Janet Gade-Malone

I am a photographer, a collector and an artist. I collect images of interesting and unusual objects to use in my photographic illustrations with my camera. A digital scanner, computer and Photoshop have become my new electronic darkroom. My work comes from my mind, camera, heart and soul. Seeing my visions on paper is an amazing accomplishment and makes me want to create again and again. I am happiest when I am taking photos or editing them. A finished print may contain several photos that I have taken, yet some photos I take will not be edited digitally because I feel that I have captured my idea without digital enhancements. I have not always embraced digital photography. I avoided it for several years and now I have finally fallen in love with it, Photoshop and the possibilities they have given me to take my photography to another level.
