Last week I took my very first cruise trip with my lovely wife, Michele, aboard the Royal Caribbean ship Oasis of the Seas. We had some unfortunate changes in our itinerary, but had a good time all the same. Stopped in Nassau, San Juan, Puerto Rico and Royal Caribbean's own little resort on Haiti. And since there was a large amount of time spent on the ship cruising the Caribbean sea, I decided to take some shots of what was presented:
Clouds 1
Took this from the balcony of our room on the ship. Took quite a lot of pics of clouds as well as some shots of the wake created by the ship. Thinking the cloud shots may work as their own gallery, and the water shots as abstracts ... we'll see.
I am inspired by the works of great painters and sculptors to find my own voice and explore my own artistic expression.
I believe the foundation for compelling art is all around us. Because of my career in video and film production and my long standing love of photography I see much of the world as images. With photography I am able to catch those images. And using the digital darkroom I can further transform a bit of the natural and man-made world into my personal vision.
I believe that every millimeter of every image is an integral part of the whole. The elements within the image frame are what interest me; composition, color, light, tone and texture. The camera and digital darkroom are tools I use to unite those elements and create a cohesive, balanced whole.
I believe the creation of art is a journey of discovery. I do not always know where I will end up when I first click the shutter. But I believe there is something to be found. That is what get my creative juices flowing and invites me to experiment. So it is with a great feeling of adventure that I pick up my camera and begin the journey.
