ERASING THE YEARS

With the selfie that became "Erasing the Years" (2-23-15 003v2b) I was not so much trying to make myself look younger as healthier. (My bathroom lighting is not the most flattering, especially with respect to under eye circles and such.) And I was attempting this improvement because I still do not have a photo for blog/internet purposes that I like. Well, as I fidgeted with this new selfie it obviously took me to some unexpected and strange places. And this version I really like. One of my thoughts on seeing it pop up on my screen was "Oy, way too much botox!" I also like that vague suggestion of a skull it gives. (Who's in a weird mood? Not me!)

IN A WHIRL

"In A Whirl" (9-1-09 6368ev6) ... very old pic, brand new version of many ... what else is there to say? Oh, here's a link to another version on my dreams & poetry blog yesterday. Essentially all I did to get to "In A Whirl" from the one on my other blog was to invert the colors. Though I did then also rotate it (once reversed the colors had different "weights") and adjust the saturation and hues ever so slightly. And, just in case it's not still apparent, that whirl is how that cactus grows (i.e., I did not Photoshop that).

BRIDGE AT LAST LIGHT

"Bridge At Last Light" (3-2-15 005v14a) is a new morph of a new pic. However, as almost always with old or new pix, it's only one of many -- I blush to admit how many -- versions.

THE DAWNING

"The Dawning" (2-12-15 2155v13) was just morphed this morning from a very old pic found in my on-going archiving work. I blush to admit this is one of 9 new versions of that original. And that doesn't count the bunch I just deleted that I see as not working and almost certainly unredeemable. In any case, the other 8 that I've kept are interesting but this one called out to be posted.

WINTER SUNDOWN

"Winter Sundown" (3-2-15 005v14c) was just morphed this morning from a brand new photo. And as is often the case, it's one of many versions I've made of this pic. Click here to see another version on today's post to my dreams & poetry blog. In both I applied (among many other filters and such) the newest function I've explored in Photoshop, emboss. What fun! Like being a kid again with boxes of crayons, an erector set, scissors, paste, etc., and an over-stimulated imagination. Quite a contrast to that seriousness that tends to return once I leave my computer. Maybe someday I'll get better at maintaining that playfulness sans computer or camera.

THE HEART UNFURLS

"The Heart Unfurls" (11-24-09 8274v4b) was (big surprise...) just reclaimed today in that weeding out I'm doing of my masses of old pix. I have this exact same crop in other colors, as well. One in a lovely lavender. But oddly, given my longstanding leaning toward lavender/purple, I'm drawn to this color today. Maybe because it's a chilly, rainy (yay!) day.

ONLY IN DREAMS

And, as predicted yesterday, here's a brand new photomorph from a brand new pic, "Only In Dreams" (2-28-15 002v6). Lots of fussing in Photoshop on this one, obviously. I kept chasing after something and finally feel as if I caught it. Well, almost, the way one of my dream poems captures a dream. Something of it is here, and something still flying blithely on ahead.
