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.

Challenge 1... Child's Drawing



When I posted the Coneflower Octopi the other day, I had so much fun with the image that I decided to challenge myself. Take one image and process it differently for a week or so to see what I can come up with. After the usual processing, I went into the PSE filters Ocean Ripple and Glowing Edges. This is the end result. It reminds me of a child's drawing of coneflowers...a bit psychedelic :):):)
