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.

Bird Bath



Birds love this bird bath in the spring and summer but alas, when fall arrives, the birds flee, leaving behind pine needles and leaves. I have a large hosta garden and the hostas surround this bird bath. Every late summer I love to sit outside and see my hostas in bloom in the small forested area and the birds rest in the bath for a splash. The hostas are long gone and the long stalks and leaves are fallen over, the birds are gone and soon the ground will be covered with snow. Another season, another year...
