Black and White photography is one of the most iconic art forms you can create with a camera. It can be so elegant and truly simple, yet incredibly intricate all at the same time. This is why I love it so!! :)
This is one of my favorite escapes to just get out of town and find a nice, little breezy seaside town booming with all kinds of coastal life & gorgeous scenery!! :) Check out the slides below...
My heart has been so heavy with dread and compassion for the people of Japan ever since waking up last Friday morning to the news of their major earthquake and tsunami. Day by day the accounts of devastation and destruction to Japan's people & country have been rising steadily at an unbelievable rate leaving me with a terrible sense of helplessness.
So for what little I can do from California's central coast I'm writing this for ALL THE PEOPLE affected by the many tragedies in Japan. Know that so many families, churches and congregations in the WORLD are praying for your loved ones, your survival and your recovery through this unthinkable time of chaos and hardship. We can not even begin to imagine what you're going through and I don't dare say that we ever will. Please accept this note as a small token of our support, sorrow & regret for your time of crisis.
I'm located in Santa Barbara County photographing everything above and beyond Art and Lifestyle Images. If you would like to discuss a photo shoot, editorial assignment, or the latest in home decor fine art photographs please click here for my contact information.
I LOVE Photography! I LOVE Color! I LOVE Contrast! I LOVE Design!
That should come at no surprise from how I have been barraging you all with non stop streams of Photography! So I'm here to further share my passion of Photography and Design by presenting my two other PHOTO BLOGS on top of this one which was my first creation. Enjoy!
Sincerely, ~ Kimberly
There's nothing like bringing in the new year with some great outdoor photo shoots from the Beach to help bring summer on a little quicker! :) Go ahead and guess which set of these gorgeous, sunny portraits were taken only a month ago!!...........??
Catalina Island, one of the most wildly beautiful coastal destinations in the world and it's closer to home than you think! ;) That's why Ocean Sports Dive Shop of Lompoc, CA just planned a dive trip for fourteen very lucky divers getting the chance to dive in the world renown kelp forests of Catalina Island. To see some of those trip photographs
I know that I don't live on Kauai anymore and these are not all NEW IMAGES, but there are a few that I've tweaked and tinted and love just like creating new surf images. So here's the link to the 'NEW' and IMPROVED Surfing Kauai Gallery.
If you have any respect for or are a friend of animals, especially horses, then this photography slide show is for you! These images of Wild Horses rescued by the Return to Freedom American Wild Horse Sanctuary of Santa Barbara County, California will blow you away with their striking physical force and presence as the great wild beings we know them to be! But they will only be around as long as we help in the effort to save and protect their legacy and our own American Heritage that runs through their living ancient bloodlines. Please Enjoy the images and click on any one of them to view a larger photograph on my main website at KC Photography.
If you are ever in the Santa Barbara Area or even just near the Central Coast and you like Horses in any way, you need to stop by. It's an amazing education to learn about the horses in America that are still WILD and are being pushed off their land. These are horses that have been a part of our nation longer than we have been! They are amazing animals and deserve our help and protection! Please go to their website and read about it for yourself.
