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.

National Trail



Part of Highway 40 in Iowa is a National Trail, as shown on this building. My thoughts...what was in this building at some point in time? The small town of Dunreith, Iowa...not much to it but I enjoyed it a lot. Friendly people, good food and some fun images to shoot. I'm a sucker for abandoned buildings... always a story behind the closed doors. I like to imagine what might have been.
