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.

Last Bloom



Fall is here and the yard is beginning to look a bit disheveled with leaves on the ground, floral stems empty of blooms and leaves, gardens void of flowers and color...just a few blooms left on my hydrangea bushes. Fairly well desaturated blooms and yucky greens at that....hanging on by a thread and waiting to fall to the ground and be chewed up by the mower for mulch!
