So I made a video...

I was working on my peerbackers account the other day and I thought that I should probably make a video. So I did. And I recorded for, I kid you not, 53 minutes of me just talking about EVERYTHING. I talked about my business, my blog, what I was crowd funding for, my family, friends, the laptop I was using, why I was to grow a business, why I started photography, you name it, probably mentioned it. So now what I have to do is edit that 53 minute monologue of my life story down to a short 3-4 minute video of why I'm crowd funding :P So that may explain why I haven't been blogging every single day.

I also re-activated my Netflix account five days ago. So recently, I've finished up the episodes I've missed from Grey's Anatomy, finished the 30 Rock season I left off on when I left last semester, watched Transformers 3, and today I watched Aeon Flux and Mean Girls 2. I didn't like the plot in Transformers 3 because it kept changing. Actually....I kinda like that, it kept me engaged throughout the movie. But I mostly liked it for its sarcastic tendency. I'm a very sarcastic person and I love it when movies, books, and pieces of artwork are the same way. Aeon Flux was very interesting. It was hard to follow at first but it had such an interesting story line and setting that I was glued the entire time. It reminded me a bit of The Island and Auldous Huxley's  Brave New World. I liked it. Mean Girls 2 on the other hand was dumb. I was expecting something remotely close to Mean Girls....but that was not the case. I liked the storyline though...It was very well put together. And the plot pretty much followed suite. I liked how there was more aggression in this one. That was cool.

Anyway! Back to editing my lovely little life story video for peerbackers! Don't forget to check it out!

Emma Watson

Let me just say, I love Emma Watson. I loved her him HP and I will follow her through every performance she does, ever. She is a huge role model to me in everything that she does. She carries herself to such a standard that makes me want to be really close friends with her. I feel like we would be good friends actually. We have the same tastes. And she's classy too. Like Lauren Conrad, another huge role model for me. The way Emma talks about things - she jokes, has sarcasm, and knows when and when not to be serious. That's how I want to be. I would love to get the chance to meet her. Even to just sit down and chat about life. She just seems like a down to earth person and not one of those 'I'm high on the life of the rich famous and popular people!' I really do feel that she would be a tremendous friend though. So, by chance that you are ever reading this Emma, know that no matter what you do, bad or god, I will always be rooting you on and ya know, if you ever do wanna chat? or have some coffee/tea sometime? You'd make my life. That or Jim Sturgess. I'd love to have coffee/tea with him too :) But moreso, you Emma.

Stay Classy Emma Watson Fans. Stay classy :D

Europe

My friend Shannon and I are dreaming about Europe lately. I told her about my adventure that I want to go on throughout all of Europe in May and now she wants in! So backpacking through Europe? Under 3,000? SURE! Challenge accepted! (I also want my friend Eli to come so it could three instead of two against the world!) So far, it's not too bad. The Music department is offering a 3 credit course to London for 2 weeks in May for 2,900 so I'm trying to beat them so that I can win Shannon over and we can have the adventure of our lives. So! Now I'm meeting two challenges! Trying to raise money for my peerbackers account (http://peerbackers.com/projects/the-necessary-tools-for-a-photographer/Come and show your support! You'll get stuff from me if you do! A LOT of stuff too!)
and this Europe trip planning.  
Here's the order of places we plan to visit:
Prague, Czech Republic
Vienna, Austria
Venice, Italy
Rome, Italy
Milan, Italy
Paris, France
London, England
Dublin, Ireland

We would fly into Prague and fly out of Dublin and spend approx two days in each city.

ANYWAY! So now it's just meals, rail passes, and places to stay. If you have any ideas, just comment below with them!

Approved!

My project has been approved for peerbackers! WOO! I'm so excited to get started on advertising my project! This will be a lot of fun and I just can't wait! Here it is! Go support! :D

Sent!

I have just sent in my company start approval for peerbackers! I was having a hard time deciding which project to begin. The choice was between a trip to Europe for artistic experience/exploration or new equipment to replace the non-existent equipment that I have now. I went for the new equipment because I could always go on that Europe experience/exploration another time. So wish me luck on approval! I'll keep ya'll posted :)

Oh my Goodness!

I'm so sorry I haven't been active for such a long time! I guess I got so busy with school, work, and being social that I was never really on my computer. Well I have vowed to change that! I'm moving blogging to the front of my agenda and I will at least post a little something here and there. I think what really got me was the fact that I had a schedule. So we're gonna try to just go with the flow and be creative!

First on my creative list:
I'm creating a business.

A business? What?!

Yes. A business.

I already have a photography business that I'm working on. Seeing how I'm studying photography and business in college, I thought it may be appropriate to also make that grow within this next year by two fold....at least.

BUT! The business that I am creating now is one of my favorite things to do. It's creating beautiful cards. So starting this week, I will be ordering card making supplies and probably by the week after, I'll open up a shop on etsy. I'll put some tutorials up probably and offer contests and what not later on in the business year. I'll probably do that same for KC Photography, but I'm still working on some projects with that.

The other big news is that I want to go to Europe in May. The places are undecided for now but I do know that I want to go to Prague, Venice, London, Paris, Barcelona, and anywhere in Switzerland, Greece, Austria, Sweden, Ireland, Bulgaria, and possibly Turkey. I want to basically see all of Europe...or at least a large portion of it in just about two to three weeks. So if you want to help me, I am going to make a peerbackers account and blog everything here and even send things to people if they want things and if I raise enough money for me to go.

Well! That's it! Email me at photographybykatiecole@gmail.com if you have any questions or anything of the sort! Thanks guys!
