A Song of the Sea
At night the ocean sings a different song... a passionate one that glows rich with reflection and inspiration.
"A Song of the Sea" was released in 2020, but shot in 2017 at beautiful Lido Key Beach near Sarasota. This was my first light painting photograph using a digital camera. The difference between digital and film was so vast that I made multiple errors and I never thought I would release the photo. But returning to it years later with fresh eyes, I realized that in fact I had A LOT to work with! A short time later, the image finally came to life.
A short behind-the-scenes video is available here.

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.
