thanks for visiting!

learning curve

i have just recently upgraded my toy considerably (from my one-and-only digital p&s canon a80, c. 2005, r.i.p.), to a bouncing new nikon d5000. am still very much in the throes of learning the ropes – hope i can even remotely do justice.

i am enthralled and inspired by contrast, texture, color, elements, composition and design – and consider myself an active imaginist. (note: that means i make stuff up :-)

to that end, for me, much of this imagining is done through post-processing. if you see something in my stream that is over-processed – wait, make that when you see something that is over-processed – just know that i know that it is. likely, because i applied zealous measures to redirect attention from how grainy or poor my shot probably was. ;-p)

plus, in truth… I like to play. it's fun.

so give a wa*hoo! for imagination –
and a double-wa*hoo! for software :-)

an echo in so much space

*~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~*
some subjects in ordinary realm, may be considered ‘everyday’ – and go unnoticed or under-appreciated. discovering their potential to be extraordinary, is joy.

everyday wonder© is a collection of my own original, digitally remastered art photography that capture a whimsical and playful way of envisioning the world. i sell everyday wonder© photo notecards and framed artwork in regional retail shops, local art gallery, art fairs and by commissioned design.

my tagline “in the eye of the beholder” – and that is exactly what I have always truly believed.
* you say tomato... i say tomatillo! *

*~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~*
looking forward to meeting and greeting many more of you. I’ve truly enjoyed the experience of connecting with brilliant souls, and forming friendships through creative expression and mutual appreciation with individuals that share so generously of themselves through their vision, talent, adventures, and life along the way.

cheers!

    "My testimonial is way overdue to this lovely friend. I'm not good at writing these but want to let others know just how lucky they are to have found this photstream and extremely talented person.
    The photographic journey she is taking is fabulous ~ not stuck in a rut, she is constantly trying new things in her photography, from subject matter to processing techniques, mostly with a huge amount of success I feel !! Her skill level has gone beyond that which she thinks I'm at ! (Of course I cannot tell her these things, so please keep it a secret.LOL
    Her enthusiasm, zest for life, wicked sense of humor and generosity are awesome. Her knowledge and control of her media leaves me speechless at times.She is one of my favorite contacts. I always enjoy her wonderful comments and support.
    Most of all THANKS for your friendship. Am looking forward to your inspirations to all of us, my dear friend. :)"

    "If you are lucky enough to know pink*tootoo~ you will know exactly what I'm talking about. She is an exceptional person, who takes the time to comment on your pictures straight from her heart. Pink*tootoo~'s glass is always half-full. Positive energy radiates from her and her wonderful photo stream. She often turns the ordinary in to the extraordinary. I consider my self very lucky to have met her, she inspire me to be a better person, as we have been getting to know each other. = )"
