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!!)

Wow, I capture red dots, you capture red landscapes with balancing dots! :) Great find of this practising lady, and she does well, something very special in this red fire valley! Incredible, I keep staring but she's in perfect balance! I guess she will hold this pose until RR goes down LOL! Fantastic work, Kimmers!

ps i was asked by someone if this was girl pasted in . I swear on my life -it is not!!-- strait shot! just cloned her finger beyond the black frame and i had cut it off...

I was touched by the intro, and you make me feel doubly blessed. Lori and I share the hobby of photography, so our trips are excursions of delight and mutual discovery. At night we download and compare, and amazingly, our shots are so different. What I find facinating about yours is the diversity, not only of subject, but of presentation, of mood, of style. Extraordinary!

Reamarkable events unfold for you KM as it should be.

The Dancer Pose. I used to be able to achieve this, usually in the Village Hall, not on a rock. Love the colours of the rocks.

maybe she seen you coming and decided to show off for the lady with a camera in hand!! I try to go alone for that very reason to do the scenery. portraits and impressive scenery takes away from the subject of the portrait and vice versa. beautiful capture Kimarie

Excellent!! What a beautiful lady and shot!

this is really a cool shot, Kimmers! nice clarity...shows the beauty of the rocks wonderfully! the girl being there is an extra bonus! amazed that she doesn't tip over and fall! LOL! it's been a long time since i've been out west, Kimmers. are the rocks that red? i bet they are! extraordinary! i do notice a bit of a red cast on the lady's face and arms. wonder if that's a reflection from the rocks? you might try automatic color balance and check "remove color cast" to see if that helps her skin tones. if it change the look of the entire image, you could always try working with the color tones selectively. you did a fantastic job shooting this! sounds like the balancing act in your personal life is pretty tricky. kemal and i don't have kids and we always go out shooting together, so i don't have that issue. i wish you all the best, kimmers! i'm not a mom and i have all the respect in the world for those of you who have kids!! take care sweetie, and excellent shooting! :)

What a capture! Not everyday you get someone balancing on a rock like this! What balance ... sure wouldn't try it myself, lol. Love the textures of the rock and the colour :)
BBarbs
Great shot !!! WOw, you would not find me posing on the edge of some redrock like that. lol. I surely would fall off. You were very lucky to stumble across this person doing Yoga. Very cool. Truly a Kodak moment. I am continually amazed at how much Nevada looks like New Mexico. WOW. Red Rocks and vegetation and mountains are so similar. Thanks for sharing this. Super work !!!

"valley of the fire was difficult to shoot because it seemed like my family didnt want me to spend time doing photography ..." Oh, this sounds soooooooooo familiar and is the tidal war of family emotions!! How can you do great work with all that whining going on LOL!!
kenmo

Valentin

ModestyB
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't help but think maybe you met an angel in this remote location. What a strange chance meeting! You insight into balance is quite impressive. This appears to have been one of those experiential adventures that may have many levels to explore. Beautiful capture and seems to me a very special one.
silverhalide
Now that was truly a strange way to meet someone! Almost kinda glad you took off like that, now be careful...
