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.

Dancin in the Rain


You can always expect to see fun and interesting things at Chicago's Millenium Park. This young lady was dancing in front of the waterfalls using her umbrella as a prop.It reminded me of Gene Kelly! Her family was watching from a bench nearby as they videotaped her. She was adorable. I love the "Mickey Mouse" ears on the umbrella. It was fun shooting images of her. By the time I left, I noticed that she was fairly wet but she was grinning from ear to ear. A fun day for all!
