I find it hard to believe that I am the first person to write a testimonial about the wonderful talents of K, talents that manifest themselves in the sweeping dark tones of her landscapes and seascapes and the mellifluous melodies of her ethereal voice. Working with both film and digital cameras, K explores the crash of waves; the flow of the tides in all of their grand repetitions; the wistfulness of passing clouds; the melancholy beauty of the lonely tree lost in a sweeping landscape; the solid, quiet beauty of rocks by the sea and the road; the lovely stateliness of horses; the glory of the day's end resplendent in its majestic colors; the grainy tones of the everyday; and the time stopping wonderment of a long exposure. In addition to her photographic and musical talents, K is also a kind, witty and generous human being! Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful work with us, K!

K.Arran’s skills allow the viewer to feel like we are there….we are drawn into the frame to then wish we could be able to borrow it (i.e., represent it technically), to then be able to show it to the world as well as she does.
