If you’re here, you probably know me already. But if we’ve never met, I am Catherine, a beauty-industry executive and mostly self-taught photographer.
I like to tell stories. Sad ones, funny ones, strange ones - anything goes. To no one’s surprise, my degree is in Creative Non-Fiction Writing. I thought I’d be an award-winning journalist. Instead I wrote a now-defunct, pretty pointless blog.
At the ripe age of 35, I decided writing was no longer my “thing.” Still in need of a creative outlet, I sauntered into B&H Photo, bought a camera and began taking classes at the San Francisco Art Institute. I made this self-portrait in that basement classroom.
Photography gives me an immediate dopamine rush replacing the hole left when I stopped writing, which comes as no surprise to me.
It’s all stories, isn’t it? And, if you’ve got time to listen then I have stories to tell.
