Cathaleen Curtiss, Visual Media Consultant

Award winning photojournalist, editor and director of photography with broad experience in online media as well as traditional print publications.

As a photojournalist I have documented events from Super Bowls to Superpower Summits, covering three presidential administrations. In 1990 I was named, Photographer of the Year by the White House News Photographers Association.

As Vice President of Global Photography at AOL, I built and managed a staff of visual content editors based in VA, NY and Bangalore. While at AOL, I oversaw the direction, development and implementation of AOL Visions and Pixcetera.com.

I am currently a Visual Media Consultant and Coordinator of Entrepreneurship at Daemen College.

The photos in this blog were taken and edited on my iPhone. I call them "iphonotos". It is my belief, that the best camera is the one you have with you. Vision is more than seeing its taking the time to feel.

My photojournalist roots are the foundation for creating and sharing. I hope you enjoy them.

I am learning to listen to a favorite saying from my grandmother
"You can waste a lifetime worrying about tomorrow."

Life is a Journey

I believe that life IS the journey. The long road makes us wiser. The wrong turns make us stronger. The unexpected bumps bring us awareness. It all blends to make any path the right road and the journey filled with memories.

There are many reasons to make journeys. One particularly good reason is to visit our children, scattered far and wide.

This blog will be one of many highlighting our children and the fabulous places they have ended up.

As Ella prepares to go back for her final year of college, I am going to concentrate this update on our trip to visit her in Spain last fall.

It was especially fun for me, to see her so comfortable and at home in a foreign country. Showing us all the wonders she had found and grown to love about Spain and discovering new places together.
