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.

Autumn Impressions



Leaves are falling down furiously in the last few days and the weather is drastically changing. Yesterday our temps dropped 30 degrees in 2 hours. As I walked down my driveway to get the mail, I was bombarded with leaves and immediately I got my iPhone out. I have a new app, Avg Cam Pro and thought I would try it out. LOVE it! Instead of panning or using slow shutter cams, this app sets up the shot and then takes anywhere from 1 to 128 individual shots and combines them for the final image. What fun! This image was produced with 8 shoots. Hope you like it!
