Imagining Past The Stars

We had almost two weeks in the hospital with AJ. But we are home and he is feeling better. He had pneumonia. So we will keep Imagining past the very stars in the sky. I started this image be for we had to take this time off from doing art. Got it finished to day. I think it is always best to dream as big as we can. Life has no time to do pity parties we must enjoy even things that seem hard to. Not all gifts come in nice packages. Every great story has highs and lows twists and turns. It is the real Adventure.

I begin my photographic creative journeys with my son AJ at my side because he adds inspiration into the visual experience. I attach several objects to a mobile in our living room and turn up some music. Then I basically dance with my camera in hand, hoping to catch the wonderful flickers of beautiful colors, shapes and movements from the spinning and dancing motion that takes place. Then I use my Macintosh computer with Photoshop to enhance several images and combine them into the final composite prints. Some of the images are not composites but are always enhanced in some way that I feel might be beautifully aesthetically pleasing images to enjoy. These images can really feel and look as if they have been painted by a magic brush. I feel a rush of great joy in seeing one printed and hung on the wall. I feel like they sing, dance and play for my eyes and consider the finished works to be fine art photography. What intrigues me most about all photography are the colors, shapes, and patterns which give me mini vacations and provide great rest and relaxation. My great hope is that I can also offer this same joy to everyone who see my photographs. When it comes to making lasting images and having a great investment in photographic art, the best prints possible are now found to be on aluminum. The colors are vibrant and the luminescence is breathtaking. The detail and resolution are incredible. So you will get from my abstracts just fantastic eye popping art . Paper based prints will last about 20 years. The Aluminum prints are about 150 years for the true color stability. This makes it possible for even your grandchildren to enjoy them. But the best part is this can be a great investment for your love of photographic art. Some of my prints are in limited editions. If you would like to make an investment in my art prints for yourself, please let me know.
