Every now and then I go back through the archives of my master photo files to see if I can resurrect an older image. Usually I'll try the image using new Photoshop skills I've learned or to use a new plug-in filter. This is such an image:
Wine Barrels
Here I used NIK Software HDR effect with individual channel adjustments and contrast adjustments. I find it often rewarding to look over older images with new knowledge of what can be done in the digital darkroom.
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.
