10 things that make me happy

Personalizing my MetroCard,
showing Matty this picture just before he ate out of that bowl,
this band,
chicken tape dispensers,
doodling on empty boxes,
attacking Matty with tea strainers,

going to someone's house and hiding their stuffed animals in silly places,

making new thought bubbles,
turning my door into a muppet,
and my new wireless remote for my camera!
Now I can take pictures and twirl as much as I want until I feel sick.

Inspirado

It totally makes my day when I see pictures from my readers that say they were inspired by my photos. They're all so wonderful so I thought I would share a few!
They all make me so happy. Thanks for sharing your versions of my pictures with me!

Grass

Matty and I bought a bright green rug for our apartment.
( child not included )
My favorite thing about it is that it looks just like grass. We rarely get to see grass in the city!
Now Moo can be a grazing cow,
and I can work and have picnics at the very same time!
Who wants to bring the sandwiches?

A few random things about me

1. When I was little I was terribly shy and never spoke. My worried parents brought me to the doctor and were told that I would grow up a loner and probably end up working in the back of a post office.

2. I do not work in the back of a post office ;)

3. I absolutely love riding the subway and watching people. I sometimes don't get off at my stop just so I can stay on a bit longer.

4. I almost got arrested for what looked like public urination but I was really just squatting in a short dress, in a dark corner, late at night, petting a stray cat, he!
5. I crave food based on it's texture, not taste.

6. A genuine smile from someone makes me feel all tingly inside.

7. Many people in my family suffer from depression. It's one of the main reasons I decided to become a photographer. I wanted to create colorful, positive, feel good images.
8. When we picked out Moo at the cat shelter, I was afraid that I may be allergic to cats. So I picked up Moo (who was then named Spanky!) and rubbed him all over my face like a towel to see if I would have an allergic reaction.

9. I honestly cannot hurt a fly. I've been a vegetarian for ten years and spent many late nights as a kid freeing mice from the mouse traps around my house. (Shhh, my dad still doesn't know that!)

10. I often break out in giggle attacks while I'm alone on the train, which of course, makes me look insane.

11. My Grandma's name was Baby Katz. Is there anything cuter than that?

Safety Helmet

I think I need to start wearing a helmet inside my apartment,
since I spend most of my time trying to dodge bouncing cats.

12 things that make me smile



Dreamy postcards,

Flowers that look like they're about to sing,
Japanese candy
Fun candy sent to us from Japan,



Chin straps,
(They look like they're wearing bike helmets. I imagine if I unstrap them all their hair will fall off!)
Camouflage trees,
Pee supervisors,
My pop fell asleep
Messing with your pop in his sleep,
Spotting a teeny rainbow on a gloomy day,
Getting panties in your birthday card from your bf's mother,
My brother's long, flowing, braidable hair,
(he's like the sister I never had!)
Matty hangin' with his dawgs,
and Moo hangin' with his bad self.

Color Me Katie Shoes

I have very exciting news...
ModCloth named these colorful shoes after me!
The description says "from the streets of Brooklyn to your hometown, you too can walk around spreading cheer wherever you go with these bright, joyful flats, as colorful as Katie herself"
How cute is that?
smile
I love them so much and It seems like Moo does too. Doesn't this picture look like one big smiley face?

Check out my interview with ModCloth here!

Park Presents

It's so lovely outside that I decided to go to the park and leave little presents for everyone!
I got chalk for the kids,

Tennis balls for the dogs,

and flowers for the adults.

Although, they look quite happy playing with the chalk!
