Step through the Light
These steps are by the Chicago River several miles north of downtown, and they are a mystery to me... Was there a house there once? Some grand old mansion?
The night I shot this, my wife shot some video while I was lighting the location.

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.
