After surviving the swine flu, Kapow is back with P.O.T.D. in full effect. I’m still creating with the 500 + photos I took in Minneapolis. I haven’t even finished going through the first memory card yet! I think this next week will mostly be photos of food. (We ate a lot there.) lol @TidyCat fattening me up for Thanksgiving Dinner I think. (><) lol

As always, feedback is appreciated and thanks for watching the P.O.T.D. on Twitter.

Cheers,

- Kapow

Sunday, November 1, 2009 – Minneapolis Pancakes

#POTD photo of the day: Believe it or not, this was the 2nd best morning in Minneapolis, http://ping.fm/s8I9j Pancakes on KatieKapowDotCom

Okay, seriously, you all know I *love* pancakes. There is no better food on the planet to me. Cakey, wonderful, goodness. I like all kinds. Mmmmm pancakes. Cakes that have been panned. These beauts are compliments of my dear friend @TidyCat. Thank you my dear.

Monday, November 2, 2009 – The Conversation Part 2

#POTD #photo of the day: Deja vou. 2007 in 2009? A new photo a different time. Part 2 on KatieKapowDotCom http://ping.fm/yvRbK

I took a photo very similar to this one when I had just bought my Canon Rebel XTi in 2007. It’s interesting, I had just started teaching myself Photoshop in the original piece. You can see a lot of progress in style development and technique. I’m thinking now, maybe I will re-shoot this every year, just to make a timeline and a series. Which one do you like best?

Tuesday, November 3, 2009 – O’ Donovan’s Glass

#POTD photo of the day: Some weird thing I thought was shiny and pretty while whiskey’d up. http://ping.fm/2nXGA on KatieKapowDotCom

I don’t particularly *like* this photo but, I do like the glass. @TidyCat and I went to this lovely Irish Pub in Minneapolis and this was a fixture on the ceiling in the pub. I did the limbo to take the photo lol.

Wednesday, November 4, 2009 – A Drink for a Friend

#POTD #photo of the day: A drink for a friend. Let’s have another. http://ping.fm/zVkOE On KatieKapowDotCom

Classy. Very unlike me. Ha! See, I *can* do something other than punch color.

Thursday, November 5, 2009 – Best Breakfast

#POTD #photo of the day: They knew I was coming. They had #pancakes ready http://ping.fm/45ahN on KatieKapowDotCom

What the hell? Is this place heaven? I walk into my hotel room in Minneapolis to be greeted by a magazine featuring PANCAKES!!!!!!! Yes, I like it here. (^__^)

Friday, November 6, 2009 – Knock, Knock, Knock on My Door

#POTD photo of the day: My room’s at the end of the hall. A hallway and things on KatieKapowDotCom http://ping.fm/flfM2

I had a texture orgasm in this hotel. The Graves 601 Hotel in Downtown Minneapolis was quite the boutique chic experience for Kapow. From the mirrored art, to the textured paneled and painted walls, I was a photographer in heaven.

Saturday, November 7, 2009 – Light and Sofa

Happy Weekend! ^_^ POTD photo of the day: Light. Sofa. Minneapolis. Love. On KatieKapowDotCom http://ping.fm/Hsy16

Yes, I sat here. For almost two hours just enjoying the modern loveliness. I wish I could have stuffed this sofa in my suitcase but alas, it wouldn’t fit.

Thanks for visiting!

Sunday, October 4, 2009 – “Hello Kitty”

I was pushing myself again to do something different. I’ve always been interested in doing some sort of erotic photography. Nothing graphic, just art. The human form is intruiging and lovely. This week I dabbled a bit in some teasing sort of pieces.

Monday, October 5, 2009 – “Would You Like To Go To There?”

I love this place. I featured this shot in my last photo tech blog. The beautiful Lodge at Riverside along the Rogue River in Grants Pass, Oregon. I would love to live in this town again.

Tuesday, October 6, 2009 – “I Forgot Where I Was Going?”

Honestly, I forgot where I was going. lol Jet set Kapow? O_o

Wednesday, October 7, 2009 – “Lemon Lomo”

I took this on my Iphone last summer and turned it into a Lomo. I love Lomography and its little sub cuture.

Thursday, October 8, 2009 – “Behind the Lens”

My #HNT contribution for the week. Gaussian Blur for the win!

Friday, October 9, 2009 – “Peeking”

Is this my sexiest photo yet? I’m not sure. Sure do like the nets.

Sunday, September 27, 2009 – “Fairytale Stairs”

#POTD photo of the day: Fairytale land stairs up up up to her he walks http://ping.fm/8JnDY on KatieKapowDotCom.

