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.

Just Another Day of Relaxation



My son's Goldendoodle...he was taking a break from all the little kids running around and creating havoc in his home!!! It was my granddaughter's first birthday party and there were A LOT of little ones running around. The dog was pooped. He sat up on the stairs in his usual corner and oversaw the crazy actions down below and slowly let out a sigh..I didn't do much to the image...added some texture for the BG and a bit of Buz Sim on the fur....

(Sony Nex 5...Snapseed and Topaz)

    What a great doggie portrait! He does look like he's just trying to make it through the party.
