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.

Crops In



The crops are in and the fields are left to be plowed under. The wind is whipping and late fall has set in. Soon the fields will become a winter wonderland. I used to hate this time of the year after the leaves are all fallen and the fields are so barren but now I find it a bit soothing, familar, intimate. I think about the roaring fireplace, the cozy blankets to snuggle under, nesting and comfort foods. Another crop, another year...
