Greetings,
kind soul ~ I’m glad you’re here Every
single day we are privy to bits of beauty, but in our haste we fail to see
them ... we’re too busy, and too focused on what we’re doing.
We
miss the chance to appreciate some of the simple wonder and brilliance that
abounds in this world. My focus ~ pun intended ~ is on bringing those
bits of beauty into the spotlight ~ helping you to see life and the world ‘in a different light’.
Although floral photography formed the
basis of my work at the beginning, lately I find that it has changed to
include scanning, fractals, and editing. I like to “play” with my
images, tweaking the colors, or the shapes, or applying special effects.
I
like taking “what IS” and turning it into what it “COULD be” and I
use editing programs to do that. You
don’t have to spend a mint to be able to edit and create using photos as a
base – you just need time to play and experiment.
Try to leave your expectations and self-judgment at the door.
I
use Photoshop Elements, almost exclusively, to edit my images.
Feel free to check out my
Before/After
page because it really gives an idea of how images change through
manipulation. I have now officially become a camera geek – I have 4 cameras – all
digital, all point-and-shoot: a
Kodak, a Nikon, an Olympus and a Panasonic.
I also use an Epson scanner to create images – talk about wonderful
resolution!
In the music business, singers will do their own versions of other musicians
work, and it will be called a "cover". The way I look at it,
I do covers of some of Nature's greatest hits. I hope you find
something that appeals to you ~ something that speaks to you ~ as you view
my work. Let me know what you
think!
~ I wish you light and
laughter
~
