For the New Year, everyone is invited to my new "The Art" Gallery

Just for fun I manipulated some of my favorite photos into something completely different. No AI generative fill (there is a separate gallery for that), just application of various filters and other techniques in Photoshop. Initially, a lot of airplane photos as they lend themselves to some interesting effects, but at the end of the gallery there are also some automobile photos from the ‘90s on Kodachrome. More will be added in the future. I hope you get a moments enjoyment from some of my stranger inclinations. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I have found a rather cool response to "manipulated" photography here.

Perhaps your submissions will alter that prevailing attitude!

No. No it won't alter anything.

I've only seen this place blow up once, when our dear Andy enlarged a cat's eyes for a contest. There is a large and vocal contingent that feels that "real" photography only takes place in the camera at the moment of exposure. I was told bluntly, what Andy did "was not photography." I disagreed. Never mind that modern cameras and cell phones do more manipulation in 1/4000 sec than a human could do in a month.

Thanks for you comment!

filtered pictures to you

Perhaps YOU would like this. Took a pic of an old upright piano, imagined it playing ragtime
color filtered it then extracted keyboard portions bouncing around then added sprites..
