Fantasy

Artists use tools, techniques, and materials of various kinds in order to make art. The process which yields a pleasing and/or meaningful art work is a successful one, in my view. I have no problem using all the tools I have to create art from digital images. Some photographers are purists and believe that the original image alone should be shown. I don't agree with this idea. I don't find such rules useful.

Experiments

These digital images were created using photoshop and, in some cases, were derived from fractals. It is also interesting to heavily manipulate photographs to create new colors and forms. In some cases, the original photograph is completely gone. I call some of these images "machines" because the forms are complex and hard to describe.

Although I wasn't thinking that anyone would really be reading this, I just want to say that creating vivid colorful imagery is a nice way to avoid looking at an all too gray world.
