« the work of other people: me, through justin hackworth's lens, and a video by katherine center »

Photo by Justin Hackworth

I mentioned yesterday that Justin and I traded photo sessions while we were in Salt Lake City this past weekend; so today, I thought I'd share some of my favourite shots he took of me.

Like most people, I suppose, I generally hate having my photo taken -- but I have to say I love these shots with a white hot passion.  Justin is really good about connecting with his subjects, so they feel very comfortable and natural as he shoots them; for that reason, these shots feel more like "me" than any shots I've ever had taken of me.  Ever.  Thanks so much, Justin.

In other news (and in lieu of today's song of the day), check out the truly beautiful video below, written and put together the lovely Katherine Center for the upcoming Mom 2.0 Summit (and if you pay attention, you'll see some of the actual images that will be in my book):

 

(I'll be speaking at the Summit -- will I see you there?)

 

Have a great weekend, everybody.

Karen that second to last pic of you frames you as a perfectly contented creative, right where you want to be in life..doing exactly what you love. One day someone will take a portrait of me like that. Oh, and that video, brought me to tears. Thanks for sharing.
