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.

Station Wagon



I was in Chicago this weekend babysitting my 2 grandchildren. One afternoon my husband and I took the kids to an art festival and our grandson, 2 1/2 yrs old, got a fish face painted and a tattoo. After the noisy festival, we headed to the local toy store where he picked out a station wagon for his toy from us. He never had heard of a station wagon before and out of all the trucks, cars and planes, he wanted that one. I added a vintage and wide angle look to go with the "old station wagon". Not sure I succeeded but I do like the shot....after all, he is my grandson! :)
