I love to use photography in any way possible in my work. We live in a generation that accepts photography as an art form. When I take a photograph I never know what I am going to do with it in advance. I have achieved some of the best results by digitally enhancing some of the most ordinary images.

To me, the abstraction will result in one of two ways, either by the uniqueness of the original photograph or in the extreme digital enhancement of an ordinary image.

Either way if the end result is fresh and different, I leave it alone and let it speak for itself. To me this is no different than creating an original oil painting or mixed-media painting.
