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.

Floating




Floating along Salt River and the rafts were making beautiful abstract paintings in the water. Reflections are some of my favorite images to make. The sun is a powerful tool for reflections. I wish I could paint freely as I feel that I could take a large paintbrush and just whisk it around on a blank canvas but alas, I am not a painter so this image will have to suffice for my blank canvas.

This is being sent via my iPad so I'm not sure how the presentation will look yet. I'm still working on how to get the optimum image from the iPad instead of the PC.

(Sony...Snapseed)

PS...I have updated this frmo my PC. Looks MUCH better!
