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.

Fluffy Clouds...of sorts!


These grasses always remind me of "fluffy clouds". The grasses are so soft and the colors are so inviting. I want to just throw myself on top of the "fluffy clouds" and float. Of course, I'd hurt myself as I landed onto the ground :) The Florida grasses are quite difficult to photograph due to the very thin nature of the flora. Morning light adds a wonderful glow and aura to the grasses.
