Wherever you go, there you are!

charr-crail-wherever-you-go-memeSeriously, Wherever you go, there you are.  I’ve been thinking so much about my business and other entrepreneurs who want pictures and videos to go on their social media sites, their websites and marketing stuff.  I know a stock photo when I see it.  I don’t mind them but I’d rather see the real thing– the hand of the artist if you will.  It just looks real so I’m getting kinda more passionate about it these days because it’s become that thing that is always in the back of my mind.  Business, photos, posting, working–  Wherever I go, there I am, with my cell phone.

When someone is crazy for something, can’t stop thinking about it or doing it and is all about that particular thing… ?  Yeah, they joke about that saying “like a dog with a bone”.  I get it, and I am a dog with a bone now too.  My iPhone.  My camera phone.  I use it for EVERYTHING practically.  Well, I may not use it as a spatula to turn over a hamburger patty but I do use it more and more everyday for more and more. Here is a list for a few of the things I use it for.

About charr

Charr Crail is a Northern California photographer and artist with an avid passion for creating unique digital imagery. Charr, a full-time freelance photographer, spans the divide between photojournalism and extraordinary art via photography and can trace back her evolution as an photographer/artist from three dominant sources. Her father made his living as a newspaper photographer and as soon as he could, was taking young Charr, then four, on assignments to capture a lifetime of experiences and images. He instilled a sense of adventure and curiosity in her as they would often meander down unknown country roads of the South – just to see and capture what was out there. Soon after, Charr would develop her eye for photography and journalism as “the river that runs through everything she does”. Charr’s mother blessed her daughter with the ability to appreciate art in its various mediums. Further, her mother was able to pass along the joy, satisfaction and excitement one can experience in actively creating something beautiful. It’s no surprise, then, that Charr would become a photojournalist and later a photo editor spanning two decades working for Northern California publications including The Sacramento Bee. Often, her assignments would include community events with a “close to home” theme woven into every image and story she captured. Her photojournalistic experience has therefore been nuanced through everything she produces. She’s also drawn to the wonder of color and the beauty that can be found in the composure of a face and the make-up of the human bodyscape. Charr has won countless awards for masterful pieces including; the Professional Photographers of America LOAN Collection for two consecutive years, WPPI Grand Award and her work has been featured in the Di Rosa Museum in California’s beautiful Napa Wine Region and is also part of the permanent collection. Separately, she instructs digital photography workshops that teach students how to blow out the creativity of their photography in simple methods using programs like Adobe Photoshop and how to market using mobile devices-- Visual Content Creation using Mobile Devices.. Charr lives in Sacramento with her husband Chris and kitties Leeloo and Sadie.
