Fractals

from w
The other day I walked down Myers Street taking photos of fences, roof-tops, flowering shrubs and so on. From the images I played around with 'fractal' using Gimp, a program I am not very comfortable with but my son said it's very good and he had installed it. My photo-edit program got deleted one time and photo-shop was only for four weeks. So here are some results by overlapping images but using some images that have been fractalled - if there's such a word! The results are more surreal that ordinary!

Can anyone paint like Pollock?

One of the images that came out of two photos of a wintry bare tree reminds me of Jackson Pollock so I reckon it's easy to do what he did. Okay, he splashed, dribbled, threw paint about and I only tapped into a computer but 'Blue Poles' valued at millions isn't so different after all! Okay my ego is talking. It's winter now and as I walked downhill after attending the lunch at St Andrews preceding their Fashion Parade (I skipped that) I looked at the falling leaves, the bare limbs, the patterns against the sky.

Buildings photos to drawings

from w
Last Saturday I took a few digital photos including one of the Exhibition Buildings in Melbourne (about 1880) and one of a streetscape in Myers Street Geelong,(built about 1930s) as I walked the last ten blocks home. I muddled about with them using Photo-edit, overlapping and so on. I have sneezes and sniffles today so am not feeling very bright.
