Our guest judge this week is a dedicated Edit Me participant, Kaylene Maalste from L'INSTANT. We are so happy to have her this week! Here's a little more about her...
I am retired and live in Berri, Australia with my husband and bossy cat. I have always been interested in creating, in my early days it was playing around with beading, paper maiché, mosaics, quilting and embroidery. I always felt that I needed to focus my creativity into one if not two mediums and I have accomplished this with Art Quilts and photography. My surrounding countryside is full of many different landscapes, in fact sometimes I do not need to even leave my garden. I love taking photographs and then playing with them in my editing software (Photoshop PSE 10) and several great plug-ins. I cannot draw so the computer screen has become my canvas. I participate in challenges that have given me the opportunity to develop my editing skills. I use a CoolPix L120 camera (basically a point and shoot), and I am looking forward to the day I can move up the camera ladder. My husband is very supportive and has grown used to me asking him to pose for me, and coming to an abrupt halt when we are driving so I can take a shot.
Be sure to check out Kaylene here and here to tell her thank you for judging this week! Here is the photo she has provided for us this week. Let's get creative!
