Today is the fifth anniversary of the day I decided to start my own freelancing business. I can’t tell you how exciting it is for me to be able to write this post and say that I made it five years!
To celebrate, I’ve updated my logo. I’m in the process of redesigning and updating my website, which I expect to launch in September.
Everyone has heard the admonition to “keep it simple.” At Catena Creations, we have another admonition to go along with that: Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
It was this problem that led my chiropractors, Drs. Craig and Lacey Akridge, to ask me to redesign and update their website for Akridge & Akridge Chiropractic.
Applebee’s restaurant in Bellevue has chosen three sports photos by Catena Creations to be displayed as part of the restaurant’s remodeling this spring.
Marion Griffin, an interior designer at Artworkstudio in Mission, KS, supervised the remodeling. She found my sports photos on my SmugMug photo gallery, and contacted me in February 2013 to obtain permission to use them. I gave her permission, and sent some suggegstions for additional photos to consider.
When I tell people I’m a photographer, they are often surprised to find out I don’t do formal studio work such as portraits or weddings. Because of my background as a newspaper reporter, I prefer photojournalism such as shooting sports or special events.
A recent celebration for a friend reminded me once again why I enjoy event photography so much.
Catena Creations once again managed the Halloween Candy Buy Back for Emergency Dental Care USA. For the third annual event, this year we partnered with Offutt Air Force Base to collect treats for two units stationed in southwest Asia.
The partnership took the event’s success to new heights. We collected 177 pounds of candy on Nov. 1, the day of the event. But we were far from finished.
