this is the what

and what a trip it has been! I hope you all had fantastic summers. Can you believe Fall is here?

I had my son at the end of July. On his due date with 16 minutes to spare (I am both nervous and proud that he may be a bit neurotic like his mama). His name is Milo, and I wake up every morning in giddy disbelief that he is mine.

In the short time in-between naps I have been working on the second issue of This is That magazine which should be up for sale in the next 2-3 weeks. I will post a link when its finished and available for purchase. I am working with a web designer to update this site but I am antsy to get some posts out, so.. here goes.. normal posting should resume in the next week or so. If I miss a day or two, don’t think I forgot about you, I am just a clueless new parent on very little sleep, trying to figure this all out.

Thank you for your kind emails and comments while I was away. They meant a lot during those sleepless nights.

Love, Kate

The Rineke Dijkstra show at the Guggenheim looks fantastic. Its up until October 8th, so if you’re in town you have no excuses. See more work and read the review, here.

“Almerisa, Asylum Center Leiden, Leiden, Netherlands, March 14, 1994″ – Rineke Dijkstra and Marian Goodman Gallery, New York and Paris

I am thrilled to announce that the first issue of This Is That magazine is officially for sale (here)! The magazine is 166-pages and filled with incredible images and words by Fiona Aboud, Timothy Archibald, Sam Comen, Philip Cheung, Robyn Twomey and Reed Young. It was designed by the amazing Jen Cogliantry. It has been a lot of work for all of us (as you can probably tell by my lack of posts) but sitting here looking at it I have to be that cliche; totally worth it. I hope you all love it as much as I do.

Please click on this link to check it out and purchase a copy if you are interested.

(For all of you generous Kickstarter backers, you will be receiving your copies in the next 2-3 weeks. I will be posting some sneak-peaks and behind the scenes soon..)

Interesting video with Errol Morris on the Guardian site, discussing photography and its connection to the world. Check it out, here.

fun holiday ‘card’ from the awesome Craig Cutler, here. Between that, John Keatley’s amazing card, Jordan Hollender’s doughnut delivery and Ty Cole‘s  homemade cookies, I’m feeling pretty damn festive.
