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.

It's Going To...



Peeking through chain link fences on a foggy morning... as a child, I played a game of "where are you going"....making up stories of destinations for what I was viewing. So...the tugboat and barge are headed to ??? And what is the barge's load? I would prefer to think exotic instead of practical.So...there are 3 unicorns on the barge and it's headed to Peter Pan Land!!! And Captain Hook is waiting to capture the unicorns because they possess magical powers that can help Captain Hook nab Peter Pan and Wendy...Oh No!!! Back to reality...another dreary, foggy morning on the river as the daily routine begins anew.
