Click on the image for a bigger view. I have been so lost in trying to find 3 "Red Hot" images for the ArtWalk that I was beginning to wonder if I had any talent at all. Everything I thought would work has fallen flat. :( Yesterday, I thought that is it.... it is gone! All of my creativity has left. Disgusted I got up from my computer and picked up my camera to walk outside and check on Hubby. (who was doing his weekly cut the grass obligation) There stood a yellow spider Lilly. Now I have wanted yellow Spider Lilies for years. My good friend Kim was kind enough to give over a couple of bulbs last year. So this year I have 2. Makes me smile every time I look at them. Here is one of the yellow lilies. Click on image for a bigger view. Anyway, back to my mojo... While walking around the front yard, there comes Grace. I swear she is my most favorite little person. She is yelling... kimi, kimi, Maddie is here. So of course I say, go get Maddie and we will take some pictures. Afte...

Click on the image for a bigger view. My buddy Grace again. I have to admit... this has become one of my favorite images. Yes she is a beautiful child. But for me, it is a peek into Grace's soul. She is such a free spirit. Always a huge smile on her face, always bouncing from place to place. This quiet moment seems like a gift. This image was worked following some of the basic principles from this weeks homework. Our second lesson for the fall session has been posted. I do hope you stop by and give it a look. Every Tuesday I will post a lesson or find a tutorial on the net for us to work. Some will be just plain funky for the fun of it. (hint for next week). This is a small extra friendly forum. You will be welcomed with open arms. The perfect place to learn and ask questions. Here is this weeks thread. kim's Kreative homework #32 After processing the image a couple of Ghostbone textures were added. Those are covered in previous post and I am sure we will work with some textur...

It is time to start the fall semester of kimi's Kreative homework . We call it a class because we feel like we are all learning from each other. Do you have a nice camera but your images aren't up to par. Maybe you are longing for the nice camera but still working off your point and shoot. It does not matter. You digital images will be changed forever if you come and join our class. And the best thing about it is FREE!!! I will post a new assignment every Tuesday. Some will be to improve your image quality, some will change your images into digital Art. Please come and register on the forum and participate in the class. The more the merrier! The first lesson of the fall semester has been posted. Hope to see you there!! kimi's Kreative homework #31 I will post some of our class images tomorrow. :) ~kimi~

Click on image for a bigger view. Here you go, as promised. For a limited time... I have included two different colors, one cream and one brown. If you want to change the color. Select the desired color as your foreground color. Go to edit, fill, pick the foreground color option in the drop down box and check the preserve transparency box. You can see I changed mine to white. ENJOY!! Oops, times up!! The image is my buddy Grace. She has officially become my unofficial model. A girl after my own heart. Now when she want to come over and visit, she tells me she wants to take a picture. LOL! I'm gonna start buying treats to keep here for her. I'm a firm believer in bribery! Have a good weekend everyone! :) ~kimi~

Well, we survived the hurricane!! The eye came right over my city. We never lost power and the house is fine. We are still sending prayers to the ones that weren't so lucky. My web site is starting to really look like a web site, so I can relax a little there. I still have some wording to add about session and fees. www.kimboustany.com But it will come together eventually. So it is time to try and get back to normal. :) First let me say... you may not see me again because my daughter will kill me when she sees I posted this picture of her on my blog. ARK!! I have been having issues with my images having way too much digital noise. I was reading on a blog about the differences of raw and jpeg images. One of the statements that were made said, raw image have way more digital noise than jpegs. I started thinking and the two coincided. I started shooting in raw and that is when I started dealing with the noise. So the day after the hurricane when we were all rung out and looking at our...
