Exploding Foliage -- Fred Goldman
Fred Goldman:
Viewing the world in a different light
Although my interest in photography dates back to the film days of the1980’s, my retirement in 2009 finally gave me the time to take photography more seriously.
I became fascinated with digital cameras and the utilization of robust post-processing computer software to enhance what the camera captures. This combination of art and technology has enabled me to create images blending reality with imagination.
I try to see the world around me in a different light. I focus on the details as well as the overall scene to see what makes it distinctive and unusual. Powerful computer image processing software allows me to pull this perspective out of the image and use my creativity to emphasize it in post-processing. The result is something different than what is initially seen by the naked eye in the original capture.
I don’t restrict myself to a particular photographic category. Although I am partial to landscapes, I also enjoy working with monochrome, creative, pictorial, and travel photography genres.
The San Francisco Bay Area provides many opportunities to find interesting subjects. Napa with its wonderful vineyards, exquisite scenery and mountain trails; and San Francisco, with its beautiful hills, bay, and Golden Gate Bridge provide constant inspiration for photographic outings. I consider myself lucky to live in such a photogenic area.
I also enjoy spending part of my year traveling to new places and documenting those trips photographically.
