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.

Happy Holidays...A Day Late!!!



Empire State Building with Christmas lights Dec 25, 2012...as seen through Manhattan Bridge (AKA...DUMBO) in Brooklyn... As I left my daughter's home Christmas night, I knew I had to take a few quick shots of the iconic Empire St Bldg as who knows when I will be back to Brooklyn for Christmas again. It really is quite a sight and this photo by no means does it justice but it is my memory of a wonderful and special Christmas as I welcomed my new grandson into the world 10 days ago. Life is truly a blessing. I will be traveling in the next week to several spots and no time to post so Happy New Year to all and I will be back to my daily (I hope) posting in 2013. Thanks for viewing.
