We’ve used her for several photo sessions and have been absolutely thrilled with the results.
    Melissa Harshman, CLIENT
  • This was my Dad’s 90th birthday party. I’d guess 150 or more people came in a 2 hour period to see him. Kathy did a great job. I had no idea having a good photographer would take the party to the next level. Someone could be a great photographer and have great equipment, but if you can’t work with people to make the shots happen then it’s all for nothing. Kathy did great at all of that and this is why people were lined up to take a picture with my Dad like they were waiting to see Santa Claus. Lot’s of fun!
    Bruce Moore, Internet Ad Management
  • Kathy from ImageWerks took the photos for our rehearsal dinner and the big day. She was responsive throughout the process, and helped us to think about the types of photos we wanted to take ahead of time to make sure everything was captured on the big day (which was such a whirlwind, we never would have thought of what we needed day-of). The pictures themselves were beautiful, showing all that went into our wedding. We can now look back at them and relive the memories created with our family and friends, thanks to Kathy’s great eye for details. I’d highly recommend her services.
    Emily
  • Kathy Strauss did an absolutely beautiful job for our wedding. There were a couple of photos that needed some photoshop work done. When the work was done, I would never know that the “unwanted” individual had ever been in the photo! Her attitude is fun and unobtrusive and Kathy is very artistic! I’m happy to give her a 5* rating -Trish
    Trish & Jim
  • Kathy and Sally took wonderful pictures and were very nice to work with- very down to earth and made sure that we got all of the pictures we wanted. They provided a great selection of quality pictures.
