About Me

Good judgment comes from experience,
and often experience comes from...bad judgment."

-RM Brown.

Likes: to be outside, up high, dancing, having good conversation, in a darkroom, or traveling.
Dislikes: haters, flying, gearheads and loud talkers.

I just recently moved from Yosemite to Grass Valley, CA (near Tahoe) I just couldn't do another winter without heat!

I miss my friends from my hometown and others, and this site is one attempt to stay close with them. I do both personal work and adventure photography. I have a modest website to get the images out there at least- www.katiesheehanphoto.com please visit!

My Interests

I make a mean stew, I drink 5-6 cups of tea a day, I take good care of my friends, I can neither whistle nor do a cartwheel and I am addicted to endorphins/sun.
This has led to a chronic climbing habit that threatens to imbue my life with a serious appreciation for living. Trad and easy Aid. I will Boulder as a last resort.

I'd like to meet:

I want to keep in touch with my buddies I have met in real life but am not able to hang with because I live in the boonies. Because of my location I also miss out on new music and art, my internet radio connects me with the outside world, but so does myspace!

Music:

Any and all genres as long as it is good. I have a weakness for sad songs, Johnny Cash and rockabilly. Neko Case, anyone?

Television:

If it were possible for an appliance to go to hell and burn eternally TV should.

Books:

David J. Duncan, Annie Dillard, Hafiz, Charles Bukowski, Pablo Neruda, Ray Bradbury, Diane Ackerman, Jonathan Safran Foer, Ed Abbey....
