My Spiritual Journey through Photography​
​/
​with 
Kathleen Carr
​/
Music by Vibhoda


“I have always been interested in conveying more than the literal interpretation of what I photograph, whether it be my experience of the subject when I am fully present, or where it leads me creatively. I seek to experience the radiance in all life and have my images express that radiance tangibly enough so that others may see and feel it, too. I care deeply about nature, and hope that my images will inspire people to honor the earth and all who live upon it.

I’ve used a variety of techniques and alternative processes over the years, including Polaroid transfers and SX-70 manipulations, hand coloring, infrared and underwater photography, and the digital darkroom. My current passions are digital infrared, landscapes, nature, compositing images, and figurative work. I am a member of the Kailua Village Artists Gallery, the West Hawaii Artists Tribe (WHAT), and president of the South Kona Artists Collective (SOKO).”


“Kathleen’s pictures, with their multiple layers of image and meaning, are also exquisite evocations of life, nature, and the human form. Often her pictures are ethereal journeys to places of beauty. She may take us on a walk through her neighborhood, a hike into the woods, or on a distant voyage. Kathleen’s pictures are intimate interactions, quiet conversations shared.” 
--Jim Alinder, an internationally respected photography authority and author

Kathleen received a BFA (cum laude) in Photography from Ohio University in 1970, and then studied extensively with Minor White and worked for Aperture, a renowned photography quarterly. She was a staff photographer at the Findhorn Foundation, Scotland, and Esalen Institute, Big Sur, CA during the ‘70s and ‘80s, creating books, slide shows and publicity materials. and then a Creative Uses consultant for Polaroid during the 90s and 2000s. Kathleen received a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in 1991, and is an Honored Listee in the Marquis Who’s Who 2024. Her award-winning photography has been exhibited internationally, purchased for private collections, and has appeared in numerous books and periodicals, including her own five books. She lives in Captain Cook, Hawaii.
