MICHAELS's STATEMENTS

"I draw with the camera and paint with the computer.  Sometimes I leave my color images as shot, other times I convert them to black + white. Other times I over-saturate colors, or mix them up way too surreal. Still other impulses have them cut up – reborn within a collage or montage to make new art. But however I “produce” my travel images, I am always going for my take on the scene. And sometimes that has nothing to do with the purist conventions of travel photography. I make my own reality – this is how I see the world."
