My painting of the Silja Line ferry Silja Star, who later became Wasa King and Estonia. She was formerly called Viking Sally.
-10 degrees in the morning, rain in the afternoon, -10 again at night... the whole city will be a skating rink by tomorrow morning. Christmas can't be far away!
No image manipulation.

First a aknowledgement for the original www.flickr.com/photos/two-wrongs/202447849/ and for his author www.flickr.com/photos/two-wrongs/.
then this is my version maybe just the first one because i really love this Gargoyle so he could pop out again in other forms and with other looks from my photo stream
I am always taken by the magnificent trees in the tropics, including all those epiphytes growing on them; However, it's not easy to take a good picture of them. Here is used the panorama function of my cell phone to capture one whole tall tree; I also improved the background in photoshop to make the whole image more pleasing.

Before the explosion of Scanners,Photoshop and other image manipulation tools, I used to do collages, often using Ephemera such as this. Finding ways to isolate areas that i wanted to capture was a challenge for me back then- often leaving me frustrated with the final result.
Due to todays "Snow Day" in Chicago, and not being able to safely;y drive to my studio (and back) i chose to go through some older files- and ran across these beauties, that I thought I'd share w/ my flickr homies!
The other aspect to these scanned label images is their complete innocence, in the imagery displayed. For not only were these products created to "lighten" the skin of people of color (which I really don't get - White folks want to tan and look darker- people of color want to look "fairer"- ain't nobody really happy w/what they were born with!!) they were created to be marketed (a word that wasn't used back in the '40's and '50's) to a targeted audience....
Enjoy!
For this week's Get Pushed challenge, I've been partnered with the king of image manipulation, SlackPacket, aka Slacko, aka Steven. My challenge is the theme, "unrealistic/realistic". As Steven puts it, "Something that appears to be absurd or visually off. Something that physically couldn't be possible or is oddly out of place in the image."
Hoo boy! This is definitely a challenge as my PhotoShop skills are at a beginner level and my time is a bit limited. But since it was snowing yesterday, I thought I could add just a dusting more. Quite proud of my fake snow and kudos to my lovely hand model!
Now if only I could find a gas mask...

an idea for an image, not particularly happy with the current result, but I have some other things to try out
one of my projects for image manipulation. this one is pretty cute, though I butchered the water-drip effect.. here's the tutorial if anyone has a bunch of time to kill! :D
I didn't create this tutorial, just followed the steps!

CONSTANT DULLAART: JENNIFER IN PARADISE
*Jennifer in Paradise is the name of the first picture ever to be photoshopped. Taken by John Knoll, co-creator – along with his brother Thomas – of the now ubiquitous software, it depicts his girlfriend at Bora Bora, Tahiti. The image was digitalized by Apple in 1988 and supplied as demonstration of the program’s abilities with its early versions. Though initially widespread, it has since become harder to track down. Constant Dullaart’s work can be considered as an early example of archeology of the internet however tightly connected with anthropological approach.
---
Meanwhile John Knoll’s meme image was created on a promise of the utopian paradise of freedom of self determination, Constant’s Dullaart Jennifer becomes a meme again, but this time as a story of the nostalgia of that paradise lost. What constitutes this nostalgia is precisely the naiveté of the former Knoll’s attempt, the not-knowing that what we associate with expression of freedom is only means of oppression. The foolish freedom of the 1990s embedded in cigarettes, consumerism, combustion engines and images.
Jennifer in Paradise embodies not only the belief of image manipulation as an extension of human creativity and consequently freedom of expression, having as its roots so significantly the special movie effects industry. As its subject it also goes together with the best intentions of selling your own wife’s naked body as an advertisement for your designed product. Isn't that almost the truest confession for commodity, the almost literally sexual connection between private life and business?
As Jennifer Knoll herself says: ”The beauty of the internet is that people can take things, and do what they want with them, to project what they want or feel.”
Hadn't the early internet boom started at the very core with the same belief as neoliberalism - with the idea that the freedom of self determination will lead society towards overall happiness?
And what happens to it? Now we have the very tool of surveillance and proactive consumerism. Now we all know it is bad, some still have hopes, but almost no one knows what to do with it. The paradise is not anymore the freedom but oblivion. Like all those people cutting the boredom and exhaustion of their disappearing middle class lives with short travels to the Tahiti-like worlds of their tiny screens. “Prepare to cobble together a financial living doing a mishmash of random semi-skilled things: massaging, lawn-mowing, and babysitting (…) And here’s the clincher: The only thing that is going to make any of this tolerable is that you have uninterrupted high-quality access to smoking hot Wi-Fi.” (Douglas Coupland - BOHEMIA = UTOPIA)
That’s why look backwards with emotions, to that era when we at least didn't know how exploited, oppressed and monitored we are, and we got well paid for it. Now we know and we cannot even enjoy it anymore. Just as Constant Dullaart wrote in his letter to Jennifer Knoll: “Sometimes, when I am anxious about the future of our surveilled, computer-mediated world, when I worry about cultural imperialism and the politics behind software design, I imagine myself traveling back in time. Just like the Terminator, to that important moment in technological world history, there on the beach in Bora Bora. And just sit there with you, watching the tide roll away.”

