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.

The Lady



In honor of Columbus Day, I post this image of The Lady. Just as Columbus discovered America, so did the immigrants who came to America with little or nothing to call their own. I processed this photo as if the picture had been taken by an immigrant 100 years ago and the photo has faded..but not the memory.
