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.
   Cheri
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

Wonderful use of a variety of photos, and botched photos are the best for setting the mood with a background. Wonderful, and imaginative.

This is a wonderful collage, Cheri...and it's evoking a lot of the season that I thought was lost. I'm feeling a bit pinched and weird, but seeing that little bearded guy reminded me of Ded Moroz, "Father Frost" in Russian. I just received holiday greetings from Russian (and only half of those greetings were in English) so seeing Father Frost really brings some feelings home for me. I'm glad to see this and I'm glad we had the chance to meet in person...the first time out of many! This is gorgeous work, and I'm glad I saw it!

A beautiful collection. I bet you'll be glad to see 2009 in your rearview mirror. Just take some time for yourself to enjoy your blessings and the season. All the best to you and Dave for the new year.

You have obviously learned Andrea's lesson well. As somewhat less than perfect photo is an opportunity in the making. What a beautiful background you made! I Love seeing your treasures! They are beautiful and wonderfully captured! Take care of yourself and have fun this Christmas!

I've learned not to dump botched shots, they always come in handy for something! You make excellent use of them. I like how it's the background for the montage, it's so Christmassy! Wonderful shots of favorite things, makes it all so much more special. Sometimes I think that Christmas when times are tough are so much better then the ones when everything is going well. Everyone is so much more appreciative, and so much closer and so much more helpful. Hope your Christmas was Fabulous despite the hard times. I know it was because you have the kind of spirit that makes it so.

Cheri, I'm finally returning to comments today, and I'll be doing it for the next few. Right now I'm just doing one per gallery so I can say Happy New Year and hope everyone will know I've not forgotten them. I'll see more of your work after the 1st...But for now, I picked this because it feels like something you do so well: Make beauty out of so many different things---even a 'botched' tree shot! (I'm just starting to photograph: You want botches? I got botches. I'll pay you to take them off my hands!) Not only is each shot filled with light & beauty, but they're of such beautiful things, pieces of your life. You do these montages very well, Cheri, it's not an easy art & you seem wholly at home with them. A beautiful holiday montage. I wish you & Dave & all those you love a wonderful New Year, and hope your Christmas was beautiful too. And I hope your health & spirit soar next year, to make up for the battles & everything else from this year. I'll be back, but I wanted to send you my very best now. Great New Year to you both, and I wish you gobs of inspiration!
