BURSTING about 2bbb



where to start ... where to start ...

i am SO excited about this news, i just don't know where to start!

well ...

over the years, i have toted my little fujifilm camera (you know, one of those little digital jobs that has no bells and whistles ... the zoom lens doesn't even work) ...

anyways, i have had it in hand every day of every season as i find myself needing - REALLY needing to capture the immense beauty that i find in the everyday around me ... the colours ... the light ... god's and mother nature's work at it's finest ...

the images are simply how i spy the beauty with my little eye ...

i didn't really have a purpose in mind in taking all these images ... it is something i needed to do ...

and besides, my life has been full with my graphic design and marketing work ...

i have always hoped i would find a purpose for all this picture taking ... some day ...

meanwhile, my creative kindred-spirit-friend kim klassen, who lives down-the-road in town, has been so successful in her primitive folk art and sign paintings ...

many times we have shared our creativity back and forth via emails ... she would send me her latest creation for input ... i would send her something i was working on ... and so it would go ...

recently, kim picked up her camera and found an immediate bond and desire to create photo art ...

which, of course, inspired me to delve into MORE picture taking ...

oh-oh obsessed!

sharing our images and our techniques via email just wasn't enough, so we began sharing 'thru the screen' on skype!

kim in her studio, and i in mine, we would literally see each other's screens ... sharing photoshop techniques ... playing with layers and textures ... mind blowing and WAY too much fun!

then one day, the idea came to us ... why don't we share what we are sharing with each other with our friends in blogland?

and so it came to be ... a collective blog about two friends on a creative journey ...

as kim so nicely puts it ... a journal of our conversations, sharing our blessings and love for the simple beauty of life thru images ...

taking images ... thoughtful and artful ... in our little corner of the world ...

and sharing with you ... and beyond ...
