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.

Textures

I revised this image and I'm still not happy with the web version...at least on my iPad. I'll take a look at it on my PC when I get home to see how the sharpness looks. Any comment from the peanut gallery about the sharpness would be greatly appreciated!




It's been a long time in between posts. Life has a way of interfering with my true love....photography! I'm at my daughter's house in NYC babysitting my 3 month old grandson who's fast asleep at the moment. Such wonders to watch my beautiful grandson! I shot this image at a botanical garden. It was a bright morning and the colors were a bit over-highlighted so I went to the b and w version and upped the contrast to show off the textures more. I like the sharp contrast of the grass and lily pads and I also like the "midnight" sense of light. Hope you do too.
