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.

Serenity


One evening last week, my husband and I were having dinner with some friends at Ft Myers Beach as the sun set. What is it about palm trees that evoke a certain mood/lifestyle and especially as the sun sets? Anyway, I excused myself from the table and went outside to capture the palm tree. I decided to give the image some texture but you can still see the pink clouds in the BG which I like. Serenity...such a beautiful part of life.
