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.

The Clearing



I was on a mini vacation in Michigan last weekend. It had rained off and on all day and 
it finally began to clear that evening. I was at my sister in law's rental overlooking the deck at the beautiful lake. You almost imagine that you're at the ocean beach instead of a lake. I had an overwhelming sense of calm as I peered out into the deep waters and then...."Time for dinner" someone shouted. Bye bye calm!
