When it comes to effects, I am self-taught - finding my way around PicMonkey, Paintnet and PixArt, always discovery and learning something new everyday.

 

I am always amazed at how using effects - textures and overlays - how it changes the mood and feeling of the image. I use many layers mostly my own until I get something that pleases my eye and moves me in some way. I love colour - it brightens one’s life.

 

I lean towards nature as I am lucky to live near Stanley Park with its trees, flowers, lagoon and wildlife. I walk around the Lost Lagoon a few times a week with my Canon S90 in my pocket always ready to take that photo! The Park and the West End of Vancouver have served me well in my images and in my life.

 

My work is very intuitive. This is the essence of my images. I feel I am being lead to the final result and the hope is that it is as pleasing to the viewer as it is to me.

 

I’m still learning and having fun - discovering something new every day.

Your site is a motion of creativity that offers much more than life. Your work opens a new world to all those who like to journey or at least want to enter a new world to journey. Sites like this offer an opportunity to create some poetics. They are not easy to create but they offer little embers that may eventually turn into a flaming desire of poetics. If I had one tenth the gift you have I would have been known years ago but I am a mere one grain of sand in the Gobi Desert. I have attempted to quit but my heart like your creativity pulls me back into a world of of poetics. Bless you.
