Kathy ("Photo Kathy")

Not everyone uses myspace in the same way, so please take a couple minutes and actually *read* my profile to see what's going on.
I am on myspace for the Detroit local music scene and to find bands who would like to hire me for a photo shoot.
I have no intention of using myspace as a dating service, hookup service, or a place to find IM buddies or cross-country penpals. If your message sounds like that is what you are after, or if you ask to "chat" or email you offline, you are just wasting your time. Now, if you write me and actually have something intelligent to say, I will write you back.
I do not add everyone. I am not a "friend collector", nor am I a "new music collector". Please write to me before/when requesting to add me as a friend, especially if I don't know who you are out in realspace. If I don't hear from you, I won't add you.
Band Photography
I've been shooting local bands for about 3 yrs. Mostly live shoots, plus a few promo shoots. I use a digital SLR and fast lenses, and avoid flash as much as possible. (The point being, to try and make even crappy locations look NOT like crappy locations.)
I charge an affordable flat rate for live shows, and a low hourly fee for location promos.
Check out my web site www.photosbykathy313.us . Tons of my stuff is posted there. And rates are there too - look for the link to "Pricing for Photo Shoots" in the Contents column.
If you like what you see, let's book a shoot!
When I'm Not On-Line
My day job is an engineering technical writer. (Tech writers are the people who create instruction manuals, servicing guides, software help files.) ~~ In my spare time I take photos for numerous local bands and the annual APBA Gold Cup hydroplane races. Nope, I don't do wedding pics. (OK, I did TWO! I'll consider it if asked.)
My summer diversion: staff photographer for the Detroit River Regatta Association (DRRA) = the all-volunteer organization that hosts the APBA Gold Cup hydroplane race on the Detroit River. Click the logo to visit the event site:
