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.

Boat Reflection #3



Another boat image...I wasn't sure whether I wanted to include the buoy or not in this shot. But i decided that the buoy adds interest and I think it "anchors" the image. I also like the overall monotone aura with just the touch of red on the buoy and the thin red line on the boat.

(Nikon N90...Snapseed, PSE 10)

  1. The treatment you've given this is so appealing, and emphasizes the character of the boat. Beautiful.
