REALITY & BEYOND

My image style is evolving
from realism to what might be called altered
reality. I still enjoy doing
“straight” photography of beautiful scenes.
However, I’m more excited about exploring the possibilities with digital
imaging technologies to create images that go beyond reality—to the
impressionistic, mystical, fanciful, or what
could be. All photographs have some degree of altered reality—in the sense
of departure from what the eye actually saw—as a minimum due to the technical
limitations of camera optics and film/digital light sensors. I am just carrying this concept further to
portray what is in my mind’s eye.
My inspirations come at any time—quite
often when listening to beautiful classical music. I tend to favor images that have bold colors and simple graphic
designs. Some of my recent images are
composed from separate photographic elements.
Currently, I scan film to digitize the images.
All exhibited prints were chemically
processed on conventional photo print paper, such as, Fuji Crystal
Archive. Acid-free mount board has been
used.
