just wanted to share a quick post to let everyone know that my work is still being featured at the Ellair & Studio gallery downtown charlevoix through this thursday! more items will be added to the collection today, and just to let you know how pretty they are, here’s a few praises i received from the canvas printing company this morning!

Hi Kimberly,

Just a quick note to let you know photographers like you make our job here at Simply Canvas very exciting. I wanted to take time to say “WOW!” The image of the pier is such a beautiful image. The leading lines into the ocean has such a calming effect and I love the golden hues to this image. You really caught the magical hour not only on this one, but on the whole order. The sunsets you photographed are so breathtaking!

We truly appreciate your business, and I look forward to seeing many more beautiful images from Always Photographic! Keep up the outstanding work!

Best,

Adam Fried CEO

pass the positive!

admin — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 18:36:28 +0000

since july, i’ve had the privilege of working part-time for Dr. Rick Randall at Randall Chiropractic in Charlevoix. Dr. Randall is not only a fantastic chiropractor, but also a man of Good Words (be sure to ask him about this) and positivity! Pass the Positive is a product line he created to encourage people to do just that – pass the positive! The line offers bracelets and sweatshirts, all offered in hip colors. Sweatshirts may be purchased at Randall Chiropractic and Harbor Wear in Charlevoix, MI. For additional information and ordering, visit the Pass the Positive website!

What is Pass the Positive, you wonder? Keep reading!

“Pass the Positive was established in order to create and distribute positive, motivational products. Motivational products – including Pass the Positive bracelets and cool hoodies – which generate a momentum towards positive thinking. That shift to positive thinking, in turn, creates good energy and seeds of hope.

The definition of hope is “a positive expectation.” And when you mix seeds of hope (filled with positive expectations) with positive beliefs, you have the perfect recipe for a better life experience – for both you and those around you.

Of course, thinking positive all the time isn’t easy and reminders are sometimes helpful. Reminders that there are always more positive than negative things in our lives – and our happiness depends upon which we choose to think about and concentrate on. Pass the Positive’s bracelets and cool hoodies are great ways to remind both you – and those you care about – to get back on the positive side of life.

Choose wisely. Choose to think positive. And pass it on!”

the photo below was taken at our work Christmas party – what a positive looking group!
