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.

Photo 3 of 30: Clouds

3|30

Today's goal was to shoot clouds, and with the weather that the Chicagoland area has been receiving lately it also became a challenge to capture this image.  All gray skies would mean that you would get just a white photo and then there were moments of pure blue.  Where are my clouds?  When there was a spotty break, the clouds where racing across the sky and we were put under a wind advisory.  If you get a chance google Chicago's Lake Michigan and the wind and you can see an unfortunate bike rider get smacked with water as the waves rolled over onto the walking path (sometimes you just have to take a day off).  Back to the point, how successful would I be in this challenge?  Where are my clouds?  I was lucky to capture the mix of cloud patterns from barely a whisper to a clearer formation as you shall see in my image number three out of thirty!  Enjoy... Next up is "Something Green."
