Tamara Valjean
Profile
If there is anything good in my art, the glory belongs to God.
Composing just the right shot is an art in itself. I think every shot should tell a story.
Graduated with honors from the Art Institute of Seattle with an AA degree in Video Production. Currently volunteering as a producer/production manager on a web-based series, Star Trek: Phoenix, a local Seattle film production. Have worked on three feature films in the last 18 months and on my first documentary, Farragut – A Naval Legacy. You can check it out on my website cinemavaljean
My other love is photography. I’m always taking photographs of everything I see, as my camera goes everywhere I do. Amazing what a point & shoot camera can do, all my photos have been shot with one. Now, if I only had a professional camera, the possibilities would be endless… : )

Legal vs. Moral: The Bottom Line
...there is a schism of opinion regarding which behaviors are acceptable and who has the authority to set and enforce these rules.
The Fortress
You kindled the fires / of hope, / Where the last embers / lay dying. / You tend it well.
Clarity
Where did it go, / that important thought? / No retrieve button to push / elusive, teasing, gone.
