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.

Sunflower



I'm beginning to explore the "textured" world and thought I would try my first venture on the sunflower. What I've tried to do here is to add texture to the BG without compromising the flower itself. Sometimes I like the look of a texturized flower and sometimes not. In this case, I thought it better to keep the flower intact. Any thoughts? Spring was slowly getting here...the fosythias are in bloom...the grass is green...the rabbits are running around...and the robins are banging on my windows again..!!! Happy Spring  :):):)
