I block people who send me flickrmail asking me and everyone else to please please please view their photo. If your work is interesting, it will find its way to people by itself.

 

No. I will not give you a step-by-step tutorial explaining how I achieve my style. Giving tips and advice is one thing, giving away my hard work, my personal style which I've developed over the past 3, 4 years, is another. Don't expect me to do the latter.

 

On your side

 

Hi! I'm Karin Elizabeth - call me Kaat - and you're looking at my 5,5 year old flickr stream. Yowza. I'm a 28 year-old freelance, (mostly) self-taught photographer based in The Netherlands, where I've spent most of my life.

New to my stream?

- I will delete comments that contain either of the following: group awards, group invites, admin invites, other sparkly images or .gifs.

- I block people who favorite my photos, but have no photos (or stolen photos) in their streams and who have no contacts listed. I also block foot fetishists or anyone who thinks I should be their girlfriend.

- I block assholes; I won't allow strangers who don't even know me to insult or provoke me. Change what you don't like about yourself, instead of taking it out on other people who have done nothing to you.

- Pimping yourself out by spamming my flickrmail inbox with "...wants you to see a photo" = blockage. You're not that important, or that good.

I heart Kaat and her entire stream. Reasons are many and I could spend all day and best part of the next one numbering all of them, but what gets me the most is her creativity (and sweet personality), quirky humor, ability to express emotions through her pictures and catch my attention with thought provoking book reviews. Her work is a well rounded cocktail of everything that one might want : sweet on the eye, food for the brain and a little something for the soul as well. :-D You inspire me Kaat, both as a photographer and a person; here's to many many more years of that!

Karins photostream is probably my most favorite one on Flickr. Every time I browse through it I discover some more interesting and great photos I haven't seen before. Every single one tells a story and is a masterpiece of photography. Karin, I love your work! Keep it up!

the one aspect to karin's photography that stands out the most is her honesty. this can be a rarity in the art world. karin doesn't hold back. that is a genuine quality and is evident in her work. visiting karin's stream is a treat, a learning experience and one of my favorite stops of the day.

i got introduced to this amazing woman's stream by a Jesus on the cross photograph and since than i have been hooked on checking every single picture she shared with the Flickr community. Kaat's work is diverse, creative, funny and technically really good. You will love the toning of colours in her work, her many different projects like diptych, seasonsbox, 365, shoe gaze, dork extraordinaire. and above that her sensitive and beautiful view on the world around us that you can witness through her photography is well worth a constant return to her stream. and she combines her obvious talent for photography with a warm and caring personality that i have come to love. So check her stream for the many treasures that you can find in it.. i know you will love this stream as much as i do.

can't believe karin has no testimonial yet... is everybody sleeping? this woman is so talented. her pics open a view into a wonderful, sensitive, yet sometimes hillarious world. it's a pleasure to view her pics and take a walk through her sets... this isn't enough to describe how much i'm enjoying her work, her thoughts and also her attitude (as far as i can judge that). form yourself an opinion, you won't regret your visits here!
