Description
Taken with my old camera - my kodac 330 ..This is of Chrissy last night in Venice beach Calfornia... I had just bought her this red-orange pail and was in shock that it cost 6 dollers.(.but the nice store lady said it was a good quality not cheap like at the 99 cents stores) lol...
SO- last night was fun ~! OH I took so many personality shots..._~! (kids think i am crazier now than ever - caught a couple making out in the sand - LOL)
After having a very spiritual experiance in a big beach circle in the sand of drummers creshendo-ing and dancers whirling and spinning, I had noticed the sun was about to go down and knew that light is best then so I looked up and smiled then ran hard to the waters edge... and it got so beautiful
..got the light I wanted,..squatted down, AND then something happened!.
HAHA
Chrissy didn't care about my picture, or about the lighting, or the sunset- she only knew that there were shells THAT HAD TO be found.. SO when I had the perfect shot JUST right -I peek through the lens ...sigh
there she is ...in the middle of my picture!!
I thought oh well there goes that one and shot anyway. When I got home I looked at all my shots and LOVED this the most... hehe .
Isn't photography a funny thing?
You are trying for something ... then something else just "happens" and sometimes that something is the best!... I love this shot so much and now feel bad that I didnt want her in it ... just that she has a way of getting in...haha!!..
Anyways, went down to get my camera last night in Venice This camera store had a Mothers Day special for Moms - and so bought a Nikon 7900 on sale with no tax and a free Epson printer and trypod all for $399- yaay YIPPEE ( you probally wont see it for a while cause I have like a hundred shots taken with my old to put up..
- was a bit dissapointed that I couldn't just stick the batterys in that it had to be re-charged and so had to use my old cam..i think its a good thing - just couldnt use it last night.
I know I said I would get around to the Vagas shots but nothing I plan works out - lol I am the most spontanious person you can imagine ..oh yes on that note - almost all of my photography is not posed or planned- its like everything in my life it just happens...I never plan it cause it will happen anyway I feel ... LOL
_"life is what happens when your planning something else..."
uhm . LOL I like the unexpected like it that way :O)
Have a great evening or day whatever it there..! will try and catch up with comments later my daughter Nell is sick and I have five hamster cages to clean out.. (hamster hell continues) ... LOL
love ya all~~~!!!
Kimmers~! ♥

Love the colors and spontaneous capture of your daughter with that RED pail...this is a keeper for sure! []/;^)
How utterly gorgeous! I love the way that the sunset seems to illuminate the red color of the pail. This shot is worth the six dollars, I think. BTW, lucky you to find such a great deal on the camera and accessories! How lucky can you get in one day, huh?
OUTSTANDING KIMMER!!
Dear Kimmarie, another gorgeous photo. I love the sunset, the watet, and the red bucket as an accet! I don't think the camera makes the difference - you make the difference. Hope Nell gets well quickly and that the hamster chores end soon. Excellent work!! Love, Meredith
Oh my gosh...that IS beautiful. A photo like this warms your heart and makes you forget Hamster Hell for a bit, eh? LOL You should frame this for your wall. It's fabulous. :0) and V
The more that happens to you ..the more you'll recognize those instances as a higher art than what you intellectually plan or think too much about. Your talent for shooting by using your unconcious artist and your intuition will only get better. Your picture was taken several years before my comment. It seeems in your current work you've allowed more of your inner shooter to capture things that are fleeting, prescious moments that would have much less quality if staged.
