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.

Bike ride Anyone?!



Biking is a lifestyle on tropical islands and this bike seems to typify the style and colors that one sees on the islands. I went ahead and spiced up the saturation and the glow a bit to enhance the tropical mood. Whenever I see this image, I just have a smile on my face...my carefree days of childhood riding my bike everywhere with my friends. I miss those days...
