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.

Sunset Seat



Sometimes simple says it all. The sunset light shining on the bench beckoned one to sit down and enjoy the evening light...yet, it was so cold that no one wanted to sit...just keep moving to stay warm...so the bench remained empty, void of any human contact. Yet, for me, the simplicity of the bench with the beautiful light was all that I needed to keep me warm inside with thoughts of hot cocoa waiting for me when I arrived back home.
