There is no doubt that I enjoy making and looking at pretty pictures. It is my little way of fighting back the daily bombardment of images the world has to offer. I hope my little pictures provide a respite from this visual assault. The pretty picture is a welcome change from what the world throws at us.
While a pretty picture is nice, the challenge is to makes it more than a visual confection. Giving meaning to a picture, making it more than a scene, creating an object of meditation is the goal. Making the image representative of an emotion, a feeling or a common experience gives the audience more than a transitory visual experience.
