from high above,
i look at
rushing waters,
spilling over
wet and
rounded rocks.
our lives too
sometimes
rush, spilling
over rocky
dangers,
where we
might smash,
breaking ribs
and more,
desperately
struggling in
wild torrents,
gasping for air.
from cliffside
outlooks,
it all looks
beautiful
and peaceful.
but sometimes
in rushing
tumults,
we learn
desperation,
beaten by
wild currents,
we sometimes
survive.
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 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.
