"We must go beyond the constant clamor of ego, beyond the tools of logic and reason, to the still, calm place within us: the realm of the soul." ~ Deepak Chopra
There is a very spiritual aspect to my artistic expression, and ICM photography enables me to say things with my art that cannot be expressed any other way. As a traditional landscape photographer originally, once I turned to ICM my creative vision expanded and evolved more than it ever did with more traditional photographic approaches. With ICM, I am able to lift the veil between the physical world and the spiritual world and connect with the energetic life force that permeates all things.
Handheld, in-camera, single-exposure ICM, using a wild wavy motion to capture the late afternoon light between the heavens (a cloud bank) and the earth (a lake). Minimal post-processing in Lightroom, with spot removal in Photoshop.
