I've always loved sand dollars. I remember when I was younger, if I found one washed up on the beach, I thought I was lucky! Your words are so true, Kim. Amazing that even when no longer alive, a beauty remains... it seems like a metaphor for a life well lived. Hopefully we will all leave a little beauty behind. :)
One of my favorite pieces of my own, was a starfish missing an arm, washed up on the shore. I felt sad, but it was really beautiful at the same time. And I snapped away, of course.
Texas born and raised, photographer Kimberly Clark finished her “starter life” and has embraced her dream of becoming a fine art photographer. She describes herself as a “noticer.” If it’s unique, quirky, touching or sublime it will catch her eye and fuel the storytelling inherent in her images. With the use of black and white, muted tones and essential elements in her photographs she cuts to the heart of what she feels is truest about her subject. “The camera doesn’t work like your eyes do. The camera sees all. Your eyes will focus solely on what drew your attention initially and all else falls away. I want to create that feeling in my images.” Recently overheard in the booth, “It’s like a photograph that looks like art.” This honest expression of appreciation appeals to Kim’s sense of fun and irony. “I’ll take it!”
