I enjoy using a camera to translate my visualization into reality on paper. Visualization is defined as the ability to see in the "mind's eye" the finished work before actual application. It is the creative process of images transitioning from the realm of the reactive and contemplative to the conscious and deliberate. An element of surreal gives the viewer a different perspective on the subject, removing the literal and getting down to the essence of conveying the energy of the subject. For me, the image begins when the work goes beyond merely representing reality and enters the realm of personal expression. My methods are meant to be intentional, whether in the camera or post processing.

Chicago Skyline


There was a very low lying fog coming in over the Chicago skyline. I shot this through my car window as my husband drove. The fog was quite eerie looking so I wanted to add some grit and hardness to what I was feeling when I shot this image.
