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.

Palms



So, I'm trying some new software and this is another experiment. I was in Arizona last week and at our hotel there was alot of opportunity for images like these palms. They were all perfectly spaced apart to provide a grandiose march down a path to the pool. Glorious and it reminded me of the Hollywood palms down the streets with the grand parades of yore. Thus, I wanted to create the olden Hollywood effect that was in my mind.
