New Photo Project

While I was shooting in the subway the other day, I met a super sweet guy who told me he was a puppeteer. A puppeteer? How fun is that! I've never met a puppeteer before so it inspired me to start a new photo project where I visit people at their creative/colorful jobs and take a fun portrait of them.

For example, do you build giant ball pits? Are you a toy maker or some sort of designer?
Are you a clown, an acrobat, a dancer, an illustrator, etc... ?
If you live in NYC and would like to be part of my new project, email me at Colormekatie@gmail.com and tell me what your job is! It would be lovely to meet some other creative people out there and you'll get a fun portrait and a big hug out of it ;)

    I wish I could be part of it, as Art Therapist with children I think my job is FUN! And would love some fun actionpics, but Leiden, The Netherlands is a far way from NYC!
    Have fun!

    I love your picture of the clown throwing water. If you're ever in St. Louis, then you should definitely visit The City Museum. It's so your style.

    I live on Long Island and often go into NYC for work -- but you wouldn't want to photograph me: I'm a boring lawyer!

    I no longer have a job because i didn't find it creative anymore...i mean as a Certified Arborist i will still love trees for somebody else right? I would like to help with my newly found time off...my wheels are turning differently now...Santa gave me a scanner for Xmas to make digital copies and etc...What a great idea! Your on to something here! I'm 42 and have a 'Tree Guy' for most of it. I'm always living in Boston, MA and i have a few snaps from the last two blizzards on Comm Ave!

    Hey! I really like the idea of your project, I think it's a fun idea! But I think you should also take pictures of "boring" jobs, but do it in a way that makes it look fun and colorful!! I think that could be interesting too! Good luck with your new project! I can't wait to see the pictures!!!!
