Who's Catherine Jamieson?

Photos are selected at random from a "self" set of about images. I either look exactly like this, not at all like this, something like this, not like this anymore or yes, that's really me.

Who am I? 43, writer, photographer, sculptor, gardener, retired business executive, mother of two college aged children. Where do I live? Around the 100th Meridian where the Great Plains begin, flatland, big sky country. I'm Catherine Jamieson and welcome to my site.

This is about celebrating. Everything.

I have a small portrait business where I take unusual portraits of people where, often, the person's face is not visible. Yes, highly specialized. I also do commercial artwork, stock photography, to-order studio work and a variety of other related odd-jobs. Have cameras, will travel. I also sell a limited selection of prints from this site.

My book, Create Your Own Photo Blog, is being released by Wiley & Sons in April of 2006. Hey, what can I say? I honestly do believe everyone with a camera should have their very own photo blog - this is my effort to see if I can help with that. I have a second book coming out in the fall titled Digital Portrait Photography, also published by Wiley - details soon.

I'm in the middle of working with a highly motivated and talented bunch of people to create a new community site called utata.org in which we bill ourselves as a "semi-civil tribe" of photographers and writers and in between that project and this site and the book and the one day in the future dream I am really pretty darn busy.
