The artist in me lay dormant, like a seed, for the first 50 years of my life. One day it burst open upon taking a photograph of a reflection on water. I now photograph anything that catches my attention and then combine or manipulate the images digitally, using only Google's Picasa, to enhance or create various effects of colour, pattern, texture and tone. For me this mimics the night time dreaming process, wherein our subconscious constantly scans our daytime environment and then reprocesses fragments of it into symbolic imagery in our sleep.
