Katie Barnes and Turtles: an ode


I thought about the wonderful Katie Barnes today when shooting turtles in a tiny, poorly lit outbuilding behind an aquarium. There's beauty there, waiting to be seen, in dark water and the reflection created by fluorescent bulbs. Katie finds beauty every single day, and that's why her departure from newspapers to freelancing will be such an adventure. Nothing ever stops her from making pictures. All. The. Time. She is prolific, talented, and lovely. You go, Katie! Taking the world away from newspapers by storm!
