Thing-A-Day-2010
Friday, 05 February 2010 20:31

Being creative everyday is tough. Of course, some of that difficulty is self-imposed – wanting to do something new everyday and having no clear plan or focus. Today was one of those uncreative days.

On the other hand, doing Thing-A-Day forces me to get out of comfortable routines and patterns; forces me to actually do something instead of just think about it. For me, it is a good exercise.

Today was not a very inspiring day. I went through all sorts of “junk” in the hopes of being inspired, but ... nothing really jumped out at me. In the end, I decided to photograph a vacuum thermocouple and try to make it into a squid or jelly fish type thing by adding more legs using GIMP. In the end, I just grafted it into a picture of a flower I took last Summer.

A vacuum thermocouple. Give it four more legs and an eye and it could pass as some weird octopus. Give it lots of legs and it might pass for a jellyfish.

A poppy from my flower bed in Montreal.

The overlaid images. Not terribly exciting, but I think (in terms of technique) it came out very well.

Well, if the bees disappear, the flowers will have to get pollinated somehow.

Yes, there is advertising. The web hosting costs $5.95 per month and the domain name $10.45 per year (plus applicable taxes). Hopefully, the ads will, over the course of a year, pay for the cost of the website.
