C.J. Grimes did a photo shot for me back in November of 2010. There was myself, my son, and my daughter.
He picked the perfect place out at the Gila Community College. He seems to have a gift of finding the perfect location, finding the right lighting, what's the best part of the day to take the picture, and which is your best side to take, etc. He took the time to fix any flaws that may have been in the photos and made them look perfect. Although it was a Christmas gift to me from him for the photos, I would have gladly paid him top dollar for his time and effort. It would have been well worth it. I had my pictures developed, some made into 8 x 10 of my children. I have the family shoot of the three of us (color with also black and white) all in frames hanging proudly on my living room walls. Everyone that walks through my door asks me, "Who took those pictures?" I get to brag and say my nephew. I also have some of them on Facebook, and have received several positive feedback and "likes". Also, again wondering who took the pictures. I have also seen other photography that CJ has taken. Some with amazing angles that catch something in the scene you would not have seen otherwise. He has influenced my view on everyday life and things around me. It has caused me to start looking at things a whole new way. I see more than just what is in front of me now. There us another particular picture I saw at my father's home, hanging in a frame. It was a picture of a pathway, the coloring was magnificent in it. i asked my dad, "Where did you get that picture? It is so beautiful!" He said, "CJ had it displayed at his art showing and I asked him if I could buy it from him." On another occasion, at his graduation for his Associates Degree in Photography and Art, i personally saw the art teacher, Mr. Brown, make a point to walk up to CJ, shake his hand, and say "If you ever need any references, you let me know." CJ senses "art" in everything he sees and does. I think he is an amazing artist and the proof is in every photo he produces. Sincerely Stacey Plaisted |
