Was up til 6am deep cleaning my room and moving stuff so my BFF Amanda can start moving in. It took me a long time to be ok with this idea of sharing my room. It wasn't personal she's my best friend, it was just a pride thing. In early 2012 my temp job the museum ended and I applied to 200 jobs in caregiving. I went on maybe a dozen of them and only one person gets the job. I worked for a bunch of temp gigs in caregiving until I finally found one that summer that was perfect with a great family and its still my main job to this day. I worked really hard to keep my room to myself considering I have a good job with no college education and stuff. To open my room and share feels like I'm going backwards and I've failed. I also grew up in NY and its been my families home for generations. im not here in a 'make it or break it, go big or go home situation' doing whatever it takes to stay in nyc. But its ok and it's going to be good, I can save more money and hopefully by this time next year ill be living in California. It's also given me the opportunity to get organized .. I've loved rearranging and organizing the room. There's a lot more pros than cons and I'm excited to get started on a lot of things I've been held back on because of money. 😊

You know, nobody ever really takes time to get to know me - like physically, emotionally and morally. You may know the facts but do you know the story? I've got a lot of stories to share. But i want to describe myself first. My mom says ever since i was little - as young as a toddler - i've always been a leader, not a follower. I will confidently admit I am incredibly stubborn when it comes to being given advice, but thats why Im a caregiver and photographer - they are both my own businesses that i've started and that I've priced. I work alone and I run the fucking show. Doing that allows me to put forth my skills and i feel much more accomplished and i can really surprise myself. I've created my own brand, my own image. I choose how I want to be seen and how I want to be known. People feel more comfortable with me for my laid back atmosphere and realstic outlook. I don't work in a business environment in a suit and tie or dress, I wear band tshirts, jeans and Taylors - its my uniform that I wear to my caregiving job, my photography gigs, and on my days off. Hell, even my dads funeral .. thats what he wore too. It has barely ever turned people away from me, even with the kids and their parents. they all ask me to take care of their kids too (were talking wealthy midtown folks) Why? Because I still get the job done and I'm great at my jobs. Being able to be myself has helped my confidence in doing my jobs correctly. Dont get in my way and try to change me. Truth is you can't and you need to accept that. You also need to realize that the more you taunt me the more influential it is for me. That's the bright side to being stubborn and having an attitude. I'm proud and happy with the person I am and you should step onto that side of my world. Get to know me a bit better. 😘 ❤Kelly (in honor of my recovery 6 years to the day 10.25-27.2008 - working hard to become the kind of person I love)

I always put other people on display. But photographers have their stories too.

TBT - 'EXPOSED'

Description: This photo was done my co-paranormal investigator, Sue Ralph. I have a scar going down the back of my neck and as a huge sci-fi fan I always joke that its a sign im an alien because its right where the zipper would be when a human revealed himself to be an alien in 1950s sci fi flicks and one of my favorite movies, Men In Black. So I told my story to Sue and the ideas of acknowledging my love for sci-fi (*note the doctors and nurses). Im visibly roughed up from a long battle of running and fighting but now they're opening me up to reveal my true identity and that reflects my real life living with depression, an attempted suicide that put me in the hospital (noted in the painting), and covering up my true self.

I love this painting so much and love Sue for doing it!

Happy Birthday @ Eastern State!

the full investigation of Eastern State Penitentiary. it was the eve of my birthday and i had been wanting to go back on my own so i grabbed my group of friends to come with me since they always expressed an interest in my paranormal trips.

we explored death row, the punishment cell (boiler room), cell block 12, the operating room, al capones cell block, the newly renovated synagogue, and another newly reopened cellblock (i wasnt able to take note of which number it was)

sadly, as i reviewed the recordings, it seems we werent able to record any evidence. we did hear a few things around us, which we acknowledge out loud, but i will say that this particular night seemed very quiet and i barely felt energy. this was my second time at Eastern State Pen. the last time being with a very large group as part of the Darkness Radio events with the Ghost Adventures Crew and other paranormal researchers, and we did get a few voices recorded so i cant say for sure this place has a lot or a little amount of activity. but i will say i was very happy to be back here again on my birthday and boy were there memories of being there with the GAC two years ago and where my interest in taking part of the paranormal field began.

TBT - July 2013 at OSR. a spirit is heard laughing with us

*TIP - some people ask me if im sure thats a spirit and not my friend who is laughing. and it is definitely a spirit. we were the only two in this wing of the prison at the time and if you block us out and just listen to the white noise my friend stops laughing and i start to say 'no because' and thats when you hear a thin almost distant laughter. our voices are clear and low pitched, the spirits voice is on another frequency and almost sounds high pitched and laughs a lot longer and faster.
