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.

On Fire



What started out as one image turned out to be a totally different one. I did some shots in a firehouse a few weeks back. The firemen all have their gear hanging on walls, boots on the ledges, helmets hanging, everything ready to grab and don if necessary for a fire. As I started to process the this shot, I found myself gravitating towards a "fire" mood. Voila...
