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!!)

I remember comming across one of these fellows when I use to comb the hillsides of San Bernadino, and as I recall they were not that little - close to 5ft, and it was streached out sunninf itself. I don't remember which one of us ran the fastest! :) Awesome shots Kimmers! Bravo!
Gwyn Tyger

Chaos911

I love snakes and love your snake photography! A real spectacular series, Kimmers!!! I also think that it is a corn snake! Most of the poison snakes have elliptical pupils - BUT not all! The tail looks dangerous to me!!! A real gorgeous taken animal photography! Congratulation for it! Even if it's not a poison one - you are a brave woman!!! Bravo!!! VOTE
erlandpil

sharky_

cynlee
what a mouthful! see you got the multi-imaged presentation figured out.. good for you.. fine set of shots ;]
Onslow
Nice captures but they have suffered a lot from compression due to the size of this - the ones in the forum were better quality. Nice shots all the same :)
nathalie06
That's a very lovely smile !!!!! Superbs shots Kimmers ! And with this guy, it's better to stay in a respectable distance.... lol ! V
byron7
Excuse me but this blurring gives the right quality to this picture. The other two are similar to what a documentary photographer will do. This one has the artistic flavour which distinguish it. Beautiful work ( And I imagine that it must left you a bitter taste as it is common when we confront a potentially lethal creature).
RodolfoCiminelli
Impressive macrophotos series.....!!!! Excellent shots.......!!!!

Niccccccccccccceeee presssssssentation Kimmersssssss. Do you speak Parsel tonge like Harry Potter? Lol You'll know it's a corn snake if you put him in the microwave for three minutes and come out with popcorn...lol
