My photographic images are of the views in everyday life but with an angle…..literally. I see the world in geometric shapes.
The majority of my work is in color. Colors have an impact that can overpower the basic shape of a single object or scene. I see it as a puzzle to discover the angles then I will change my eye level position to capture the subject.
As a teenager I painted with oils on canvas but found myself dissatisfied that the paintings did not have sharp perfect lines and true colors. So I stopped painting and began using words as my creative outlet. I wrote poetry and short stories about everyday living.
It was my husband who recognized my fascination with vacation pictures and bought me a professional camera. That was the beginning of my creative expression of life through the lens of a camera. I can capture the sharp realistic lines and true colors of subjects.
Sometimes I will combine my words and photos with humor to make photo essays. My pets make the best subjects. The process is fun but not a fine art product.
Digitally enhanced or black and white photographs have recently been added to my collection.
More than 30 years in the world of photography and I still have the intense fascination of colors and shapes viewed from unique angles.
