What it means, that is. Just pretty in a surreal way.
Photo manipulation is the creation of a new image by combining and altering existing ones. There is a whole group of artists that create stock just to supply others with images to use.
I enjoy it as it enables me to create an interesting work fairly quickly. Sometimes it’s like composing music by sampling.
So thanks to all the stock providers.

The concept: The overly bright summer sun that practically puts you in a hallucinogenic trance – where your eyes fill with pulsing patterns from the intensity of the sky and the integrity of the sights & colors around you fail.
When I first started generating fractals on a PC it was on a 386 chip running Windows 3.1 sometime in the late 1980′s.
The software was WinFract & it was amazing. And, then too, I was mixing other art into the generated images.
Recently, I came across MandelBulb and… well, words fail. You see the sort of 3D detail it can render. There is a whole world of art produced from it – just Google it.
The fact that I can effortlessly get results like this – the original 3000 x 2000 pixel image rendered on my Core i7 in under 6 minutes – is just a marvel.
