As I see it...

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."

Four years ago tonight flight 3407 crashed in Clarence NY killing 49 people on board and one person on the ground. It was a tragedy that could have been avoided. Today the Families of the accident’s victims lobbied the U.S. Congress to continue to enact more stringent regulations over regional carriers, and apply greater scrutiny for safe operating procedures and the working conditions of pilots. My respect and condolences go out to them all.
