Pegasus: fly without wings
I found Pegasus on a horse and cattle ranch outside Palm City, Florida. I spent an afternoon walking around the ranch petting the animals and looking for something to photograph when I saw this rusted cast iron plant hanger. One of the great things about light painting... you can create magic almost anywhere!

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.
