Experiments!

Abstracts are okay but, Im findng that I really like taking a photo (non copyrighted of course) and using just one aspect or feature of it... and making something totally different out of it. Currently I'm experimenting on trees. The way they turned out in the 2 walls Ive made look absolutely NOTHING like the original photos. It's hard to find just the perfect image. Then again its good not to. The ones Ive used so far have been kinda... ehhhhh til I got them in Gimp and took out the unsavory bits and added what I wanted and got it how i needed it to look. If it already was exactly how i wanted it and I didnt do anything to it, well that wouldnt be very original would it? One might consider that stealing. What next i wonder.. maybe Ill photograph that big old oak outside with all the spanish moss on it. hmmmm.
