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.

Getting Ready



I took this image 2 falls ago and it has become one of my favs for the autumn season. To me it represents the beginning of the wildlife getting ready for the winter months. We have some wetlands near our house where the fowl are omnipresent. The geese are year round residents and they gather every fall in these wetlands to begin their migration south. One evening I was shooting some of the flora when these 2 geese took off to meet the rest of their flock. I liked the sun catching their wings in flight and the motion. It always amazes me how geese fly "in sync".
