I make photos to make myself feel good; I share in hope of making you feel good. I do as much as I can in the camera, but it does not always end there.
Part of making an image in the 21st century is processing a captured image in the computer. This is like dodging and burning in the darkroom of yesterday. (I've done that.)
I use Photoshop cc and Lightroom cc. The result is not always what I saw, maybe what I wish I saw. Sometimes, the resulting image is a creation more than a recording. Most of the time, I keep it believable and realistic.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Creative Writing.
I have shared thousands of my poems on the internet, to a considerable audience and I'm considering making a selection of them, in a book or books.

Thank you APS Malhotra!
There are different ways to see. We ignore most of what we see, because there is too much of it to process with our brains. We decide what is important to us and that’s what we see (in our minds).

A profoundly true piece. Sometimes a different focus is needed to get a useful and helpful perspective

Thank you d.a.!
I think I want to decide what to focus on and rethink what focus is. This image is out of focus but I like it better than if it was in focus.
Obviously it is a flower (a columbine) but seems a bit abstract to me. If it was in focus, I would not like it as much.
Technically, a disaster, I really like it, and decided I’d share. I might like to make a very large print on canvas.

What a good idea about the canvas!!! I hope you do and that you like it.
We spend our lives aiming for technical perfection, all the more so now that we can do so very much. Yet it’s the imperfections in nature and life and humanity that move us most and uplift and enhance us surely.
Keep up the great work.😊

I saw a wedding photo not long ago that was so wrong it was right! In the fore ground, a pair of wedding rings, nicely in focus.
The background was fuzzy. But you could see a bride and groom, standing behind the rings, hugging, kissing.
It was the reverse of what you’d expect.

How wonderful and imaginative of the photographer to have decided on this!!! Obviously the marriage was the thing, hence I guess the decision to focus on the symbol of marriage. And the happy couple are unique but united with all wedding ring wearers. Very clever.
Thank you for letting me know this delight 😊
