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.

The Pose


Seagulls get a bad rap but every time I see a seagull, I know I'm near water...ocean, rivers, harbors...you name it, they love water. And every time I see a seagull, I smile...because I'm near water and that always makes me happy! He was staring right at me when I crept up very slowly and took his picture. I especially like his black eye...looking intently at me. We were one....at least for a second until some little boy ran up to get a closer look and the seagull took off....they don't hang around very long!
