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.

Child's Tree


My first memories of being a child at school were from kindergarten. I remember playing with paints and brushes. I also remember painting with sponges. When I shot this tree with the Avg Cam app, the result reminded me of my childhood. I would take the sponge and dab it into the paints and then blot on the paper with the sponge. I always thought that was so cool. So, I think this image is kind of cool!
