Kimarie Chartier here- 43. I live in Canyon Country /Newhall area , Southern California. I have always been an artist . I started drawing at age two. My Mother said when I was a child I always had something to draw with in hand and I would cry when the paper ran out (LOL) ..I went to art school for a short while and have taught art to elementry school kids. I have done many oil paintings , pastels and watercolors , but recently , have been intrigued with digital photography and computer photo art in paint shop pro. now, I mainly work in Paint shop pro 7 and 11. I now also just beginning to work in ADobe photoshop cs2 ! I also am a full time Mom with three girls ( who are all over my gallery) Annie 16, Janel 13, and Christina 10. Between my parenting, photoshoots, Renderosity and playing in paint shop/ photoshop I keep very busy ! I also have a sweet, loving cocker spaniel named Candi who is very needy of much love and attention lol She goes with me on photoshoots-oh- 'cept when I am shooting birds haha cause she is a bird hunter by nature!!
 I LOVE any kind of art .like to draw and paint with basically anything I can get my hands on (LOL)!
I have fallen in love with photography
opening up light and dark and seeing the limitless possiblities! But I do still love to paint too!!  Works like Nightfears , came from nothing but my immagination -drawing/ painting with only a mouse paint and smudge tools from a blank page in paintshop 7. I started out with a Nikon 7900 pocket cam and am at the moment working in photography..now also have two other canon pocket cams a sl900
and sx 100is - mainly all my work in my gallery is done with my little pocket cams - they go with me everywhere and is an an extention of my right hand!! I have a canon rebel as well but it isnt working all that great so manly using the pocket cams for now . Learning..growing and sharing on here is the best!! I don't know what I would do without this site it has helped me learn so much..( this site motivates me so much ) I love it here ! yeah so I got the photography bug ..and I also love to do photo art...!! I, every now and then I will do a painting or a smudging as I call it.( you can see most of my smudge painting works hand done with a mouse on the first two pages of my gallery!!)

Cool shot Kimmers, and the postwork is really cool and add something very special to this shot... My son Ga who is here for a few days tell me :"she's dressed fetishist" LOL!! Really cool shot my friend !

Great chance -- and a great pic! I wish I had courage like yours to ask people. Reminded me of a "teach-uh" at first and I saw "Brook" and I thought of "Our Miss Brooks" (which really dates me) and it really got my attention.

Excellent "unplanned" portrait ! You are lucky to be a woman... this makes it more easy when you ask permission to shot a female model ! When I do, girls are always asking what I really want... lol ! Now I refer to my R'osity gallery but even so... You did a fantastic postwork and the frame fits perfectly... Sleep well, Kimmers ! :~) [I just love you little heart emoticon... can you teach me (by IM) how I could use the same "trick" to insert a real smiley ;-) ? thanks already ]

Marvellous B/W photography with a real fabulous light and shadow setting! I have to say your old 330 Kodak camera is still doing very very well! I love the wonderful quality of it! I agree with you the outfit of this beautiful young lady is fantastic! I'm sure she would like a copy of this splendid shot! You are a glorious photographer, Kimmie!!! BIG VOTE

Unexpected pictures are often the best ! Real done Kim, you made this girl become a RR star, shot by one of the most popular artist ! Congratulations... PS : 2 am ! My god, what's your secret ? I can't go later than midnight, even for RR ! Have a great day. Friendly, Olivier.

A most daring and bold Photographer you are! It is easy to see why she caught your artistic eye, quite the character indeed! :) Bravo!
Evandril

Kim, you missed an opportunity to make this part of the CD cover contest. It would have been called "These Boots areMade for Walking" by Nancy Sinatra...Remember it? Only a woan can get away with walking up to a girl. Us guy would be called PURVs (some of us are) LOL. Great capture.

A strange girl. Could almost have aposer fgace and those glasses, well....a great capture KM. "People are strange when you're a stranger."

That's an interesting look indeed!! I can see why u wanted to shoot her! ;)

Superb portrait Kimmers, very natural and sensual. Nice boots indeed... and some incredible glasses ! I like the composition and the atmosphere you made. About the film "March of the penguins"... I've just seen it in DVD 2 days ago... a wonder ! A very interesting report, and the level of photography in this film is very very good. I adore this sort of film. Have a nice day Kimmers. Hugs.
cbender

Excellent photo Kimmie....

I love the "Nancy Sinatra Boots" ... but I'm guessing those boots aren't made for walkin'. Excellent portrait ... it has a slice of life look to it. Great lighting and composition, Kimmers. V
diomedes66
Really excellent image Kimmers! The 'attitude' shows :-) Most outstanding!
romanceworks
THIS is a great shot of a very interesting girl. Those glasses give her a kind of studious look which is a fascinating contrast to her outfit. Love it! And your postwork really lets us focus on her. Reminds me of a young couple we saw on a recent outing to a place called Hudson Gardens - amongst this gorgeous garden setting of blossoms and lakes and all things natural was this guy and girl who were all dressed in black - she in tons of dark makeup and fishnet stockings and boots up to her thighs - he in black leather on a hot summer day - holding hands - enjoying all the natural beauty. Wish I had been like you and asked them if I could take their pic. :o) CC

If anyone asked me for my phot i'd run a mile lol! I wouldn't have the nerve to ask either. But this is how you get your fantastic shots. You must be so friendly and outgoing. I sense it anyway. Super shot V Cathy xoxoxo

Syltermermaid
She is not just Miss Universe, LOl but she looks very sexy also if she has the habit more to look over her glasses than through it, what remind me at a teacher in my secondary class, we called her "Miss Double eyes", LOL!!! You did it again you had your camera just right time, right place!!! Excellent Kimmie!!! I love it!!!
