The Conversation

It went like this....

In the first comment box, there are 2 side by side photos.

The one on the left is the original one of some rocks my sister in law painted to look like bugs....very cute.

I thought maybe I could edit them to look cutely spooky for Halloween and the one on the right is that edit.

I thought it was just kind of dumb, so I took it back into editing and tried a number of different filters.

When I got to this one, I clicked on something that reversed black and white.

This appeared.

It stunned me.

In no way had I conceived of it, or seen it. It is the result of completely random clicks.

 

I see a funny looking figure on the right listening to a funny looking fish (?) on the left, but there was something about it that touched me and I find myself really liking it.

 

I sent the photos to my Flickr friend, Amanda, (bird cloud) and in her special way of seeing, she linked the conversation to the process itself, of conversing with the unknown, the unconscious.

And she saw that too in the figure listening to the fish.

I later read that fish, being a water element, are thought by some to represent the nebulous, fluid world of the unconscious.

 

So, in all regards, it's been a most interesting conversation.
