Just as with home recording in music, the digital darkroom opened up an accessible way to explore photography.
Most of these images were taken in and around my (over the years many!) back yards.
They express an attraction and fascination for the Natural World.
Abstract images are generally up close and reveal a different perspective and feel for the subject.
Impressionist images are digitally explored to reveal a kind an impression of the subject similar to how I might paint.

Sometimes I have utilized virtual filters to reveal a contrast of internal structure and form not immediately obvious, as is common in astrophotography.
