Hermann Park [Evening Edition]
Hope everyone is ready for the weekend. I can’t believe it’s March already! In Houston, March means the beginning of the wildflower season, the bird migration season and “it’s time to play outdoors” season. So much to look forward to! But before all that starts, I need to post my most recent “fun with camera” […]
What’s in a name? [Fruity Pebbles]
So I posted new photo to my Facebook page and to my Society6 shop yesterday. I called it Therapy. I wasn’t completely sold on the name, but I was drawing a blank and feeling particularly impatient. It would have to do. Fast-forward about an hour. I returned to Facebook to read the comments on my […]
Cathedrals in Nature
Of cathedrals and arches, nature and grace. This is my extended office. I’m thankful for that. The Green Floor ©2013 Katya Horner The Forest’s Cathedral©2013 Katya Horner Tree-Lined©2013 Katya Horner I just added The Green Floor, my newest photo, to my Society 6 Shop. If interested, you can purchase a print here. Unrelated to photography. […]
Before and After [Just a Little Orange]
I have a general category of photography that I like to call “Whims of Change.” These are my photos that have textures and hyper-saturation. They are not intended to be literal representations of nature, but nuggets for the imagination. They are no more a product of my camera than my cat’s dinner is. They are […]
Fog Season [Gulf Coast Rural]
I was supposed to be in Palm Desert, California, visiting my dad, this past week, but had to cancel because of health reasons. Needless to say, I was extremely bummed about the turn of events. I had been looking forward to the visit. And from a photography standpoint, I had been psyched about going to […]
Fog Season [Creepy and Wonderful]
It’s a new year, and so far it’s been an exceptionally difficult one. From health issues to friends losing family members to cameras breaking to lost credit cards — it’s been a doozy. I guess that’s the way things go though. You win some, you lose some…and sometimes there’s fog. And speaking of fog, I […]
The Ones I Like List of 2012 [#1]
©2012 Katya Horner Showtime. I’m not a huge “Grand Canyon” person. There are “Grand Canyon” people and there are Grand Canyon people, and I fall into the latter group. My perfect beauty isn’t of rocks and divides, but […]
The Ones I Like List of 2012 [The Best of the Rest]
Okay, I want to warn all of you that you may be in for a bit of a let down. I hope not, but it could happen. As we approach my #1 photo of the year on my The Ones I Like List of 2012, I will tell you that the photo wasn’t one of […]
The Ones I Like List of 2012 [#2]
©2012 Katya Horner Leaves in blue. I chose this photo as #2 on my The Ones I Like List of 2012 because there’s not an ounce of chaos in it. It’s calming and it’s easy, and it invites me to step off the roller coaster for a while and decompress. Most of my photos […]
The Ones I Like List of 2012 [#3]
©2012 Katya Horner In Restless Dreams He Walked Alone. I just realized that this is my second photo in the Top 10 with a title that comes from or is inspired by Simon and Garfunkel’s song “The Sound of Silence.” Odd. I don’t imagine that I’ve done that with any other song. I guess […]
The Ones I Like List of 2012 [#4]
©2012 Katya Horner Monte Sano Calls. Before embarking on my “In Search of Fall Foliage” road trip to Northern Alabama in November of 2011, I did a lot of research. There were many gorgeous waterfalls in the northwestern part of the state and some glorious vistas in northeastern part of the state, but what […]
The Ones I Like List of 2012 [#5]
©2012 Katya Horner To Somewhere. Because I love morning mist and railroad tracks. Because I like the blue and brown color combination. And because “to somewhere” is usually my ideal destination when I shoot. No plans. Just me, my camera and a bunch of happy surprises.
The Ones I Like List of 2012 [#6]
Breathe. I took the photo Breathe in Lake Tahoe in 2007. Why then is it only finding its way into my Top 10 list now? Well, it’s a story of storage and failures and loss. It’s a story of a trip erased and an archives stunted. It’s a story about a dead external drive. Yep, […]
The Ones I Like List of 2012 [#7]
©2012 Katya Horner Shades of Happy, Shades of Calm. I’ve always felt painfully behind in this profession I’ve chosen — Professional Photographer. I think I never quite understood what it meant, that job description. Reading photography forums online or listening to experts in the field, I was led to believe that to be […]
The Ones I Like List of 2012 [#8]
Two Birds in a Tree. When I first looked at this photo in Adobe Camera Raw, my most indispensable processing software, I knew I had something, but I had no idea that I had this. There was a strong white/grey to the original photo, and the birds were centered in a standard 2:3 frame. The birds […]
The Ones I Like List of 2012 [#9]
©2012 Katya Horner A Vision Softly Creeping. It’s what fog does right? To your vision? To your landscape? It doesn’t enter like a drunken streaker rounding third base; it’s cautious. It’s less of a precise moment and more of a blending of seconds. It creeps. 2012 brought a slight shift in how I think […]

The Ones I Like List [2011]
So it’s time for my year-end “The Ones I Like List.” Of course, since I never even finished my 2011 “The Ones I Like List,” posting my 2012 favorites seems a bit premature. So shall we revisit the 2011 selections? I actually managed to post #10 before the blog “went dark,” and you can see […]

The Ones I Like List of 2011 – A Countdown [#10]
“in the rose garden” ©2011 Katya Horner in the rose garden. I do like a good rose. I do. But I’m not inspired by one. I prefer the gentle spirit of a daisy, the simple optimism of the forget-me-not, the independent streak of a wildflower and the humble posture of the lily-of-the-valley. Like most things […]

just catching up [buffalo bayou regatta and batch rename]
©2011 Katya Horner (All Photos and Videos) Not all of the scenes that I photograph get “repurposed” into visual hyperbole. Sometimes, actually most of the time, they remain fairly true to their original presentation. That’s the case with the photos in this blog post — scenes from The Bayou. So let me get […]
