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.

Dilapidated


What is about autumn and run down barns? I just love to shoot the old barns as they begin to rot beyond repair. It's getting harder to find the old wooden barns as the farmers put up the aluminum ones that last longer and are maintenance free. The old barns are just another reminder of years past, of a time gone by and left for memories, of the sunlight beating down on the weathered barn, slowly turning to disrepair.

    I love the old barns too! Wish we lived in an area with more photo ops like this. Very nice!
