PhotoDream Series

Impressionist French painter Paul Gauguin once wrote, "Color, what a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams." I’ve always been mesmerized by vivid colors and striking color combinations, in my dreams and in real life. And now I have a gallery to express this. And what if I reversed light and shadow but not the colors? Wouldn’t that create a kind of mystical inner lighting in my subjects? Indeed, some of the objects in my still life shots seem to float up at you -- and no 3D glasses required!
