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!!)

Couldn't get any better than this. Excellent capture. Aloha

I could care less about what tree it might be - as long as the result is mindboggling beautiful as this. If your wedding photos are only half as good as this one - you will surely have one happy couple! This photo is truly masterful - a perfect composition.

Well little Missy, you sure have been missed here...look who's talking..I've been gone for over a month and have just straggled back myself. I see you haven't missed a beat with your shots...too bad the wedding couple couldn't have hung around a bit longer, this would have really been quite a shot with them in silhouette. But I'm sure you got some killer shots this day of them... Congrats on your wedding shots! Absolutely lovely shot here...much Aloha to you!

This is so beautiful Kim..have missed you much!!
lemonjim
gorgeous, and so sharp. ya know, ya might want to try HDR for this, bet the blacks would be full of luscious detail, just like your eyes saw. PhotoShop has some nifty tools and the free HDRShop, your eye, well... the mind reels.

Am happy to see an email notification that you've posted something - have been missing your fabulous photos, Kimarie!! ... This picture - gawd you actually did capture the full moon??? I thought it would of been painted in but no! Wow! The tree is lovely - I really love how it framed the image ... the colours! They're sooo lovely and you can see more of the colour on the water if not the sky! lots of kudos to you! :) Cheers, Tina

This stereotype is splendid. It corresponds exactly so that I felt your long abscence. Yes missed much you to me. Your subjects, your talent and your art, clarified so well here by this moonlight. I thought of all the problems which could succeed this great removal, with your new activities. And very very often, I thought that this splendid pink could not be a good-bye. Thank you Kimarie to have returned to us similar to you same. The head full with things to saying, but also by your eyes of talented things being shown. Thank you for your reappearance.

HEY YOU!!!! Long time no seen! Welcome back!!!!! Hope everything is okay with you and yours. #:o) What a beautiful scene this is. And you picked the perfect spot to take the shot as well....lol...that rhymes..sigh. I love how the branches are framing that moon. However i think it would have looked better without that added moon. Because it is added later on isnt it? Had it been a real moon its reflection would have been skewed and smeared across the watersurface just like the clouds are. Especially on a rippled surface like that one. About the Nikon...you should see if theres a cam-store where you can trade your Canon in for a Nikon if that is what you want. The D70 is indeed a wonderful camera. Have a wonderful day and try not to stay gone for too long. #:o)
