Self




I am sorry if people misunderstood the reasons why I closed my other blog. Well, I can understand, I was pretty upset yesterday...and I could have worded things better! ;) Mostly, I was sad that the people closest to me couldn't take the time to read it anymore...i.e. hubby being one of them! I just have so many things on my plate right now, that I had to let something go. I just don't want anyone being disappointed if I can't post...but part of my being busy has been very good. Business has been booming around here, and that means more photo goodness. Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE PHOTOS?

These are a sampling of my self portrait shoot. The second one is part of a research paper I am doing on Imogen Cunningham. We have to take some photographs and "bring our photographer forward". I hope that makes sense, there is a lot of mumbo jumbo to it, but this will suffice for now. Anyway, she took this portrait of a woman's hair and I just loved it, my take is not quite as astonishing, but I love it nonetheless.

I booked quite a few weddings in the past two weeks, so I had to make a few purchases in preparation. I got a new lens (really fun) and a new camera body as a backup. I am still working out the kinks and trying to understand the differences in metering between my oldie and my newbie, but for the most part I think I am getting the hang of it! I am really excited about the many changes happening in our lives, there was just a lot of stuff happening all at once, and I need it to slow down just a bit, which it will in another week for certain.

Hope that everyone knows I love them...and I will keep blogging, because I still need it, just maybe not as much!

  11. Kim,

    The pictures of you are so BEAUTIFUL! How did you do the first one?
    Also I visited the Imogen Cunningham site. Just to warn everyone there are nude pictures there which completely shocked me. I clicked out so fast my head spun!

  12. Oops, sorry Desirae...I really didn't look at what photos were on there because I have dial-up. I used it only for reference purposes, I should have warned everyone...she did A LOT of nudes...oops! ;)

But still, how did you know what you were taking a picture of??? They are wonderful! I can tell you love taking classes to enhance your talent-good for you! Where is your new house? Is it still in the valley? Later! ape
