The camera is my tool of choice to convey landscapes and nature in a graphic form not so much as what my eyes see but what my brain sees after the vision has traveled through my creative process. My style of creativity evolved over time as a result of quietly observing the changes in a natural environment over a course of time.The time spent might be a day, a season or just long enough for the weather to change.Light keeps painting a different picture. Before I begin to finalize my image I have to consider what emotional elements were present when I clicked the shutter. What steps are necessary to achieve my goal? Imaging software takes up where my camera leaves off.Once I have analyzed where I want to go, I utilize this tool to get me there.Time is spent creating an image that challenges the viewer to understand what I saw when I snapped the shutter. Preferably, my images are quiet, not cluttered.They tell a story in a simple way.
