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.

Dahlias



Dahlias...one of the fav flowers of most people. Autumn has arrived and I must put away my pots and flowers for the year BUT a few more images won't hurt before the flowers are discarded and thrown to the recycled mulch bin! Dahlias project many moods...romantic, dynamic, bouyant, flourishing, whimiscal, and many other auras. I went with romantic and a little bit of dramatic...any thoughts?
