About The Artist.... Simone Hester

Simone Hester was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised on the far south side of the city. She found an interest in art at an early age. At the recommendation of her teachers, she began private art lessons at a small art studio in the suburbs of Chicago. She was tutored, mentored and exposed to a variety of art mediums from calligraphy, etching, Chinese watercolors, acryllics, and oil painting. There she developed a love for drawing and painting. She broadened her art education by taking a variety of elective art classes in high school and college. Upon college graduation, her first professional position allowed her to work in graphic designs and further her knowledge of computers. Once given a digital camera, she combined her love of computers, painting, and photographs to develop her very own technique in creative digital photography. The computer has become her paintbrush and allows her to stretch the natural boundaries that a typical photograph is held to. She recently left the traditional workforce to work on her art full time and contribute to her website (http://www.simonehester.com/) and write her blog on photography, art, and everything else she finds creative.

My new 35mm Lens....

My Mother's Day gift was a lovely compact 35mm Nikkor Lens, ideal for capturing portraits and works great in low light situations.  I have played and shot with the lens and it is a true gem.  I must say that it is taking some adjustment for I am use to my variable lens by Tamron 18-270 and keep putting my hand up to focus.  But finally, my mind has overcome my physical reaction and response and I have been able to get out take some magic shots.  Lots of them have been nature seeing that we are immersed in the beauty of Spring as nature awakes and prepares for summer.  So the point of this blog entry? To tell you to grab your camera, phone, camcorder and get out and shoot some pictures.  We can not turn back the clock on time and can only freeze it with the use of all of our devices.
