I probably have one of the coolest mom's on the planet.   I get my artsy side from her, I'm sure of it.  I have always been inspired by her artistic/music abilities.  I think it's ironic that Joy is getting inspiration for her art from my photographs.  Check out the video above of Joy painting one of my pictures I took in the Amazon River Basin. You can also check out her site at JoyPfefferkorn.com She needs a little help in the social media and web department...she prefers painting rather than blogging and tweeting.  As photographers I'm sure we can learn a few things about her use of color and light.  Maybe we can all encourage her to write a little piece on color...something that most photographers (including myself) know little about.  Also, you can visit Joy on facebook here.
