Gosh.... no I haven't forgotten about y'all. =) I have been busy working on things for the shop. Our Camera Club is participating in an Art Walk here in town and I went with Grace and took this image today. I knew what I had in mind and I think it worked out well. I saw an image on Michelle Blacks blog and was trying to go for the same effect. The Phaunt Forum is having an "Out of the box" contest this month, they are encouraging us to go out and look at other Photographers work, to get inspired. I was!! Yes, parts of her face and arm are blown out. But in ART there are no rules. LOL! I am going to print it tomorrow to see how bad the blown out areas look. I kind think it lends itself to the feeling of the image. Edit: my friend Sunny called it (sun-kissed) I think that is a lovely term. :) I was really trying to achieve something that would evoke emotion. So take a look and give my some feedback. Is it good enough for an Art Walk image? {hugs everyone} ~kimi~

If you already have a reader. Please disregard most of this post. LOL! Let me say before I ramble on, these are all my own personal opinions. First, you should be using Firefox!!! Download Firefox here . It will import all of you bookmarks from Internet Explorer. Firefox will let you turn on color management so the images you post and the images you see are more true to life. To set up color management in Firefox: FireFox 3 can be colour managed . In other words, it can be made to recognize the different color spaces, i.e: sRGB and AdobeRGB and display them correctly. To set it for color management, in the address bar type about:config and hit enter . This will bring up a host of options that can be set manually. Scroll down to gfx.color_management.enabled. By default it is disabled . To enable it, simply double click it and restart FireFox. Now you get some kind of dire warning box when you go to make the change. Don't worry. You will be fine. Once you have Firefox downloaded ...

I have been busy working on Christmas card templates and paper packages. I am in the process of opening a small shop that will cater to limited commercial/personal use products.

So every month the Camera Club I belong to has a Photo Theme Challenge. This month it is "the wheel". I tried a few things that totally fell flat. One of the girls on The Phaunt forum posted some images of old cars that she had made into Art for her son's room. They were so cool! You take the inspiration where you can get it!! :-) Now my hubby had been saying that I should go and take pictures of this old car that was rusting out on the side of the road. Today I went. I passed by the car and it had no tires on it. Well, that is ok, our interpretation of the theme is very broad and I could still shoot where the wheel should be. I would give you that car parts name but truthfully, I have no idea what it is called. LOL! When I turned around to park behind it, I found tires. Yippee even better! Actually it had tires in the trunk and the inside of the car was gutted out and there where 3 tires in there also. Anyway, I took a bunch of shots. I know nothing about cars as you ca...

I did a newborn shoot and designed a card to go out for his Birth Announcements. It has been about 6 weeks so all of his announcements have made it to friends and family and I am not going to spoil any surprises by posting now. He is such a cutie!! Oh, the baby smell..... Here is Cameron, he was 6 days old. The Front It was designed to be a 5x7 card. This way the back was a large 5x7 photo that filled the card. Perfect for family to frame. The Back Of course with him as my model, how could they go wrong. I am busy booking shoots and working on designing some Christmas Cards. Hope you have a Happy Thursday! BTW... we are almost at 400 subscribers. Must be Freebie time? =) ~kimi~ A P.S. The lab I use for printing is White House Custom Color .
