I usually don’t post much of my photography, but this is a photo of the moon from last night that I took.

One month ago yesterday, my dad said goodnight in the form of a huge orange moon, and I believe this night he did the same thing.

My first stop motion film.  This piece portrays the life of the ever so beautiful sand hill crane.  It consists of approximately 2,300 photos and no videos.

This film was created by Katie Hale.

Hope you enjoy!

A couple weeks before christmas and before my dad went into the hospital, he said those ever so familiar words to me.

“Kate, i’ve got a job for you.”

I rolled my eyes and asked him what he needed.  To my surprise, he had an idea for a painting.

“I need for you to do a painting for me.” he said.

“A painting of some mountains, big mountains, with a kowabunga tree coming off the side of a cliff just like in Karate Kid.”

Well, I haven’t seen Karate Kid since I was young, and I soon realized that by Kowabunga tree, he meant bonsai tree.

I have done this painting in his memory, because it was one of the last favors he asked of me. My dad was the strongest man I have ever met in my entire life.  He was our rock, seemingly immortal and indestructible just like the cliff in this painting. 

Although he has passed away, I can still feel him with me, acting as my rock and support.

He will always be my invincible hero.
