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.

They Don't Make Reality Shows....


"They Don't Make Reality Shows About Good Girls" #Don't Go Home...That's what this young tattooed man was painting on this warehouse door one night in NYC. I shot this one evening while visiting my daughter after we had had dinner in Brooklyn. I was fascinated about his intent of the message. His calligraphy skills were obvious and I felt that was important in exacting his thoughts to the public. Interesting...I would have liked to have lingered a bit to see if there was anything else he was going to write but I was full in the belly from a fabulous meal and it was past my bedtime!
