About kirstiecat / Kirstie Shanley

For contacts/other photographers...I work a full time job during the day and have limited time most nights due to the time I need to spend covering shows and photoediting. I have a really hard time keeping up with everyone's photos try as I might. One thing I promise to do is return the favor if you comment or favorite one of my photos. (I do this even for photographers who are not contacts but have photos up.) I am very interested in a sense of community where feedback is exchanged on both sides.

If you are looking for setlist descriptions and reviews for these and other bands, please check my blog

(and if you forget what the address is...you can always google search: Kirstiecat)

Please contact me if you are interested in these photos at kirstiecat@gmail.com

I'm Female and Taken.

Testimonials

popcornhair says:
"My most vivid memory of Kirstie will be standing in line for a show - in Wintertime while she was ill and remembering how her face would lit up while talking about music and while inside, she was energetic and alert, taking photographs and being nice to everyone. People who take photographs should be more like her, passionate not only when it comes to taking a good shot, but also passionate about life and about enjoying the moment and the music, in spite of all the things that might be or go wrong."

gotnc says:
"Kirstie's concert photos are often amazing, which makes it a pleasure to come and come back on her stream. And not only is she a great photographer, she also has a true sense of sharing; I enjoy reading her as much as I enjoy viewing her pictures. She is definitly one of the contact I was the happiest to "meet" here on flickr."

GreenBicycle says:
"both her concert and urban photography are truly an inspiration for me. read her music reviews too! they're awesome!"

The GC Four says:
"fantastic photography here! you will be amazed and enlightened! :) keep up the great work!!"

inate says:
"Not only does Kirstie take wonderful concert images she has a great eye for urban landscapes and street scenes, a wonderful imagination and an engaging sense of humor. Her reading and play lists will expand your horizon if you let them. Highly recommended as an addition to your contact list."

OtterFreak says:
"keep up the good work! you continue to deliver exciting photos of lots of music that is new to me sprinkled with some of my very favorites."

@rlo says:
