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 […]

©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 […]

©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 […]

©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.

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, […]

©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 […]

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 […]

©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 […]

©2012 Katya Horner The Beautiful Creatures. They inspire early morning rises and provide me with those all too important zen moments. Deer. I love them. This is the sixth time a photo of deer […]