I had a paid portrait shoot with a lovely young couple that was recently engaged. It’s been a while since I shot in Grants Pass, Oregon so I took them to my favorite little nook along the river. These stairs have made it in to many of my portraits but I’ve never edited it quite like this one. Very fairytale like. She was quite pleased.

Monday, September 28, 2009 – “Counting Down”

#POTD photo of the day: Counting down, 3, 2, 1 my house is empty, alone with my love. AT LAST! on KatieKapowDotCom http://ping.fm/BZTzk

Ah yes, the Twitter dare photo that started a very artistic, naughty streak. Heh. I’m going to be taking some nudes soon and I have to brush up these skills. The following photos made way for some fantastic conversations though. LMAO!

Tuesday, September 29, 2009 – “TigerRawr”

#POTD photo of the day: RAWR loud like a Tiger, on KatieKapowDotCom http://ping.fm/hHR9c

Oooh this one was a pleasant surprise! I found it in archive while cataloging. Taken sometime in 2007, it wasn’t anything special until I played editing magic. I’m blowing this one up and hanging it in my living room. =)

Wednesday, September 30, 2009 – “Meet You There”

#POTD photo of the day: A train wud take u there thru here —> For a friend —>”Meet you there” on KatieKapowDotCom http://ping.fm/MOybH

This one is special, very special. A friend needed a way to get to his love. I built the path for the dream. Love you madly David! I’m sure she’s waiting too.

Thursday, October 1, 2009 – “Legs”

#POTD photo of the day: A little leg, a little net, a little lace, a lot of fun on KatieKapowDotCom http://ping.fm/FClFJ

Oopsie! Kapow got frisky again! Actually, this is one of my all time favorites. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Friday, October 2, 2009 – “Ghost”

#POTD photo of the day: High contrast me. A ghost? Could be. I’m not dead yet. What do these eyes say to you? http://ping.fm/YnaZj On KatieKapowDotCom

“Ghost” is still my favorite high contrast, macro portrait. This is a self portrait too. Taken in 2008, the infared fx’s and slight surface blur on my eyes makes it a delicately intriguing piece.

Saturday, October 3, 2009 – “Thanks For the Mammaries”

#POTD photo of the day: “Thanks for the mammaries” they’re great on KatieKapowDotCom http://ping.fm/EEmo8

Heh. Here I’m practicing again. I think the U.S. is so sexually deprived. I get emails and messages when I post photos like this telling me how “uncomfortable” these photos, mixed in with my other art, makes my viewers. Not so much “softcore” as an artistic expression of sexuality, these are some of my most beloved shots. With a little Kapow humor, maybe I can break some of you in. If you’re not comfortable with the human form in general, how will you ever be comfortable with yourself?

POTD 365 Kapowed!

Posted by Katie on August 31, 2009 – 6:51 am

Filed under Kate's Blog
Tagged as Photo of the day, POTD, Twitter

Due to some unforeseen life circumstances my POTD (photo of the day) 365/365 project has been kapowed. Many apologies to my POTD Twitter followers. I have few choices but to pick a date and start over from scratch. I’m planning on Labor Day as my new 365 launch. Much of that depends on how much time I will have to prepare, but I’m anticipating a smooth re-launch due to my upcoming four day weekend.

I appreciate all of your support and please hang in there with me for one more week while I get things back in working order.

{{{hugs}}}

Sunday, July 19, 2009 – “Wheels on the Farm”

I took this photo the same day as “In the Garden” using my iPhone while at my husband’s Grandmother’s house. Just goes to show you don’t always need a fancy smancy camera to come out with something beautiful and artistic.

Post processing in PSE 7 duplicate layer overlay, high saturation/contrast, white foreground to transparent radial gradient overlay with a black vignette to finish.

Monday, July 20, 2009 – “Would You Like a Pear”

This is another shot I snapped while at Grandma’s house in Wimer, Oregon this last week.

As in the previous two posts, my little iPhone camera came to the rescue here when I had realized that I had forgotten all of my other cameras. Grandma has quite a few of these pear trees scattered around the garden. Lovely, each and every one of them.

Taken with my iPhone, post processing in PSE 7, hue and saturation adjustments to pears, saturation/contrast adjustment to full frame. Duplicate layer overlay x two, with a black vignette 250 feather and a foreground to transparent white radial overlay to top it off. Accented edges filter on top.

Tuesday, July 21, 2009 – “Puddle Shadow”

I love rainy spring days. I snapped this shot with my Sony Cyber Shot in the back of the Newspaper Office where my husbands works. I stopped by to bring him a mocha and saw this opportunity. This is exactly the reason I never go anywhere without one of my cameras.

