Bones… part 3…

c 1 copy 2

The artistry of the skeleton.

c 1 copy 3

Such complexity. So many moving parts. So many curves.

c 1 copy

I sort of doubled up on doubling up on the mirror image effects.

c 1

Ooooh… I just noticed… that one is rated: Triple XXX. HA!

Bones… part 2…

Posted on July 21, 2018 by pouringmyartout

a 1

A little digital double mirror image magic.

a 2

I think that was a cat… wait… do cats really have solid ear bones? Maybe it isn’t a cat… or maybe it is an artistic version of a cat skeleton.

a 3

Maybe I should have read what it was when I was getting skeleton images off Google.

a 4

But whatever it is… or was… it lives on.

Bones… part 1…

Posted on July 20, 2018 by pouringmyartout

a 1

Okay, so this is the actual concluding segments of the ‘stick together’ series, where I used a mirror image effect on all kinds of different things.

a 2

And I might get a little crazy with this, just to warn you.

a 3

But when I was looking for images on Google that would be fun to do this with… from, as you may recall, people doing yoga to waterfalls, to buildings and cities and so on… I came across a photo of a skeleton.

 

These examples of what is to come just show how many ways you can mirror image one human skeleton. This is without resorting to doubling up on the mirror image effects… or using a photo of more than one skeleton.

a 4

But there is just something about the skeleton, with its intricacy, the curves of the rib cage, that made me want to try this.

a 5

And let’s not overlook the animal kingdom. Oh yeah, we could have fun with that… although it is making the crack squirrels that live in my head a little nervous that I am talking about animal skeletons. I may have to finish this with some squirrel bones!

a 6

I better stop for now. They are scampering around up there like… uh… rodents on amphetamines… and I am worried that they might damage something.

Stick together… part 61… cities… part 8… San Francisco… part 5… this is it, the final chapter!!!

Posted on July 19, 2018 by pouringmyartout

a 1

This is it, the very last of the posts in this weird, mirror image effect series.

a 2

Okay, technically, that isn’t true.

a 3

I have an idea for a a cool way to finish it, and I have already started collecting photos from Google images.

a 4

But I have decided to start it as a new, shorter series, with a new name.

a 5

And it will be nowhere near as long as this series.

a 6

And, if the images come out as good as I think they will, I might do some triple or quadruple mirror imaging effects.

a 7

Because who doesn’t love those, right?

Stick together… part 60… cities… part 7… San Francisco… part 4… wait! Is that a robot vampire wearing a top hat in the middle of that first picture???

a 1

Maybe. Sort of. Not on purpose. But it is a cool time lapse photo of Lombard Street in San Francisco, done with a digital mirror image effect.

a 2

Lombard Street is another icon of the City by the Bay.

a 3

If you have been to San Francisco, you probably went to see this street.

a 4

It is, supposedly, the twistiest street in the world that people actually live on.

a 5

All I know is that it looks awesome in either mirror image or double mirror image.

a 6

Or at least I think it does.

a 7

I am still having fun with this, but as I said, we are almost at the end. Just one or two more posts about San Francisco…

a 8

And then we are moving on to the big surprise finish.

Republicans, deregulation, and the gutting of the Environmental Protection Agency… wait… even climate change deniers have to drink water and breathe air, don’t they???

I mean, even people who refuse to believe that we are warming up the planet with our pollution and think that science is a hoax still understand that pollution is a bad thing, right? Yes, it might be good for some businesses in the short term, like coal companies saving money by being allowed to dump coal sludge directly into rivers and streams, but we all remember Flint, Michigan. Surely this is short-sighted at the the very least.

Do the republicans really want total deregulation? Have they seen pictures of the smog in China? Do they know about the huge raft of plastic floating in the middle of the ocean? Do they want their children to be able to go outside without oxygen tanks or drink water that you can actually see through? It seems like they are so caught up in their little victories that they are missing the big picture… on so many levels.

Stick together… part 59… cities… part 6… San Francisco… part 3…

Posted on July 16, 2018 by pouringmyartout

a 1

Cable cars and Victorian houses, two things that you almost have to associate with San Francisco.

a 2

Now I sort of want to do some mirror imaging of just Victorian houses… but I won’t.

a 3

I mean, not on purpose.

a 4

But they have all those cool embellishments.  My kids always called them ‘gingerbread houses’.

a 5

There is a place or two in the city where the cable cars need to be turned around at the end of a dead end street. These, in America, are what we call roundabouts. That is not what the English mean by roundabout. But they don’t have cable cars.

a 6

The cable car crews turn them around by hand, on a big, rotating wooden platform.

a 7

I knew the brickwork around the roundabout would look good in a double mirror image.

a 8

That one might be a metaphor for something…. hmmmm……..

I have to admit, tRump supporters scare me a little…

I mean, they really are willing to overlook almost anything, as long as they feel that they are getting at least one thing out of the deal. The really sad thing is that most of them won’t. The little tax breaks will be eliminated shortly. Their health care will get worse. There won’t be a wall built. They won’t get a denuclearized North Korea. The coal jobs aren’t coming back. Things won’t be cheaper to buy. And guess what, America isn’t going to go back to being mostly white people who feel entitled to be in charge.

Sorry, you sold your soul to a flim-flam man.

Stick together… part 58… cities… part 5… San Francisco… part 2…

Posted on July 14, 2018 by pouringmyartout

a 1

There are so many great views of San Francisco that would be fun to do mirror images on.

a 2

So I am going to try to limit this part to just two or three more posts after this one.

a 3

Then, I have a weird idea for how I am going to end this whole series.

a 4

It is going to be weird.

a 5

Oh yeah, double mirror image.

And then we can get back to… uh… other weird stuff, I guess.