CONSTANT DULLAART: JENNIFER IN PARADISE
*Jennifer v ráji je jméno první digitálně upravené fotografie. Snímek, který vyfotil John Knoll, spolu se svým bratrem Thomasem autor programu Photoshop, zobrazuje jeho přítelkyni na pláži Bora Bora na Tahiti. Fotografie byla digitalizována společností Apple v roce 1988 a distribuována jako příklad schopností programu společně s jeho prvními verzemi. Přes počáteční cirkulaci mnoha jejích upravených variant se fotografie postupně ztratila a nebylo možno ji běžnými vyhledávači na internetu nalézt. Dílo Constanta Dullaart tak lze považovat za jeden z prvních příkladů internetové archeologie, avšak pevně spojené s antropologickým přístupem.
---
Fotografie Johna Knolla se stala kulturním memem jako zosobnění slibu utopického ráje svobody sebe určení. Jennifer Constanta Dullaart se šíří po internetu stejně rychle, tentokrát však jako příběh nostalgie po tomto ztraceném ráji. Veškeré emoce zde pramení právě z naivity tohoto činu, onoho sladkého nevědomí toho, že to, co považujeme za vyjádření svobody je ve skutečnosti primárním prostředkem útlaku. Pošetilost svobody 90. let ztělesněné cigaretami, konzumem, spalovacími motory a fotografiemi.
Jennifer in Paradise tak ztělesňuje víru, že digitální manipulace obrazu je rozšířením pole lidské tvořivosti a tak i svobody vyjádření. Program má ostatně velmi příznačně kořeny ve filmovém průmyslu speciálních efektů. Jsme ale zároveň svědky toho, že je zde s nejlepšími úmysly prodáváno nahé tělo vlastní ženy jako reklama pro navržený produkt. Nemůžeme to snad považovat za nejvěrnější vyznání víry v komoditu, toto téměř doslovně sexuální spojení mezi soukromým životem a businessem?
Jak říká sama Jennifer Knoll: “Krása internetu spočívá v tom, že lidé mohou vzít věci a dělat s nimi, co chtějí, promítat do nich co chtějí, nebo co cítí.”
Jakoby se zdálo, že původní internetový boom začal ve stejné víře jako neoliberalismus - ideji, že svoboda sebeurčení dovede společnost ke všeobecnému blahu.
A co se z internetu stalo? Nástroj dohledu a iniciativního konzumu. Teď už všichni víme, že je to špatně, někdo ještě doufá, ale skoro nikdo neví, co s tím. Ráj již není svoboda, ale zapomnění. Stejně jako všichni ti, co krájejí nudu a vyčerpání svých mizejících pozic ve středních třídách neustálými krátkými výlety na Tahiti jejich malých přenosných obrazovek. “Připravte se, že budete flikovat svůj finanční život skrze mišmaš náhodných semi-kvalifikovaných brigád: masáže, sekání trávy, hlídání dětí (…) Ale jádro věci je jinde: Jediné co činí tohle všechno snesitelným je to, že máte nepřerušený vysokorychlostní přístup ke kurevsky rajcovnímu Wi-Fi.” (Douglas Coupland - BOHEMIA = UTOPIA)
To je důvod, proč se dívat s nostalgií zpět, do éry, kdy jsme alespoň nevěděli jak využívaní, utlačení a monitorovaní jsme a byli jsme za to alespoň dobře placení. Teď už to víme a tak už si to ani nemůžeme užít. Constant Dullaart napsal ve svém veřejném dopisu Jennifer Knollové: “Někdy když cítím úzkost z budoucnosti našeho počítačemi zprostředkovaného světa dohledu, když mám strach z kulturního imperialismu a politiky stojící za softwarovým inženýrstvím, představuji si, že cestuji zpátky v čase. Tak jako terminátor se přesunuji do tohoto důležitého momentu technologické historie, tam na tu pláž Bora Bora. A jen si tam s Vámi sednu, a dívám se, jak moře v odlivu ustupuje.”

