Depending on the audience, photographic illustrations may at times be considered as "fine art", or they may have commercial applications. In the case of my illustrative images, they usually begin as a spontaneous idea. If it intrigues me enough, I will eventually explore how to best render it visually, often taking advantage of more than one type of software. The rewards I seek are that of surprisee, laughter or wonderment from whomever the viewer may happen to be.
