A group of Columbus photographers, all connected in some way to CCAD, were invited to create imagery to be hung in the gallery at Franklin Park Conservatory. Honored to have been asked, I set out to make work that would happily live within this family friendly, botanical context. We meet next Sunday to discuss installation. …
We have begun making beautiful things, the honeybees and I. For the time being, I will not reveal too much, but know that great things are underway. Below is an image from our first collaboration, six passionate, talented, female photographers, working together to speak of intimacy between artist and medium. The work has been shot …
Less words more pictures. Though I haven't made a cohesive series this summer I have shot a lot, read a lot, talked a lot and sunbathed a lot. This is good. It is good to breathe, to live and to explore. It is good to go home and to reevaluate. These are the things that will …
I am so excited to share with all of you my latest venture: The Hive. This is where all things travel related will now end up. Please give it a look, follow and let me know what you think.
Best,

It became very apparent to Tamrin (www.tamriningram.com) and I (www.kaitlynjosmith.com // www.kaitlynjosmith.wordpress.com) that our existing blogs were serving two very distinct, very different purposes: travel diary, art promotion. While both are a huge part of who we are and what we do, it was time they got separate homes. This is how The Hive came to be. In undergrad we referred to ourselves as the Honeybees, calling the lab we essentially lived in The Hive. After graduation we lost this physical space and decided instead to make it our virtual home. The Hive now serves as our travel diary, for all of our adventures both together and separate. It is a place for us to share our art and our lives, the places we go, the pictures we make and the people we meet. It is our hope that this new hive will inspire you to dream big, to…

Three months and three thousand miles later, here is my Colorado diary. We take on our roles, as driver, as passenger, as navigator and sandwich artist. We pick a spot on the map, fill up our tanks and drive off into the sunset. That week I was the driver, maneuvering my mother's silver Corolla half …
I have been working on this series for the past couple of weeks. Again it focuses on my grandmothers. We had recently sold one of their homes and the second is looking to downsize as well. I went back into the rooms I once frequented as a child, the beds I'd slept in during overnight …
I cannot believe that this semester is over. I know that is such a cliche thing to say, but it is so true. I also cannot believe the amount of work (that I am actually proud of) that I was able to produce this semester. I am hoping this productivity stays with me over Christmas …
Frustration. The frustration of two different people with two different ideas instructing what you are to do. Oh well, all of these things were discussed this morning and I am taking it with a grain of salt. At this point I just want to move forward and get these posters done. Right now I am …
Today during class I threw together some quick flyers to hang around campus. These are not the final movie poster (that is Gabby's job, although I will be helping her with the more technical end). These are just to get the word out and people talking about our short film. PS) This event is open …
Sunday October 27 was our second day of filming. We ironed through most of our problems Saturday, so everything ran super smoothly on set day two. I got up at five, bunny and what seemed like a million other props in tow, to be at the school by six (which I learned later was unnecessary …
