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 18 of 30: Your Shoes

18|30

So yes, it has been quite a while since I last blogged.  Sorry for that. A trip out of the country, Thanksgiving, colds, etc. So let's get back to the blog.  I will finish out my challenge of 30 photos in 60 days... looking more like 90, but we'll shall see how it finishes out.

So today's topic is "Your Shoes" and like any typical young woman, I have a ton.  A ton.  I don't even know the exact number of shoes that I own, but I have two closets full.  My style of shoe varies depending upon the need, so I have flats, heels, boots, sandals, birkenstocks, flip flops, stilettos, and so on.  So today's image is one of my most recent purchases and a new personal favorite of mine.  It is a patent leather stiletto platform.... a truly gorgeous shoe.  So gorgeous, I had to do a collage of shots, just to give the shoe justice.
