The Ones I Like List of 2016, Part II
As we say good-bye to this past year, I offer up the top five photos from my The Ones I Like List of 2016. The Ones I Like List of 2016 [#5] After the Storm. I’m normally afraid of severe storms. Strike that, paralyzed by them. A tornado watch, not altogether uncommon in Houston, can […]
The Ones I Like List of 2016, Part I
Well, it’s that time of year – time for reflection, wisdom and a motivational kick-in-the-pants to spring you into 2017, creatively and otherwise. While I can’t promise you the most profound wisdom or the most effective kick-in-the-pants, I can offer a solid look back at my photography — my top ten photos of 2016. We’ll […]
Horses
Last year I took a three-week trip, by car, to the great state of Wisconsin — my birth state. The whole purpose of the trip…
Red Bird, Yellow Leaves
I was simply photographing this tree in the fog when the cardinal appeared in my photo. It usually… (Katya Horner/Slight Clutter)

Cherokee Park
An October evening in Cherokee Park in Colby, Wisconsin. The autumn foliage has recently been hit by fall winds and many of the leaves can be seen in the Big Eau Pleine River. (Katya Horner/Slight Clutter Photography)
Through the Woods
The Door County Trolley takes passengers through Peninsula State Park in Wisconsin. Taken at the start of the second week of October, the leaves were about a week or so from peak in the area. (Katya Horner/Slight Clutter Photography)
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” […]
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 […]
TisBest to Give Back
©2011 Katya Horner. All rights reserved. (Applies to the photo on the card.) I make a living creating fairytales. It’s nothing I ever expected to do, but it’s become my reality, and that’s pretty amazing. I’m thankful. Immensely. Today I was turned on to the wonderful organization, TisBest. TisBest is in the business of charity […]
fun with photography [science edition]
Photo on Left: Hubblesite.org Photo on Right and Below: ©2011 Katya Horner Okay, folks, this is a short blog post, but I simply had to share. I was happily processing my ice photos last night when I was hit with a funny feeling, a feeling of déjà vu…all over again. (Sorry, I truly can’t help myself.) I knew […]
meditation
©2011 Katya Horner. All rights reserved. (All photos in post.) It seems like it was only yesterday that I was lamenting about the creative disappointment that was 2010. Now to think of it, it was yesterday. Iced Soy Chai Monday, otherwise known as Lamentation Day. The great thing, though, about Lamentation Monday is that it […]
snow can wait, i forgot my mittens*
©2011 Katya Horner. All rights reserved. (All photos in post.) Oh, winter, forever we will be ships in the night. Houston doesn’t do winter. We don’t. Oh sure, we do holidays. We buy sweaters. We eat chili. But we don’t do winter…in the classic sense. Bing Crosby and White Christmas and lakes iced-over — well, […]
Etsy Love
First things first — my blog has a new look. Like it? Dislike it? I would love your feedback. Okay…back to regular programming. So I got back on Etsy earlier this week. I’ve had a shaky love affair with Etsy — always setting up shop and then quickly dismantling shop due to work demands. I’d […]
Slight Clutter’s Houston [The Orange Show]
Just a few more photos from the Orange Show in Houston, Texas. I had intended to post these last week, but time had alternate intentions.
Slight Clutter’s Houston [The Orange Show]
© 2009 Katya Horner It started as one postal carrier’s monument to his favorite, life-extending fruit – the orange. Today, nearly thirty years after his death, Jefferson Davis McKissack’s architectural whimsy is a folk-art masterpiece, bearing witness for any closet funkster, any quirky everyman who’s ever dreamed of stepping beyond the Velvet Elvis and into […]
Cactus Dreams and Fitness Ridge
© 2009 Katya Horner So, I’ve been away from my camera most of the past week. What on earth, you might ask, would keep me from my favorite partner in crime, my Canon 5D Mark II? Well, fitness, if you could believe it. Fitness Ridge, more precisely. After a few years of weight gain and […]
Missed it by a hair…
Just a quick note to mention that my photo, that for which i’m thankful, missed out on being Texas Photo Forum’s Landscape Photo of 2007 by one vote. One vote! Sigh. The consolation is that the winner’s photo, one of the best sunrise at the Grand Canyon images I’ve seen, is amazing. It also doesn’t […]
sunrise in santa fe
© All rights reserved. Just a quick blog post to say that my photo, sunrise in santa fe, will be seen in advertisements for The Residence Club at El Corazon de Santa Fe over the next year. The ads will appear in mostly regional publications throughout the Southwest, but there might be a few smaller […]
Flickr Stats
© All rights reserved. Flickr recently launched a new feature – Stats! Photographers are able to see not only their stats en total (all time view counts for photos, photostream, sets and collections), but also for specific photographs. These stats have provided a lot of information about the party that’s been going on at my […]
