Ocean Embrace
Standing at the foot of the weathered stairs in Juno Beach, Florida, the ocean lay before me, inviting me. Its a stunning location, where you can view the expansive ocean while perched atop a hill.
After the sun had set, with the light fading quickly and with a 5 minute exposure ticking down in my camera, I ran toward the ocean waves with a spotlight in my hand and adrenaline in my veins, lighting the sand along the way

Light Paintings series
I sometimes fantasize that with the snap of a finger, I can escape reality ... in a moment, be transported to a dream world free of life's demands, a child's playground where magic exists and all is right with the world.My Light Paintings are that portal. Through them I can transcend reality and escape into these beautiful, vibrant yet peaceful realms.

Although there is some digital manipulation in this series, the unusual lighting and surreal quality in the Light Painting series is achieved by using colored lights during long exposures. They are not digital effects.
