Rhodes, Greece
An honest-to-goodness Spring day today! 75°F here in California.
If I don't think of something to say on this page soon, I'll be faced with
posting three or so pages of winter photos in the Spring. Or waiting until I
return to Europe, and composing pages in suitably shivery temperatures
there.
Whee... this stuff works in soft-focus too. Claude M. Pioneered the way
again.
An entire page of nothing but impressionist silliness today - the visual
equivalent to an all-jam musical set.
It might be that such a mass of swirly reflections will simply dull the
visual palate.
If so, try choosing one or two to savor at a session. (Or ignore the whole
thing until I post something sensible.)
For years I have said that many visual effects that we achieved chemically
in the 60's are commonly done digitally now.
I clean neglected the most venerable method of all: optically!
OK for tonight.
More Rhodes to come, some of it actually representational.
