Hello All! As some of you know, I was lucky enough to get a seat in Jane Atkinson's IOLI class in Iowa. In her pre-event notes, she asked us to bring inspirational materials to class. My plan was to take the April issue of "Flowers" magazine in which there was an article about X-ray floral photography. The accompanying photos are stunning as the underlying structure of the flowers are revealed. Some pictures are black & white, others are color manipulated, almost kaleidoscopic. Several artists were featured, notably Hugh Turvey. Then lightening struck! I was just sitting here, minding my own business, when I looked at the icons on my iPad. Being tech challenged, naturally I have no idea what most of them mean or do, but I touched Photo Booth. OMG!!! X-ray, kaleidoscope & thermal camera reached out to grab me. These are special effects (there are others) that may be applied to any picture I take. A photo of the eaves of my house turned into a white & tan geometri! c design. X-ray & thermal photos of plant materials resulted in Turvey-esque pictures. So what started out as an inspirational magazine article is now a power in my own hands. If you who want to "do your own thing" with form & color, you may wish to explore this interesting feature of your Apple device. Having heard Sandi Woods' herring story (for Fishies on Dishies), I just had to share this! I can hardly wait to see what sort of lace develops from this experiment.
