Spotlight on Christina Hymes photography

.
The way things come together ...

We needed a better image for our yahoo! group site:
- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/better-life/

... an image representing something more positive than the "skinny piggy bank" of "economic anemia" we were using.

Rather than dwelling on a negativity "being anemic" we would all do better to focus on prosperity
- being or becoming prosperous.

I asked friend and member Christina, whose ability to capture images is unique and creative - someone whose talent I want to encourage - if she had anything appropriate for our site.

We rattled around a while, and I finally settled on the canoers because of what is represented in that image:

- exploring new challenges
- one generation teaching another
- being prepared
- teamwork
- taking risks
- managing risks
- determining direction


Another reason for changing the image on our group site was to have an actual agreement of permission to use the image.

Thank you, Christina !

She also now has her site link displayed with the image:
- http://www.freewebs.com/chymes
... where anyone can see some of her work and get in touch with her.

Chris discovered recently that images she had taken last year of actors in a local play were used by the play's producer on her myspace page :
- http://www.myspace.com/ogelue

... for a group known as:
- http://www.culturemoves101.org/

Even without her name in the credits on that page, it is more exposure for Chris' work, which we extend further by tying it all together here.

Keep up the good work, Christina !
