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.

Merry Christmas!!!



It's super hot right now so why not think about something cool!!! This image reminds me of Christmas with its bright reds and greens. I really like the colors together and the varied textures of the trees. I used Topaz Simplify to smooth out the edges a bit yet still retaining the different textures.
