Old guy learning to SEE again...
.... and CREATE again...
.... and enjoying it tremendously!
"Seeing must be direct, for a warrior can't use his time to unravel what he himself is seeing . Seeing is seeing because it cuts through all that nonsense. In the beginning seeing is confusing and it's easy to get lost in it. As the warrior gets tighter, however, his seeing becomes what it should be, a direct knowing. A warrior asks a question, and through his seeing he gets an answer"
DON JUAN MATUS, Tales of Power
Have been an artist internally since i was 5 years old. Studied art in S. California back in my old Hippie days but then was forced into many years of jobs with little creativity. Now retired i have been feeding my artistic side well and doing digital photography with strong post-processing for a few years now. It helps satisfy my very active creative urge.
The actual detailed photos are great but i truly enjoy pumping them up a bit and going wandering further in the impressionistic, surreal, scifi/fantasy and abstract directions. i live for COLOR and LIGHT! Many will probably think my works may be overdone... but the colors, light brightness and contrasts are the basis of the energies i feel when creating these works. i do some HDR, some psuedo HDR, some photo-paintings, and many symmetrical sculptural manipulations with my photos.
i have no set style and i'm not a "high-end" guy, just mostly HDRs, Photoshop Elements, Photomatix, Paint X2 manipulations and a bit of Kaleider work. But these combine into several million possible (actually infinite) creative actions for each photo! Very anxious to learn MORE...
i am very interested in how we REALLY SEE with eyes and brain... and with computer displayed PHOTON driven Art we can do things never before possible in 2 dimensions...

Zoom Lens says:
"I have enjoyed Jeff's photos for a long time now, so it's time I provided a testimonial to his talent. ELECTRIC! Viewing Jeff's photos are like grabbing hold of a live wire! If you're dull and lifeless his photos will pleasantly shock you back to a state of alertness and vitality, proving that the cold, cruel world can be overcome, can be molded, altered, and manipulated into something positive and passionate. There's a sense of pathos evoked here, intermingled with an admiration for the human spirit's ability to triumph over the daily grind. These are just a few of the wonderful emotional conundrums that Jeff brings to his photographs...and his technical skills are beyond reproach! Brother, I love your work, and I say to you in words which you will fondly recall and recognize: "Onward, through the fog!""

"Beware all ye that enter the photostream of Jeff.....aka......ISEEthings.........a man of many photo manipulative talents and visions both mind disturbing and otherwise....irrefutable proof that alien beings did proliferate with our ancestors and not all that long ago is abundantly scattered among the iridescently cosmic 4th dimensional eye popping menagerie of whimsical chortle evoking phantasmagorical not your every day objects of desire yet profound in all five senses and penetrating even deeper in the sixth and seventh and then some photos he uploads!!! If I had to stipulate a human worthy of becoming supreme being of our anti-universe I would not hesitate to assign Jeff to that position knowing full well that his ever penetrating vision that borders on x-ray nay gamma ray intensity would serve the billions and billions in a McDonalds efficiency that would render death marches and funerals obsolete for ever and ever!!! Rock on......cosmic seeing dude....Rock on!!!!!"
