Kim, I took B & W in college some 20+ years ago & LOVED it! There is something wonderful about watching the image develop before your eyes! I bet you could pick up an old film camera on craig's list or a used camera store. I hope you are able to try it- it is so much fun! I would take a class again... but I seem to involved w/ clay at the moment! :) creativity in any form is so wonderful!
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!”
sounds like the story of my life, LOL.
ReplyDeleteseriously though, lovely photo kim- enjoying the b & w.
Thanks Becky-
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about the b&w class. I've never done any dark room work and no longer have a film camera so that might not work out.
Bravo, Kim!!! Love the photograph and the short poem that goes with it. Have a great weekend.
