Get Down for Inauguration

As I discovered last weekend, DC gets down for inauguration. This is the first time I've lived in the District for an election, and anyone who has a pulse, even the old and totally square, goes out to celebrate the swearing in of the president. Since it was hosted by my friends of No Kings Collective, I opted to stop by the Millennial Ball at the very cool converted warehouse space, M Central. Of course, I couldn't resist taking some snaps of the stylish attendees, including GoKateShoot regulars Martin Swift and Eliot Payne (with the victorious return of his mustache!), two of my favorites! There's a particularly hilarious set of the two of them toward the end, plus a couple of me all dolled up for the festivities. 

Happy Sunday!

Anti-Hibernation Scene

I'll be the first to admit that I've been hibernating. 

With winter seriously set in, a birthday, new apartment, trip to Vermont for the holidays, jetset to Sydney and Melbourne for a couple weeks, and work up the wazoo, December and January have been a whirlwind. That coupled with a serious artistic drain in the aftermath of my recent show at Submerge, a shift in a new direction was much needed. I did take some super sweet Instagram snaps along the way - you can check those out HERE, and I'll be doing a round-up from my travels Down Under.  

But never fear, I'm back for 2013 and ready to continue with more photos and video in the works!  I'm planning some big thematic and visual changes for GoKateShoot in the coming months, and am really excited. In the meantime, I'll continue sharing what I'm shooting, with interesting characters, wild style, and adventures sure to end in calamity! 

Per usual, as I'm sure you know by now. 

These photos are from a series of nights out on the town in late November - a little jaunt to the Warby Parker VIP party, which was insanely trendy and had truly excellent music (and glasses on a bus, whee!) is coupled with the social photos I took at Submerge, where I was showing, and snaps from Shannon Cusellos oh-so-fabulous birthday bash. The usual cast of characters are all fabulous and present, plus photos of Eliot getting hugged by, well, EVERYONE! Edgy and DC street with a little dash of crazy, these night out styles are to die for. Make it to the end - I really, really love that last photo.

Enjoy, and welcome back!
