Dichroic Images – it is almost as though dichroic was made for me. Well it sure accommodates this inter-dimensional views I am now having. I am 87% colorblind so that just means we can agree that we do not see the same ways when it comes to colors. I have synesthesia which means “The Mixing of Colors” It is totally an intuitive sense whereas sight and sound senses overlap. On some level I am hearing colors and seeing sound. Interesting confusing and very contradictory to the conventional mindset. It took years of looking at it within myself to accept this new dynamic I was having. Now it is as though it is normal for me to hear and feel colors.
I have been experimenting in many ways of how to control colors, project colors then realized that color is just vibrational energy. With that said I thought I could make something for a camera that allowed me to somewhat capture what it was that I was seeing or feeling. My feelings in other words came before the photography and the photography makes sense out of those or confirms that there is much more than what meets the eyes again on that ole conventional level. By the way most of the images are raw images in that they are not some photo shopped effect you are seeing. For the most part they are exactly what the camera saw behind or through the dichroic elements I developed for this use as well as special mirrors. If anything most of the images are sized, sharpened an in a few case the color inverted other wise they are as original as possible in composition just brightened.
I see myself selling the imagery now on many levels from coffee table books of pictures, calendars, cards and many other possibilities. I am at the stage that for now it is important for me to try all kinds of photographic possibilities first as I am doing right now. If a person is impressed with ideas of how we can move forward financially etc, then I am very open to creating that channel of opportunity.
Till then enjoy and look forward to hearing back from you.
