This direction leaves me completely unfettered to create in a limitless environment. The departure from a more rigid and traditional photographic discipline is more in keeping with the adventurer/explorer part of my personality. I have found that by using my images as a “jumping off place”, I see my photographs as raw material whose hidden beauty and mystery need to be liberated. I remember hearing the great master of landscapes, Ansel Adams, say that he considered his negatives as the raw material for his work…and that the real creativity took place for him in the darkroom. As I am sure he did, I enjoy my time in the field with my camera, but it is when I am working with my images on my computer that the real creativity unfolds for me. Each image is an exploration and journey that begins with the attitude that I am “at play”. I never know where the creative process will take me…. I never have a plan for where I am going…. But I let the creative and intuitive process unfold from within me. It is exciting during those days and hours when I sense something magical is happening and feel the momentum building within until intuitively I know…. “it is done” …the journey is over…I am home. Save the file and savor the image. It is a wonderful and magical process…intoxicating yet never controlled. I wish I could bottle it……
