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!!)

Been staring at this now for the last 5 minutes or so...and there is something about it that is absolutely hypnotic! Love the line and shadow here and how the light breaks through, framing that wonderful splash of green leaves. I find this image very peaceful and calming. I think you've done a marvelous capture here. Thank-you for sharing it! VOTE

i can't stop staring at this, Kimmers! What's not to LOVE about this!!!!???? POV is OUTSTANDING and just makes this shot! and the lighting....sigh I feel like i'm in space spinning or something. and i feel like i looking at a world within a world. those trees in the background...i look at them and think of a portal to another world. you have to tell me where this plant was. is that a cardboard box of some kind it's in...a special kind of box for transporting it from the nursery to home? is this a drain and the plant is growing there? a tunnel? wherever and whatever...it's a helluva a capture and you dedicated it to one of my favorite artists!!!! His work IS incredible and he's opened my eyes too!!!!! high 5s girlfriend!!!!!! Awesome capture!
kimariehere
okay to answer Shelia's question... t This was taken at the LOS ANGELES zoo... lol i didnt even get it in my head to begin to take pictures of caged animals- too many cool plants and trees and light everywhere...hard to explain but that was the first day i opened my eyes to a whole new world OF LIGHT... and it was like i was a child again (that was the same day i took the giving tree and the bird of paridice dreaming of flight shots...somehow that day was JUST MAGICAL!! .... this is one of those animal behind glass places athat had a center i was on the ground lookin' up at the top of the roof center... of it... i didn't care to see the sad animals all boxed in i wanted to see light happening( i think my family wanted to put me behind caged bars that day HAHAHA...) .. at the top of this centered opening -the white thingy wasnt a cardboard box but a rain-gutter ( i believe-lol- scracthes head) and that green plant is growing from the bottom floor up its reaching up to be kissed by the sun... poor little plant was surrounded by cement and to me, it held itself up with great pride and beauty but more beautiful- was the light that gave to it.. hope that explains the setting a bit more...

Simple is often the most effective in that to work it need be straight and true. I fine dedication to Eric.

CameraObscura
A change of perspective does wonders. Our eyes are mostly fixed at a horizontal level and not checking often enough for that which is bellow our feet, but especially what lies above our heads. Nice didicatoin to Eric whos nightime photography has opeened many eyes.
