Morning Walk Photo Dreams

I am a pretty good photographer.


In fact, I have taken some photos that blow me away,


and that I am really proud of.

I think it comes from walking through life with that artist's eye.


That is something I am grateful for every single day.

Sometimes I see things and immediately think what I could do with them in a collage or painting.





Or if I knew more about Photoshop and Digital Photo Manipulation.


Maybe with some good lessons from a pro like Susan Tuttle

I could consistently create the dreamy, moody, soft, prvocative, eye-catching kind of photos

that I see in my artist's mind...

Honestly ?
I need a lot of help.
And it just so happens that Susan's brand new book, Digital Expressions, is available on Amazon
and looks like just the thing I need to get me creating art in a whole new way.

Plus the Computer Geek Hubby, who took Susan's Digital Manipulation On-line Class and raved

about it, would love to have the book as well.

And guess what ?

Susan is offering a giveaway of the new book on her blog right now!

Maybe I will be lucky enough to win the book,

and if not, David is a Daddy to some furry kids and he should get a Father's Day giftie too, don't you think ?

Here's to always looking at the world with fresh eyes.

Happy Friday, Beautiful Ones !

  9. Always love your pics here Kim and these one's are beautiful. Your Artist's eye is a powerful one!

    The book looks very illuminating - maybe you could buy two so you won't have a tug-o-war with it with your hub :)

  12. You do take wonderful photographs and there were plenty of photos in this post to prove that. I hope you win the book, or at least it comes to live at your house so you can borrow it.

    I still can't believe I got all those Golden products for almost nothing. I am used to buying them one at a time with a coupon.