Wednesday, July 22, 2009 – “Rest”

Model: Claire Hegg
Location: Riverside Park, Grants Pass, Oregon

Claire has been one of my favorite models to work with. Not only is she stunningly beautiful but she’s got a sparkling personality that shines for miles. I have a batch of photos from our April shoot still unedited, this was in the bunch. I believe you will be seeing the last half dozen of these shortly on POTD.

I look forward to doing another shoot with Claire in the fall.

Post processing PSD / PSE 7 / On One Essentials 2 featuring color burn, duplicate layer overlay and my signature vignette/gradient mix.

Thursday, July 23, 2009 – “iTreats from iBrawd”

Taken with my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W220.

Maltesers compliments of my friend Mares Twitter.com/__mares__.

iPhone compliments of my wallet. lol

Essentially, this was a perfect evening. Way yum candy, way fun iPhone, way Kapow.

Photo edited in PSE 7. Duplicate layer screens, contrast/saturation adjustments, grain filter, accented edges filter, KAPOW.

Friday, July 24, 2009 – “Home”

Model: Susanne Atondo
Location: ??? Grants Pass, Oregon

We were out longboarding and I saw this house. I thought it was cute so I sat her down and took this pic.

So quaint. So lively. It make my heart go weee for the home I grew up in.

Saturday, July 25, 2009 – “Wild West”

It’s so bizarre sometimes the series of events that roll.

Susanne and I recently took some abstract portraits at this location; the historic location of the old Redwood Nursery in Grants Pass, Oregon.

I wanted to do something a bit different than my normal with these, a little more dark, foreboding maybe. I did everything in black in white with just the splash of red. I also brought out a lot of the texture in the wood.

This location had been abandoned for years and was falling apart.

Sadly, it just became the victim of arson, burnt completely to the ground.

I was one of the last photographers in the area to use it as location. =(

Sad.

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N week!

Whoop whoop!

It wasn’t very relaxing but I did get a ton of stuff done!

We unpacked the new house, all moved in now! It’s so pretty and loverly! I still am in shock that I’m now a homeowner. Ta heeeeeeee!

It was my birthday on Monday, oy vey another year older. My fabulous present from the Pointgiver this year was two new friends, Moxie and TigerBomb. My new little pals are 8 week old kittens! So adorable! I’m sure you will see photos of them here very soon!

I also caught up on four weeks of P.O.T.D. re-posts that I had not been able to do because of the move! I am so happy though that I still have not missed one single day of my 365 project on Twitter.

The grand re-launch of the all new Katie Kapow Dot Com and my gallery, Kate Winters Photography Dot Com was successfully launched yesterday on its scheduled date. If you haven’t got a chance to check out the gallery yet, please stop by, browse, leave me a comment or two. I love to hear what you guys think about my work. It’s my heart, my lifeblood.

So without making you suffer through anymore of my rambling, here is your re-post for the P.O.T.D. week of July 12, 2009.

As always, feedback is appreciated and thanks for watching the P.O.T.D. on Twitter.

Sunday, July 12, 2009 – “Ponder”

Taken in early spring 2009 at yet another failed business in Grants Pass, Oregon. The model is the lovely Susanne Atondo.

Monday, July 13, 2009 (Kapow Day) – “What goes with Cake?”

It’s my birthday! The Mint is my best pal and Sister in Law Karen, the Vanilla is me, Kapow. I only wish she was here today!

Tuesday, July 14, 2009 – “My Sweet Lexi”

Meet my two year old fancy rat Lexi. Poor Lexi fell ill on this day but I am happy to report thanks to a wonderful vet she is doing much better and is back at play with her sister, Suki.

Wednesday, July 15, 2009 – “A Shadow is Left”

Part of my series on failed businesses due to the current economic crisis, this is the location of a long time gas station and car lot in my hometown, Grants Pass, Oregon. Modeled with the legs of the Pointgiver.

Thursday, July 16, 2009 - “Her”

One of my most popular and favorite to shoot models, Claire Hegg returns with this beautiful shot. Thanks Claire.

Friday, July 17, 2009 – “My Rainbow has a Sweet Tooth” for @Rmilana

As promised, I produced this Kapow version of a rainbow pic for my Twitter pal @rmilana. Otter Pops = Yum!

Saturday, July 18, 2009 – “In the Garden”

I love showing that you don’t need a million dollar camera in order to produce something interesting and beautiful. This was a very simple pic taken on my iPhone and post processed in PSE 7. I took this one just this week out in Wimer, Oregon during a visit to The Pointgiver’s grandmother’s home and garden. Beautifimous!
