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.

Thinking of You...



The last few weeks have seen quite a bit of turmoil in our country. I try not to let it get to me but sometimes, I just want to throw up my hands and shout some common sense into people. And yet, I know my voice is only one in a billion or more. So this image is my way of expressing my thoughts to all of those who have been subject to violence and turmoil. May you find peace within and I'm thinking of you...
