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.

Night Light



Another tulip...I just can't stay away from them! Anyway, I started out with my usual post processing but somewhere along the way, I ended up with this and I think I really like it. I like the glow emanating from the center of the bloom to the outer part of the flower and beyond. It reminds me a touch of moonlight. And while the "rules of third" do not apply here, that's okay with me. The top leaves room for more to do either with text or perhaps adding a moon!!!
