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.

Morning Fog




On my way to see my grandchildren early in the AM, I had to stop a few times to shoot some images with the phone. One of the things I love most about autumn is the early fog on the ponds and lakes before the sun has risen high. The steam off the water along with the early light is always such a warm, cozy mood for me. I would have liked to have spent a bit more time shooting this but I was on a mission to see the grandkids, 3 hours away!!!! Priorities....

PS...I first posted this with my iPad but I found the image to be very soft. While I don't want it too sharp as I wanted a more painterly feel, I'm struggling with the resolution via iPad and PC....an ongoing lesson. Stay tuned!
