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.

Not Forgotten



Every year seeds are planted, flowers bloom and then they die. While the blooms mostly go to seed, the leaves of the plants are left behind to slowly decay and rot. That's when I find the leaves most interesting to photograph as the dried leaves have wonderful patterns and veins. To me the leaves are a reminder that while winter is here, the blooms will not be forgotten and spring will come and the cycle will start anew.
