BLOG HAS MOVED!

Hi friends,

I'm excited to announce that this is no longer where my blog will be located. I finally made my own website, www.susannahkay.com, thanks to the help of my fellow photo friend, Joel Hawksley. My blog can be found there as well.

Happy Halloween!

Progress

Things are really coming along nicely in New Marshfield with Jim Galvin's big cat sanctuary. If you have no clue what I'm referring to, you should visit this link: http://2011.soulofathens.com/our-dreams-are-different/the-wild-life-1.html, or just keep scrolling down on my blog. The outdoor enclosure is almost finished and will be a gigantic improvement from where Dudley and Boomer are currently staying. Jim is now going through the process of marketing and fundraising to try to raise money so he can continue building more and more cages on his property.

Every day I remind myself how lucky I am to be able to get up close and personal with these cats. They really are as goofy and lovable as house cats (don't worry mom, I'm being careful!).

The new enclosure!

Back in Action

Slowly getting back into my volleyball groove. I decided to change things up a bit by checking out a 500mm for a new perspective.

Food & Wine Affair

Last week I got to put my commercial skills to use at the Columbus Food & Wine Affair. My good friend and commercial photographer, Michael Maurer, invited me to assist him in photographing this amazing event featuring top of the line wines and food from all over the country. Between being escorted around by golf carts, the free gourmet food and the wonderful light, it turned out to be quite a lovely evening.

Pawpaw Day

The Pawpaw is the native fruit of Ohio (tastes like a banana combined with a mango).

Every fruit should have it's own festival.

Home Sweet Home

Finally back in Athens, and it feels wonderful. It's been great reuniting with close friends and the amazing photography they made this summer, and of course, seeing Dudley and Boomer, my tiger pals who are x10 bigger since I last saw them. May this next school year bring inspiration!

The Boys and The Kids

Scotland presented the opportunity to focus on subject matter I'm passionate and really excited about. 

Here's one of the finished products from the last four and a half weeks. I hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed shooting.

I got pooped on by more than one bird today.

Piecing it Together

This story is complex - my favorite kind to tell. I'm not quite sure yet which way I'm going to run with this one, so stay tuned! Mary, John, Georgie, Bob and the pups- thanks for the awesome Scottish memories (and all of the chocolate!). 

Blair Castle

Nature at it's Finest

I went adventuring and came across a forest with so much life - mushrooms in every color of the rainbow, Bambi-looking deer, ferns covered in slugs and spongy moss coating the forest floor. I think I've read about this forest in a fairytale.

Pups of the Week

If you're a dog lover (like me), come to Scotland. You'll not be disappointed, I promise.

Hello, Scotland

Scotland is beautiful. That's really all there is to it.

As many of you may already know, I'm spending the next four weeks here studying abroad with fourteen other photojournalists and my professor. It's a pretty ideal situation, and I'm really excited to see what the rest of this adventure has in store.

For now, I'm observing and soaking in my surroundings while gearing up for some big projects and deadlines heading my way.

I'm excited to report that I have never seen more cute dogs anywhere else in my life.
