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.

Jane's Carousel





Jane's Carousel is located on the East River in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The carousel was originally created in 1922 and is on the Historic Preservation list. It's a classic carousel encased by glass so you can see the Manhattan skyline while riding the carousel. The ride's movement to me is the essence of the carousel and I wanted to capture that.
