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.

And So It Begins



And so it begins...the annual ritual of harvesting the corn and soybeans! I've lived in the midwest for a long time now and I'm still fascinated with the harvesting process. On my early bike ride this AM, I came across this familiar scene...the farmer brings to market his harvest (corn here). Here at the local co op grain elevators, the corn is dispensed and stored for the eventual sale of the crop. It's always an interesting sight and today was no different. I liked the sun reflecting through the corn dust, the farmer perched on his truck. Another season almost at a close...which means fall is just around the corner...my fav time of the year!
