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.

Water's Edge



Do I or not? That was the question confronting me when I attempted to dip in Lake Michigan a few weeks ago! The water was cold but not as cold as I expected. My grandson kept yelling at me "Grandma, don't go too far into the water!" I decided to heed his advice :) But I did enjoy the water slowly moving over my feet in a tidal way and I enjoyed just looking at the water, rocks and sand under my feet. It was decidedly a wonderful moment to relax and know that my grandson was protecting me (2 1/2 years old!).
