Kathleen Hawkes

Kathleen Hawkes is an MFA student at the University of New Mexico. Her thesis show is coming up this April in Albuquerque, NM. Her more recent photos deal with the surface of the photograph. She composites her photos together seamlessly. The images above are from the series "Tableware" in which she photographed tableware in a variety of ways. One of my favorite series done by her is titled "Belonging." In this series, she has catalogued burned objects and objects in suitcases that people would bring with them if they could. Her work is beautiful.

This is my friend Ed who so graciously chose to accompany me on a photo expedition through the shiftier parts of downtown. As a matter of fact, this photo expedition was the one in which I took my final project photos that you see below.

So these were the photos for my final project in photography. Tell me what you think please.

After I finished school for the semester, I felt really restless. I was worried about grades coming in and about getting everything ready for the visitors we would be having so soon. I guess I felt like I needed some color in my life. Some brightness. So one day I was meandering about the house and found that I loved how the light was hitting the bananas. I took some photos and felt immediately more animated and serene than before. And that's the story for today. :)

I like my skirt better in this one, but in the one below I think the position of my body is better. It was fun, though!

My first officially staged self portrait!