My painting of a classic-looking Scandinavian house from the early 20th century or late 19th century.
Min målning av ett klassikt Skandinaviskt sekelskifteshus.
I decided to play with a photo in the GIMP (that is the GNU Image Manipulation Program, a free photoshop like program). Here is the result. I imported the RAW image and played with the white balance, using linear curves and I boosted the saturation. This lead to a really dramatic, and excessively dark image. I lightened the water to make it stand out more and boosted the red in the logo on the side of the ship. I cloned out two distracting objects and reduced the brightness of the blue box on top and near the center of the boat.
What do you think of the final result? My opinion is that it is a bit excessive, but cool looking.
FROM THE DESK OF LORD HIGH ADMIRAL GUNARHK MOIRAI,
IMPERIAL KLINGON MILITARY GOVERNOR,
OCCUPIED EARTH.
SOL SECTOR.
After the embarassing debacle last Easter (crucifying the molten chocolate coated bunny was an honest mistake; let it go, already!) the Inspirational Media department* in the Klingon Embassy has happily identified a more suitable Earth holiday to celebrate.
I must admit we were initially surprised to find that you humans commemorated the 1929 Chicago machine gun massacre at the Northside S-M-C Cartage Garage
with an annual exchange of diabolical battle-poetry (normally reserved , we would expect, for interrogation purposes) and blood-drawing thorned flower giving.
It only goes to show that we Klingons have more in common with you Earthers than is generally (and I might add, seditiously) thought.
But, where are my manners?
I'll detain you no longer from your festivities. (Just remember to be indoors by curfew.)
Romance, and indeed, primitive chemical explosive driven projectiles, are in the air!
Have a nice day humans. (You just never know when it may be your last!)
Infectiously Warm Regards,
Gunarhk Moirai

...taking the long journey through roiling waters.
My special dedication to Magda & Dan at the beginning of their journey, in calm and beautiful waters.
Bouquet on a Bench -- This was a real bench in front of a hedge of grapevines. Every flower in the vase was one I grew; and I was very proud of all of them. This is what they call a Polaroid Manipulation or Polaroid Impressionistic Print or Polaroid Alteration. Though it says 2003 on the picture, that is just when I was first learning how to put my initials on my photos. I actually took this photo around the early 1990s. In the vase are Shasta Daisies, Hydrangeas, Daffodils, Gladiolas and I'm not sure but maybe a Dahlia, one rose and one iris.
For the Small Town America group pool, I made this photo/art in Brownsville, Linn County, Oregon USA, and at the time, in the 1990s, the population was around 1,258 or so.

This is my desk at Qualcomm. I prefer to use the smaller but a lot higher resolution screen on my laptop as my primary monitor. Most people in the office seem to do it the other way around. Its all a bit old school in terms of set ups... vim running off a command line for coding and FF and there is a Perforce client running and thats it on a good day. On a bad day there might be half a dozen PuTTy screens with multiple vim panes etc, several Firefoxes, IE7. A VM running Windows and IE6. PDFs open in Acrobat for wireframes and docs. The GIMP for image manipulation. Excel for a dumb spreadsheet for text string localisation stuff.... if not more.
The condemned council estate in England.
This estate is so big its going to take 15 years from beginning to end to knock down and build up again, and they are already 7 years in.
Despite the pictures and the way it looks, this really is a nice place, i love this place, and if i had my way i would stop them knocking this place down and build it back up again just the way it was.

Part of an ongoing experiment with image manipulation: The images are the result of a 2 stage process. First, a photo is taken of a moving subject. What results is a blurred image, the distortion magnified by the grain and contrast achieved by overdevelopment of the film in the darkroom. Already the face or body has been transformed by the simple act of movement. Then in the second stage, the photo is printed. Sometimes thick glossy varnish is applied across the whole surface of the image, or alternatively, the photo is simply printed onto glossy paper. This is when more magic happens. Shining light directly onto the surface of the paper, the image is transformed again. This time the transforming agent is light. The surface of the photograph interacts with what is contained within the image. A final photo is taken.
