I am a Kathie Jones, the photographer behind the cameras at Art Beat. I have had a love affair with photographic images since I had my first camera at 4 years old. Mom figured she was best served by giving me my own Kodak 110 Instamatic when she developed two rolls of film and found I had taken pictures of her legs, the ironing board, my stuffed Eeyore…anything at a 4 year old’s eye level. Today I have graduated from my trusty Kodak 110 (which I still have, by the way!) to Canon and Nikon professional cameras, but I still love to share what my eye sees with others. Whether photographing an engaged couple or a wedding, children or pets, a bar mitzvah or a newborn, the same excitement still holds for me as when I posed fellow kindergardners and used that little-film-cartridge-holding 110 camera to create images of monkey bar swingers and tree climbers. Visit often to get a view through the lens and see how I view the world around me. For information and pricing about portrait sessions visit www.artbeatphotography.com.

I love this new macro lens! Close ups of fingers and toes, flowers and leaves. It gives a totally different perspective.

Hackers Are E V I L

June 18, 2009 at 6:38pm Posted in Uncategorized

For anyone that has been to my site recently and saw the mess that it became, my hardiest apologies. I was a victim of a hacker that took my site down totally. It is now repaired, but I have to redo the last couple months posts as I was remiss in backing those up! Oops....

We has a great day today …lovely weather…no wind…and it wasn’t very muddy, surprisingly, after the rain we had yesterday. Oh and another bonus: We all made it across Deer Creek with just a little wet feet, and no one fell off the rocks or Kilgore Falls! :^D
