How Do You Know When To Take A Risk?
My story starts in April of 2016, when I told my husband of almost 26 years, I was leaving our marriage. After 3 years of couples counseling, it was time. Two days later I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. It felt par for the course, as my life was falling apart. I had never really followed societal norms, so it was no surprise to those who knew me, I would do divorce and cancer in my own way. Even with the very scary diagnosis I knew I had to listen to my gut, the marriage was over. I needed to tap into my inner strength and find myself. I had to be brave, face my fears and take a leap of faith, and trust that everything would be ok.
A Little Crazy, Right?
Two and a half years after taking a risk and doing some major soul searching, I am the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been! Cancer and divorce helped me to become the person I always wanted to be and never made time for. I am healing my cancer mainly with alternative methods and I am tumor free! Told you I do things differently! I’m keri vaca- intimate, a little raw and a lot spontaneous. When I work with you, my goal will be to learn all about you, get your number so we can text, and ultimately become BFF’s. Ok, I also want to capture your essence at this moment in your life. I want to tell your story in photos.

I have explored so many art forms. In one way or the other my life has had art and creation pulsing through it since I was a child. I have been a poet, spoken word artist for 20 years, I was a fashion designer, a doll maker, jewelry maker, hat maker, singer, dj, wife and mother to three beautiful children. In my newfound love of photography I feel I can really express a new part of my vision, allowing for new levels of my artistic eye to be brought forth.

Kyle Hailey has been photographing the West Coast "techno-tribal" dance scene since 2003. "Capturing the inner experience, those feelings, sometimes mystical or other worldly, has been my driving passion. I want to share images that point to a reality beyond words and beyond images, a world that we only see hints of a few times in our lives."

BIO

In 1990 I began my studies in sociology and photography at the University of California Santa Cruz. The marriage of my two interests gave birth to a passion for documenting life as I witnessed it. By the time I received my BA in Fine Arts/Photography, my quest for truth had given me a camera through which to scan the world for honest moments and to reveal life to itself.

In high school I had become inspired by photojournalist W. Eugene Smith, who worked for Life magazine and was known for his images documenting and exposing the effects of mercury poisoning on the Japanese people in Minamata. I saw Smith as an activist participating in the dialogue of world events through visual essays. Spellbound by his poetic visual stories, I began to seek the elements of truth through my own camera: the candid, peoples’ unselfconscious moments, and the often unnoticed, important juxtapositions of objects and people in the world. Everyone and everything around me had a story within.
