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 was unhappy that I missed Bryce as I wanted to go there.when you got several people all with different ideas, not any different than your girls, it is hard to do what you want. next chance I will go by myself.stunning vista

That is so gorgeous with the lighting playing hopscotch among the canyon walls and crevices! A great POV, and fine clarity and colors in this magnificent capture, Kims!

Life is all about choices.... The planning for our summer holiday in the U.S. last year drove me nuts: what to see (and what not) in three weeks time!! Everyone (my wife, my 2 daughters and me) had a personal 'must see'-list. I'm afraid my list was too long, so unfortunately (and with pain in my heart) I had to forget about Bryce Canyon. Looking at this picture brings back the pain, because you captured this landscape so well!! But don't you underestimate me....I'll be back!!

lovers leap, nice shot!!

WOW!~ I will never say again that photographing at mid day is not the best time to get great images, you sure put that one out the window dear friend. Beautifully captured for mid day!

Stunning pic. I'd sit there all day.

This looks incredible for your pocket cam. Mainly, your framing with the tree limb across the top and the angle of the canyon is so veeeery strong. You are right, those late afternoon shots or morning light always ads more drama but this still looks incredible with the hard shadows. Zion is amazing, I'll have to hold my breath for those. . .
