Anyway, so when I started this blog it was to document things post-graduation. I never actually expected anyone I knew to read it... let alone people I went to high school with. Enter Martha Cate. I knew *of* Martha Cate in high school because she was older and pretty, she was awkwardly tall like me (a trait that I find endearing in any woman), and she was known to be really smart and this crazy good swimmer. So when I subbed with her crazy*awesome mom one day and found out she read my blog, I totally felt like one of those kids that stands up against the gym wall while everyone judges whether or not they'd be good at dodgeball (p.s. I was always picked last in this game).
But as things turned out, Martha Cate and I were *a lot* alike and she was really super nice! And once we started talking via the interwebs, we became really fast friends! I was *super* excited when she agreed to do a 7+1 :) Martha Cate is a landscape designer by day (she just did a gorgeous plan for us that you will see this spring), but recently started her own photography business and takes gorgeous photographs (like these I showed you). You can read more about her and keep up with her photos via her blog. So without further ramblings...
7 Nerdy Q's & 1 Fill-in-the-blank:
Q1: What 3 sites do you visit regularly for inspiration via the interwebs?
A: I have to pick just 3? Well Photography blogs I visit on a regular basis are 5ringsphoto, Caroline Ghettes, and The Blonde Photographer. Although I have been known to visit B's Wig Shoppe on a daily basis :)
Q2: What 3 activities do you do regularly that keep you inspired?
A: Not to sound cliche' but I pray on a more than daily basis. That definately keeps me inspired and excited...not quite knowing what is in store for me, but excited about what is to come. I never put my camera down. I shoot everything and anything. I always have my photographer eyes on. I also look at other people's work. Not to copy, but because I love looking at good photographs. I love a good photograph.
Q3: What 3 books are on your nightstand right now?
A: I actually don't have any. I did have one as of last week, and it was a baby journal from when I was pregnant last fall. Sadly, that ended in a miscarriage. For some reason I kept that journal on my nightstand...until last week when I decided to put it away. I think I finally have closure over the whole process.
Q4: Where do your ideas usually begin?
A: Hmmm...usually I just get one type of picture I want and go from there. Like I did a shoot with my nephews and I wanted crazy hair with gel. Or a more recent shoot I did with cutie, Abby, I wanted to use a tutu.
Q5: What was your last creative endeavor?
A5: I've learned to make props! I can crochet (although I don't follow patterns), and I just made a tutu.
Q6: What were you before you became the *you* are now? (previous jobs, failed attempts, etc.)
A: I was the queen of college majors. I majored in math education (gross), photography, environmental science, and landscape design. I've always been a free spirit. Right now I've got the best of both worlds. I do landscape design and photography. Basically I get paid to color and take pictures...what more could I ask for?
Q7: What was the deciding factor that made you decide to be an photographer/blogger?
A: I loved looking at 5RingsPhoto and B's Wig Shoppe's blogs. Once I decided to go for the photography thing, I knew a blog was a way to go. I haven't looked back since.
When I was 6, I wanted to be...
