One Christmas in my early teens I was offered cash or my father’s old used Miranda 35 SLR camera. I took the camera. I started to take pictures of fence posts and dead trees, finding the beauty thru the lens that he had found. Catching a glimpse of texture, lighting, and amazing views through a little box changed my world. I would have to say that I caught some of my fathers artistic eye and learned from his technical training. I would watch as he would setup, photograph, record settings, apature and f /stops and then watch him work in the darkroom.
As I photograph and find images I enter into a different mind set, a different world. I love entering into the creative process. Time stops, reality is through the lens, I am alive. When I finally leave that world and come back, there is a lightness, an unsung song, a peace that has settled. That is why I do what I do…
I enjoy natural settings, and great images that are found in the real world. I do not use image overlays and simulated scenes. I process images by adding black, lighten highlights and darkening shadows, enhancing the vibrance / saturation and clarity to enhance an image. What I strive for in photography is to capture as much natural setting as possible only bringing out unnoticed objects and images that catch the eye. The mirror images in these photos are natural and have not been mirrored or manipulated to make a full face. The blue colors in the rocks are a result of inheirent natural colors that have been intensified by saturation.
