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.

Morning Reflection



Many mornings I would walk to this spot by the river to see what the image would be in the AM. It was always a different sight and on this morning, I enjoyed the reflection in the morning rains. I also really like the old trolley tracks and cobblestones. And the juxtaposition of the Brooklyn Bridge and skyscrapers tells a story of engineering feats. I really felt as if I was in another decade walking in history....a great way to start the day.
