Trees Imagined
At times, capturing the sublime may require skewing reality or pushing the boundaries of photography and post processing techniques. This is what makes it fun and creative! I have found it takes patience and courage to achieve satisfying results. Whether it is a simple flower, crumbling architecture, or a rusty artifact, drawing out the beauty in the potentially mundane is my goal.

entry description
In these images, I attempt to capture the essence of living monuments through motion. Literally, I physically move my camera in various directions and measured sweeping motions to achieve results that are compositionally captivating and thought-provoking. I find the visual blur calming and am drawn to the unrefined shapes, that are whimsical and take me back in time to where child-like amazement can be pondered and revered. In the final stages, a bokeh overlay accentuates the playful character of each image.about the photographer

Many of my favorite subjects are found in nature. My love for this craft is limitless, so I do not specialize in genres.

There's beauty and compelling material everywhere – if we’re looking for it.At times, capturing the sublime may require skewing reality or pushing the boundaries of photography and post processing techniques.
