On Your Walls … Updated!
Rock and Roll!
Hey there ~ I’ve updated my portfolio link to include some images from a photo shoot with a local Raleigh band. These guys were WAY too much fun, I’m really happy with how these turned out. Plus it was nice to be able to explore the ‘depths’ of downtown with five guys to escort me!
I’d LOVE to photograph another group – please let me know if you, or anyone you know, is interested!

I have a few live band photo shoots on the books, so check back later for more!

**UPDATE** Come down and see me … I will be handing out a limited number of promo cards for a print credit!
The Delivery, or Not.
I had it all worked out. I would gather my children from school and all of their after school activities, and we would deliver the print to the art museum together. How cool for them and me, I thought. They will get to see behind the scenes at the art museum (one of their favorite places!) and possibly meet some other artists. In case you didn’t know, my youngest is an aspiring artist, with the pencil and the instrument (:
Anyway, it was 5 o’clock and we were all home. Whipped out the camera to take some pre-delivery shots. This one ended up being my favorite, and it’s the one where I’m testing my camera settings!
(for photogs – I always take at least one test shot to verify my histogram is where I need it to be. Click HERE for a great tutorial on this)
“Let me check my email one more time to verify exactly where I need to go ” I told my kids, as they loaded into the car. I pulled up the email, and it said, “… from 10a-5pm”. Oh swear word. I thought the drop –off time ended at 6pm. So we rushed over, and although the art museum isn’t far from my house, we had to endure some ridiculous Carolina Hurricanes pre-game traffic on the way.
I was a bit stressed because I am the on time person. I HATE to be late. Especially for glorious moments such as this!!
We arrived at 5:45 and there was nobody but the crickets hanging around.
Needless to say, this tipped my mood a bit. However, I was able to deliver my print the next day. Without the children. Without any photographic evidence. But that’s okay (:

North Carolina Museum of Art … Here I Come!
Yes, you read that right … this image will be hanging in the North Carolina Museum of Art (East buidling – the NEW one) from May 6th-May 21st!!!
I submitted this image to be considered for the Art of the Auction Event, and to my absolute joy it was chosen! All works will be auctioned via silent auction, but one will be chosen as ‘best in show’, winning $1000 and included in the LIVE auction. Not sure when that will be announced, but if I win best in show you will surely hear about it!
I have created a Facebook Event Page with more information … click HERE to visit. Feel free to ‘like’ Kathy Howard Photography too while you’re there – I’d be flattered!
If you are in the area, I’d love to see you at the opening (free) event on May 6th. I will be updating this event page, and probably this blog too, with pictures from this whole experience. Today the kids & I will deliver the print to the back loading docks – exciting stuff!
