8-15-12 Tied to the dock I have been having fun with these Flypaper textures. I applied two textures to this image and also decided on a light vignette to help take out some of the distant distracting elements and to add to the dreamy feeling.

1-30-13 Orchid Abstract - the original image was taken at the University of Washington Greenhouse. I experimented with Filter Forge to create the artistic effects.

1-9-13 Fishing boat fractalius - I used a filter in Filter Forge to create the fractalius effect. This is an effect that can be used with a windows only filter but Filter Forge had one that I had to try. Not quite the same but interesting nevertheless.

2-24-13 Market Flowers - These flowers were taken at the Pike Street Market with the Nikon V1. I used Filter Forge filter that creates fractals. I then blended the image with the original, added contrast, saturation, a vignette, and a frame.
