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.

Up, Up and Away


I have just returned from England where I visited the Cotswold Hills and London. While I was in London, I visited the Chelsea Flower Show. What a fabulous show and so much to photograph. It will take me months to go through all my photos, always a chore yet always fun to remember my trip. I thought I would start with this image as it reminded me of my trip...Up, Up and Away!!! This is a statue at the flower show and it seemed to tower over the trees, soaring into the sky. Hold onto your hat, she screams!!! I decided to add an aura of mystical, magical, fairy tale like! More to come!
