Sheldon  > Photography > Beyond the Camera's Eye
I believe an image should be visually entertaining. A photograph can be more than what the camera sees. In my belief, it is what I see. It is how I wish it to ‘speak’ to the viewer. The image, for me, is therefore a combination of my 'previsualization', the camera, and post-camera tools; all utilized to present my artistic opinion. Note that all images in this gallery began as photographs made by me which were then 'manipulated'; also by me. I do not record a 'process' in producing the paintings, and although I have strong knowledge of my post-camera tools, by design I cannot repeat a result. Thanks for looking.
