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.

Lost Youth


When I was visiting my brother in Maine a few weeks ago, I did some exploring in the haylofts of the barns. Seeing the bike, old wooden tennis rackets and the sled brought back alot of memories of my childhood. I processed this image with a bit of a "nostalgic" sense as I remembered my lost youth.
