ABOUT ME

I tend to see things a little differently in our world. When I picked up a camera for the first time, I realized there was a way to express what I was seeing. Since that first image, I have explored different avenues of photography and art.

The images I share here show the various, and sometimes eccentric visions that pass through my eyes, my brain, my heart and my soul. .

LANDSCAPES

The way I create has two very distinct sides.  For my Landscapes, I want them to be clean and natural.  This takes a lot of planning to get it right in-camera.  Once on my computer, I can tweak a little here and a little there to bring the image to it’s most majestic.  Please don’t let the “Purists” out there fool you into thinking post-processing is evil and if you do it, you’re not a real photographer.  Ansel Adams Dodged & Burned in the darkroom.

Inspiration

Have you ever just sat in your backyard in the evening and watched how the beautiful, golden light of dusk plays through the leaves of a tree?  Or sit on a bus stop bench admiring how the midday sun glistens off the glass windows of a skyscraper?  My inspiration comes from things that we all take for granted.  The little things that we pass by every day.  We all need to slow down and look at the world around us.  SEE the light.

DIGITAL ART

With the advent of Photoshop and other editing software, came the ability to create images that we can see in our minds but couldn’t put on paper.  Digital cameras have given us the ability to take thousands of images.  But what do we do with all of them?  Most are not suitable for print alone but we just can’t throw them out.  Hey, let’s layer them together to make really beautiful works of art!
