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.

Manhattan Bridge



Late afternoon in Brooklyn Bridge Park...dreary, gritty, cold wintry day. The Manhattan Bridge is one of 2 bridges that crosses over to Brooklyn. It's not as "popular" to shoot this one as opposed to the infamous Brooklyn Bridge. Nevertheless, I like shooting the Manhattan Bridge. I like the "expansive" feel to it and the shades of the bridge vary from blues to greys depending on the sunlight or overcast day.
