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.

Mini Spruce



WOW...I didn't realize that I haven't posted for weeks! Family events and babysitting grandchildren have been on the front burner, thus, photo blog has been pushed to the back. I'm still involved with some family events so my blog will be sporadic for awhile! Anyway...there was this mini spruce in front of a "white mountain of polyurethane" at a floral exhibition. I immediately decided that I would convert to B&W and let the frame edges roll out naturally. Any thoughts? I think I might need to go back and try a different B&W conversion but I do like how the spruce kind of hangs in mid air.
