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.

Butterflies


What caught my eye at first was the dilapidated awning on the trailer. On a closer look, I was struck by the butterfly adornments. I imagined that a young family lived in this trailer at one point and the butterflies were applied to the exterior to put a smile on their child's face...a whimsical moment. And now... just a reminder of the abandonment of the home.
