REALITY ...REALLY?

About Me

Cate --
[noun]:
A person of questionable sanity who starts their own cult
'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.comI HAVE A LOT OF PASSION, I'M SLOW TO TRUST, AND QUICK TO LUST. I TEND TO OFFEND WITHOUT INTENDING TO...SILENCING A ROOM TAKES A CERTAIN PANACHE, AND BABY!...I JUST SEEM TO HAVE THAT BRAND OF TALENT! I'M PRETTY SURE THAT PEOPLE FIND ME ODD, AND I S'POSE THEY'D BE CORRECT. (I DUNNO, I REALLY HAVE NOTHING TANGIBLE WITH WHICH TO MAKE ANY COMPARISON...) WOMEN GENERALLY DON'T TAKE TO ME, NEVER HAVE.
Buried at PhotoCasket.com I HAVE A PASSION FOR TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS...I'M IN THE AMATEUR STAGES, AND USING A LESS THAN IDEAL CAMERA BUT AS I SAID, I LOOOVE IT! I HAVE A DIPLOMA IN F/X MAKE UP, SO I ENJOY THE WHOLE PROCEDURE OF CREATING A LOOK, AND THEN PHOTOGRAPHING IT...DEFINITELY PREFERING GOREY TO GLAMMY (THO' THE OCCAISIONAL COMBO CAN WORK WELL SOMETIMES TOO). 'URBAN' PHOTOGRAPHY IS SOMETHING THAT I FEEL IS IMPORTANT. I ENJOY CAPTURING WHAT IS PERHAPS 'SEEN', AND WALKED PAST BY ALL OF US EVERYDAY, HOWEVER, NOT REALLY LOOKED AT, OR NOTICED TO ANY REAL DEGREE. I'M TEACHING MYSELF TO USE PHOTOSHOP, RETOUCHING AND MANIPULATING IMAGES IS DEFINITELY BEGINNING TO FASCINATE ME. ANY AND ALL FEEDBACK ON MY PICS, GOOD, BAD OR UGLY IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED. ALTHOUGH, DUE TO MY BEING SOME SORT OF HACKER MAGNET, MY PHOTOS ARE NOW MOSTLY DISPLAYED ON MY PAGE IN SLIDESHOW FORMAT. I'M REALLY DIGGIN MYSPACE FOR IT'S WORLDWIDE ART SCENE, AND THE INSPIRATIONAL AWE I GET FROM UNCOVERING INCREDIBLY TALENTED INDIVIDUALS...ON A REGULAR BASIS!!
