“Impressions” is a body of work created with a little magic utilizing the camera, the imagination, and the “digital dark room.” Today’s technology allows for unparalleled innovation and creativity -- both in the field and in post processing. Colorful “blurs” are created by intentionally panning the camera while taking an image-- and the results can be a bold and dramatic geometric design or soft and ethereal. In addition to simply seeing images, it’s about experiencing them.
Far from being a strict rendering of a scene, these images interpret the energy that the combination of color and movement produce. Some images may be multiple exposures, in which images of the same subject are combined together. Others may be photo montages--a familiar image taken to the next level when joined with one of nature’s infinite textures. The fun is that while the images may be based in the commonplace, such as a seascape or landscape, they create an emotional response that might represent something else entirely for each individual viewer.
