I see so much beauty on my walks around my community that I want to share -- beauty both in nature and in works created by people. Now the creative tools of digital photography and image manipulation software help me to show others the visions I see, but have never been able to express well with the more traditional media of paper, pencil and paint. Each image starts with one of my original digital photographs. Some scenes lend themselves to a crisp, detailed, realistic treatment -- what we think of as a "regular photograph." But other scenes lend themselves to abstraction or interpretation -- a more "painterly" treatment.For those images, I use Photoshop and similar programs as my brushes and paints, to transform the literal photograph of what is really there into a more symbolic, universal depiction of what I see in my mind. I may change the lighting or perspective, combine elements from two or more images, emphasize some aspect of the scene or remove a distracting detail. I may choose a palette knife-like treatment in one area, a watercolor-like treatment in another -- whatever suits the subject and the impression I want to convey.
