So yeah, I just had to give that thing a go myself. Procrastination is a bitch.
Original shot here. If you like this, go watch Burning North's simplified shots to see how it's properly done.
I've wanted to design a Stegosaurus for a while now, and even made a few attempts at it that didn't work out.
I dusted off the idea last month and, this time, things just fell into place. I scrapped my previous attempts and used my Pureland Stegosaurus as a jumping off point instead. You can still see that model embedded in the core of this one.
I also designed a slightly more complicated version that has three additional small plates, in order to make the model look more accurate.
George Kokoris, a.k.a. Burning North was the first to introduce me to Topaz Simplify, a plugin suite for Photoshop. He reworked some of Dead End Thrills' shots, and was kind enough to do some of mine as well.
I'd like to use this one as a flickr backdrop, and use the fact that I'll have to host it in my own photostream to do that, to give the guy some more exposure. Check out his photostream.
The original of this simplified shot is here, for those interested.
Dense fog simplifies my view on such a day. There is a feeling of being 'cocooned' or swathed in a blanket of foam. #cy365 #captureyour365 #windowview Day242
I used Topaz Simplify to add the oil paint effect to a photo I made of the BROOKLYN BRIDGE. Just an experiment.
Another dreary, stormy day made for bad conditions. I turned my attention to subjects right in front of me. Simplifying ended up being a good thing for me to do.

Week 22
Sometimes it can be difficult to have time to take a picture of the week. This week was one of those weeks. But I went out into the woods. I had just a little while for me to take a good picture.
I thought I had a good picture, but when I got home, no one has been really good. I was stressed out to get a good picture, but I think a good picture needs time. Time to get a good kompostion, finding the right light, at the decisive moment.
Instead, I took this picture with my phone, when I was out running with my daughter. To shoot with your phone requires less to perform. The result is technically not as good as having a good image taken with a DSLR, but sometimes the result can still get better.
Here's another view from the back stockroom. The "STP" lettering on the helium tank sign has the words "simplify the process" underneath.

I have a lot of interior design and vintage finds to sell
I love what I do but am out of energy at the end of the day to determine how to expand, to enterprise, to take it to the next level, so to speak
It's time to simplify
We are going to open everything up for sale
I've had a etsy banner done (by the talente Hijiri) for vintage wares for over a year
Haven't taken it to further to actually load my wares and set up shop
I promise
I've gathered some really cool pieces
Sweet and throwback
I love the 50's, the 60's, the 70's
This is throwing myself out there, getting honest, maybe it will help me be accountable.
Peace

Yunnan (simplified Chinese: 云南; literally "South of the Clouds") is a province of the People's Republic of China, located in the far southwest of the country spanning approximately 394,000 square kilometers (152,000 square miles). The capital of the province is Kunming. The province borders Burma, Laos, and Vietnam.
Yunnan is noted for a very high level of ethnic diversity. It has the highest number of ethnic groups among all provinces and autonomous regions in China. Among the country's fifty-six recognised ethnic groups, twenty-five are found in Yunnan. Some 38% of the province's population are members of minorities, including the Yi, Bai, Hani, Tai, Dai, Miao, Lisu, Hui, Lahu, Va, Nakhi, Yao, Tibetan, Jingpo, Blang, Pumi, Nu, Achang, Jinuo, Mongolian, Derung, Manchu, Shui, and Buyei. Several other groups are represented, but they live neither in compact settlements nor do they reach the required threshold of five thousand to be awarded the official status of being present in the province. Some groups, such as the Mosuo, who are officially recognised as part of the Naxi, have in the past claimed official status as a national minority, and are now recognised with the status of Mosuo people.

Develop a deep rapport with nature,
create beauty in your life,
learn to delight in solitude,
cherish silence,
love and laugh,
look at the details,
discover something new,
breathe deep,
and learn to trust that still, small voice within.

Taken a couple of weeks ago downtown Vancouver. A minimalist shot of what it looks like there during the playoffs this month. Game one in two hours!!
My wife and I visited this National Park property on a quiet Friday morning. It was misty and still and we thought this could make a good panoramic. As it happened I was not impressed with it as a photograph and decided to simplify the image using a Topaz program - Simplify. I like the result which is far more interesting than my photographic version.
The building on the left is one of the old hospital buildings on the site. People were brought from ships where there had been outbreaks of disease on the voyage out from England in the 1800's and early 1900's. One of the worst cases was the loss of 100 out of 400 passengers and crew on the voyage and a further 70 in quarantine.
