images & photographs

There are times when I look through a camera lense to see the world. My artist self loves to collect things = stones, bits of rusted metal, driftwood etc. I also like to collect texture, light, tone, mood and I do this with my digital camera. My photograph collection inspires by creative work. It helps me consider shape and texture. It helps me create a dialogue between me and the world.

I started with a photograph of broom taken at Muir Creek just west of where I live. Broom is an invasive plant that crowds out native plants such as wild roses however it's yellow flower is very beautiful.

These images can be found on my handmade journals in the west coast collection.

These images come from photographs I further altered in Photoshop.
