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!!)

Looks good to me, so far your ahead of me on the flowing water fx! Great comp.

I don't really know much about photography or cameras, lenses, and exposure times, but this is truly spectacular!! It's like all the natural elements were perfectly placed for this shot, it's just that perfect! The motion of the water is captured wonderfully and what a serene scene this must have been!! Excellent image!!

Proof that hard work pays off is evident. Crisp foliage, textured rocks and flowing water make such a lovely waterfall picture. I sympathize with the broken camera delima. I gave in to desire and just today put a Nikon 7900 on the credit card lol. No kids but me in this home. Hang tough. Time or desire will get you there.

Well sis This is truly beautiful.... I absolutely love it and I think you have done a teriffic job here Bravo Vote n hugs Susan~

You know for the first time and an old broken Kodak this is one heck of a picture. I hope you can find a few more out of this weekends shots like this one. Kimmers, you can make gold out of anything..I don't think you could have gotten a better shot with any camera. Your birthdays in a few weeks, maybe your hubby has something up his sleeve??? If not well have a fund raiser here at RR ..wouldn't that be cool..hang in there girl..something good is bound to happen for you. =)

Waste of time my butt! Don't worry about your camera, you have the eye and talent and that's what is needed. Even with this camera you have captured the essence of this little falls, and that's what really matters here. I like it alot, in time you will get a new camera, no more crying your doing just fine with this one...Aloha to you Kimmers!
