Hello,
    I am a photographer, I love taking pictures.
    I am currently in a relationship in which I am incouraged to be myself. The concept of my ideas and desires being supported came hard to me. This actually took me years to grasp, but he says I am his butterfly and just starting to spread my wings.
   Any and all comments are encouraged as well as suggestions too. Thank you for the comments you leave as well as suggestions. I will try to find interesting photo opportunities so that I can give you wonderful pictures to view.

Update: 06-20-09
       I have found another family on Renderosity. All the people here are just incredible. Things are starting to change in a really positive direction for me. I am currently starting to do portraits, and am thinking about making this my full time position. One day I hope to tell my boss to jump in the lake. I think having a career that I love and can be proud of is now my goal.
Clarification 09-20-09
 I do portraits for family members and friends. I don't charge them because I need someone to practice with.
  Well I think I found something that I can be proud of. Not in photography, but in sales. I am my own boss. I can never be fired or laid off. I sell stuff I use and love. So I know I can stand behind it. Just need to build my customer base. Once I do, I will just do this and only this.
       Friends Always,
                            Cheri

Thank you very much, Cheri, for this excellent picture, poem, and dedication. I'm sure that this will touch the lives of our friends here who have lost loved ones recently.

I ask that you all please check out this link Cheri provided, especially if you aren't familiar with the tale. I hate funerals!!! There is nothing one can say, no magical words for the dear friend or family, that can possibly ease their pain. Our presence is merely to honor those that have passed, and acknowledge the impact they had made on our lives. "The water bugs and dragonflies" surpasses that, its intent was to explain death for children, opening their hearts and minds to the change that has just taken place, helping them to understand and accept this part of life we all have to endure and deal with, for death is just as much a part of life, as living. Doris Stickney has found the magical words that actually comfort......I am grateful to her. I love your poem sweetie, placed so aptly with this beautiful photo. It's portrayed so wonderfully, and as so many of my family are now also fans of your work, I know they will greatly appreciate this!!

I am very impressed with your poem, and please share more. You may have tried to do this as a collage with your photo in one place and poem of to the side in another square and an added background or color. Since the photo itself really had no open background to place the poem. Or make a mask with the photo and place the poem off to the side. Just a suggestion. If you would like me to show you an example of what I mean site mail me, would be happy to help. I tried to get a photo of a dragon fly last weekend, I got a few nice ones but they wore me out by moving around constantly lol.

Ah Cheri, this is most grand! I look forward to seeing more of your writing. Love the image, would make a fine greeting card! Another suggestion, I sometimes outline the words with black and sometimes add the text a few times to get the right shade. Going in my favs! And thank you again for the lovely words you left on Bitty Baby!!!

A beautiful poem (somehow beautiful isn't the right word, it is more) with lovely sentiments. The picture goes with the poem wonderfully. To loose a brother is heartbreaking but to loose two, & then a father. I haven't the words. Thankyou for this lovely poem.
