I, too, love the care you give the issue of privacy–I have always loved this side of you. And I also was so taken with that photo of the three of them examining the picture–beautiful!
Kate, you really are a wise woman. Photography is touching. It is touching our souls, it is touching how people react to your vision. It is touching, full stop.
You are really putting yourself out there these days, Kate. I respect and admire that.
Photography is like touching. Don’t forget, though, that any touch involves two people. You are being touched too and you are learning your comfort zone around all this touch just as your subjects are.
It is hard work, and you’re putting yourself out there.
A lot of this is much the same with writing; I think it’s common to the creative process in general. Work when you don’t feel like it. Don’t wait for inspiration. Know what you want to say. The body of work comes before assignments. Etc. And it’s hard and exhausting to do all that when you can never be sure in the beginning what will come of it.
Oh gosh, reading this after reading the next post makes this one that much more heart-rendering to read.
First, thank you SO much for the quick synopsis of the Weber workshop. Excellent advice, even for a dilletante like me. (Erm, perhaps even especially for a dilletante like me.)
But, more importantly, I have to tell you that I feel the rawness you were feeling this week, and I admire you so much for not only going through it in the name of beauty and art, but for sharing your experiences with us. I’m so glad you got the affirming and positive feedback you did from your subjects — that must be entirely more validating to you than simply having us cluck and caw over your photography.
I truly hope this isn’t the end of your drop-in project…
Honestly, to me it speaks volumes that you give pause and really consider these issues of privacy and boundaries.
I admire your work greatly. And it was a distinct pleasure to meet today.
i am so pleased that you’re getting positive feedback from the people you’re working with, connecting with.
and i LOVE that photo of the three looking at the picture.
photography like touching. yes, it is. very much.

Good for you.
