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.

Hibiscus



Having some fun with this one! One of the last blooms of the season, I took the image and began to fool around some with various filters. This is a combination of several. I love Georgia O'Keeffe's flowers and I wanted to emulate her work but just a touch. I don't think I got there but instead ended up with this image which I rather like. I'll keep trying! Thanks for viewing.

    Not exactly Georgia O'Keeffe-like, but very unique and interesting all on its own. Very cool!
