Hello!
I have neglected my blog! I have not had a posting since April! Not a good thing, but I have been busy with building up my photography and we had an excellent art show at work in May!
I revamped my pages as well, removed a few tabs in addition to adding new photographs to my photography tab! Check out some of my new work!
I will be photographing a wedding on June 25th and will be busy shortly thereafter working on those images!
Hope everyone has had a wonderful start to the summer season and is out enjoying the beautiful blue skies and lovely clouds that I have been seeing out lately!
If you are interested as well, I have added a page to Facebook (www.facebook.com/closeupbykym) Check it out when you have a moment, click like and pass the word on!
Have a wonderful evening!
~Peace~

Little Girl Softball T-Shirt Logo
Just a little side project that I did this week! The sketch is something that I drew up last night for a little girls softball league. With the help from my good friend with his illustrator program, my sketch became a true illustrated outline to screen print onto a softball jersey!
I love designing! Have a wonderful rest of the week!

Open Window
The cool spring breeze through the open window
is like a long forgotten soft caress across my left cheek.
I lay my head upon my hands and watch my daughter ride
her bike back and forth in the street below.
The soft wind carries her beyond her small world below the open
window as she stands up on her bike and pushes her pedals as fast as she can go.
I see the clouds billowing out, beckoning my dreams to climb upon them and rest.
The curiosity of our four legged companion reminds me that miracles come in small doses
as I unhook her from her leash to explore the world below that open window.
A smile slowly spreads across my face as I watch my world blooming below the open window.
I am reminded of how much I am blessed of the small stuff that makes the world below
my open window feel so sweet as a soft caress.

Winter of Blue
Blue Winter by Robert Francis

Winter uses all the blues there are.
One shade of blue for water, one for ice,
Another blue for shadows over snow.
The clear or cloudy sky uses blue twice-
Both different blues. And hills row after row
Are colored blue according to how for.
You know the bluejay's double-blur device
Shows best when there are no green leaves to show.
And Sirius is a winterbluegreen star.
One shade of blue for water, one for ice,
Another blue for shadows over snow.
The clear or cloudy sky uses blue twice-
Both different blues. And hills row after row
Are colored blue according to how for.
You know the bluejay's double-blur device
Shows best when there are no green leaves to show.
And Sirius is a winterbluegreen star.

AIRPLANES and Russell Simmons Hip/Pop Challenge
Last Friday night along with a few members of AIRPLANE, I found out that they were chosen for this challenge on MySpace by Russell Simmons himself.
The group has made it to Number FOUR so far after efforts by the entire group asking for Votes from everyone they know on their facebook and myspace pages!
If you have a moment, please visit the link by clicking on the image above and VOTE as many times as you can!
The curlyheaded, blonde young man is my oldest and I am quite proud of him and all the members of this group of fine, young musicians! I hope that they finally get the footing they deserve and see their dreams become reality!

Walter Clark~If I had to choose!
The past month has been a bit of isolation for me due to the fact that I somehow contracted impetigo on my left eye and in my left ear! I have recovered quite nicely and starting to feel quite lovely again thanks to my wonderful Doc!
Today I went to the local grocery store to pick up a few meager items due to financial strain and while I was walking down the aisle trying to decide what I could afford and becoming more frustrated with my situation, I passed this older man whom was humming so sweetly and had this beautiful smile on his face. I stopped a few feet away from this gentleman to pick up a couple boxes and heard him again, but this time I really listened. His humming caused a sweet memory of my grandfather to float across my muddled brain. I proceeded to walk away, but stopped short, turned around and approached this man. I could not help myself, I just had to know what he was humming. I interrupted kindly and asked him what song he was humming. He smiled so sweetly at me, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows, at my age of 88, it could be anything!" He then laughed and smiled at me. I told him that he just reminded me of my grandfather and I thanked him for giving me that memory again.
As I walked off, I started feeling a little lighter of all my burdens of the day, and had this huge smile plastered across my face. I continued to shop, and as I went by this gentleman again, he stopped me. He told me that he finally remembered what he was humming. He said that it was a song he had written. I was astonished by his answer, and asked him if he was a musician. He told me no, but that he did like to write songs and poetry. He told me that name of the song was "If I must choose", and then sang a few bars of the song (at which he told me to forgive him for he was no great singer, but what I disagree because I heard something beautiful, something being sung from the soul!). He also told me that it was his wife's favorite song. Needless to say, I made a new friend there in the store. We spent the next half hour talking about his wife, jobs, and children. I found out that he may have worked and known my great Uncle! How small of a world, eh?
He told me how he got his wife to accept his marriage proposal! She turned him down and told him that she would never marry him, even if he was the last man on earth! They then went there separate ways to work in two different states while corresponding by letters for a year. He told me that after a year of writing, he finally had enough and decided he did not want to do that anymore. So he sent her a letter that ended with "I am tired of writing everyday, either marry me or leave me alone!" Well, he said the letter took about a week to reach her and he was still receiving letters from her, so he continued responding. When he finally received a letter from her saying that she would marry him, he quit his job that day to go be with her! I love hearing stories like that! This fine gentleman talked to me with the sweetest smile and treated me so kindly. He made me feel like I was a million bucks!
So, the next time you are out and about and feeling like the whole world is against you, remember to stop and look around for you never know what you might miss! I am glad that I listened to this man's humming, for it made my spot in the world a little better place to be in! I hope that at 88, I am still singing and dancing along in life just like him! Thank you Walter Clark for your kindness, happiness, and just being you!
