In order for you to trust me with something as precious as photographs of your life, I feel it is important for you to know what makes me who I am and how I came to be this way. First of all, I am who I am today because I met the right person to bring this version of Kimberly up to the surface. That person would be my husband, Bob. He is an extension of myself in every way. He is my second set of eyes, my light holder, my location scout, my business partner, my voice of reason when I get lost and discombobulated (there is a reason "bob" is in the center of that word!) and my source of entertainment! We share passions for photography, music, architecture, history, furniture restoration and life!
I think like most people, I spent my very early adult years (pre Bob) trying to be like everyone else. We all get caught up in fashions, trends and as they say "keeping up with the Joneses". But somewhere in my late 20's I became unappreciative of being like everyone else. It started with my choice of music. I hated what I was hearing on the radio and started seeking out something with more meaning. I became so obsessed with it that I immersed myself in the regional honky tonk scene of country music. It was refreshing, pure, honest and unique. I studied every aspect of the music I could and the next thing you know I am fronting a band of my own, traveling all over the world and the United States performing. I had become an artist. Little did I know what that would mean for my future. Music brought me to Bob and a renewal of spirit and a new direction with my goals and dreams. A better direction.
One thing that has never changed about me is my inability to accept the word no. So many times in my life I have done things simply because someone told me I couldn't or worse, that I shouldn't. My sense of determination becomes over powering sometimes - to the point that the angel/devil on my shoulder rolls their eyes and holds on tight when they see what I am about to do. I kind of like that about myself. I'm not sure my parents liked it very much.
So here I am. This is me. Determined to be different. Unwavering in my desire to create uniqueness. Searching for the different path and fresh views along the journey. I hope to see YOU along the way...
