Happy Birthday to me
I usually go through a small mental breakdown on my birthday.
I’ve already done the quarter life crisis freak out thing two years ago. I took a pair of scissors from the kitchen drawer and chopped six inches off my hair – I thought it would make me look a little edgier. It turns out that it sort-of works if you use a blunt pair of scissors. Is edgy the same as chunky?
This year is different though – I’m feeling optimistic. I attribute this mostly to the things that have been keeping me busy. So instead of indulging in five pounds of cake while pondering over what I haven’t accomplished, I’m going to celebrate. Here’s to all the people who have entered my life this past year and have brought a smile and sense of inquisitiveness. And let’s not forget those that are already here, who continue to keep me focused, grounded and sane as they themselves endure the wrath that is Kim.
Many people ask: “where is your picture?” I guess that, after reading the blog and looking at photos for awhile, they expect to see a shot of me. But it’s a bit of a silly question to ask a photographer isn’t it? By it’s very definition, I _can’t_ be in any of the shots in this blog. So, after shooting a friend of a friend in the studio today, I had a fotogeek help me out…
At this point I would normally just say something like.. I dunno “One year closer to death”. But I’ll adjust that this year to “one year wiser.”

Nice Kim!!
Happy Birthday!
Hi Kim, Happy Birthday! I hope all my antics bought an early birthday smile to your face yesterday, albeit a day early! Enjoy your day and I’m looking forward to how yesterday turned out!
Your birthday. Hmm, well, from someone you have only met in passing, let me say….
the images you capture take me away from what seems to have become endless snow and endless work. In the morning, it is the thing that sparks my enthusiasm and creativity. The images you capture, they touch my soul and make me smile. You reminid me to look a little more carefully…
So, on your birthday, I want to say…thanks.

Happy Belated Birthday!
Your blog is on my daily visit list…and I visit almost every day. I guess it’s part of the whole reality show phenomenon, It’s interesting to see where you go next. I’m new to St. John’s and also a photographer. I’ve got lots to learn about the St. John’s art/photography scene. Just wanted to let you know that I enjoy your blog and your photography. You have great consistency (and I mean that in a REALLY good way).
Wow, thanks guys! It’s so nice to see newbies comment. I’m already in a unusually pleasant mood today but this is just icing on the cake. mmmmm… Icing.
Yes Micheal, your antics were quite entertaining. It was so much fun looking through your “film” last night, I’m still smiling here. Amazing job btw!
Ohh… Margaret. Your comment made me reach for a Kleenex, maybe I’ve not yet cleared the “breakdown” zone. I hope Lindsay and Michael are doing well.
Hey Kim!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY (well I guess Belated!) :) Hope you had a great one!
I LOVE the picture of you! It is awesome! Talk to you soon!
