DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF A DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH? Often, I see on the "Bones" TV Show, Angela does magic with her computer and makes the photos dramatically clearer...

 Sure, that's FICTION but I find it Inspirational... What IF I re-sampled the image twice the size and used math averaging to create new colors between pixels? Somehow, that doesn't work... I also tried Re-sampling 2X, making two layers, averaging one, sharpening the other and blending the two 50-50... Nope, that doesn't work... 

Maybe if I re-sampled TEN TIMES the size... If i could just learn this technique I could store it as an automatic series of actions... and then, Just like Angela, I could click a button and reveal the clue! 

I had a great teacher at Humboldt State University. Merle Wayne Knight taught Graphic Design, Computer Art... He passed away from Pneumonia.

Merle said that we ought to learn how to draw with pens and pencils first, then scan those drawings into the computer. That way our art would look Unique. People who only use the computer all look the same, boring and unsellable as graphic artists for customers.

Why would they Hire YOU as an Consultant Artist when they could simply get someone inside their own corporation to do a "good enough" job?

Photoshop Tutorial: Create a Rainbow Heart... or ANY Heart... Using Transform and Polar Coordinates Distort


How to create a Rainbow Colored Heart Shape.



Create two Layers. a Nature Scene as background...
The other a Gradient Fill...
Select Gradient TOOL,
Place mouse in the lower left corner of the image and
click and hold... then drag to upper right hand corner. release.


Select Edit; Transform; Perspective and click.


Click and Hold Bottom left corner and
drag it to the center of the image. release.
Click on the Check Mark at the top, center of the screen.


Select Filter; Distort; Polar Coordinates; click
Click on OK when the popup asks if you want rectangular.
Move heart to a pleasant location...

Of Course, the layer you do the "Heartification" to may be any rectangular image.
Portraits of people end up looking oddly distorted... Abstract Art is often wonderful...
The heart shape can be enhanced with a layer style... bevel and emboss and outer glow...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A variation on the Theme:



Using Edit; Transform; Perspective...
Drag the lower left corner all the way to the lower right...
Creating a double Pyramid Layer.





Then Filter; Distort; Polar Coordinates;
click OK on the popup... Rectangular.

This leads to experimentation on the subject:
"What happens when I use Perspective Transform
moving the lower Left UP to the center of the SIDE?

and...

What happens with Polar Distort from
Circular to rectangular?

Big Wave Surfing ART... and Photos of Eureka's North Jetty

My interpretation of surfing done in the computer where 
there is an automatic math function that "waves" any image.

Inside the Tube
Organic Waves...
Splashing over the North Jetty of Eureka. 
Many days you may walk on this concrete...
THIS WAS NOT ONE OF THOSE DAYS.
Underwater after wipeout... looking up at the wave
Surf the Web
Fish Surfing a Wave
These waves destroyed the concrete jetty. 
Note that it is missing from right hand side... Swept Away...
This place is great for Jet Ski towing a Surfer and Board
out to the mouth of the Channel between the North and South Jetties.
It is a very long ride and paddling out would be just too much exercise.
Here is another day when it's a good idea to walk on the beach where it is safe.
That's me... My Friend took this photo and she was up 
on the SAND DUNES where you never are in danger. SMART!
Tsunami Tidal Wave Art
It's all done using MATH... 
The reason a breaking wave looks the way it does is PHYSICS... 
and one thing MATH does really well is describe PHYSICS. 
Seagull Wave Clouds
Tropical Flowers, a Tiki God and Sue Nami

Fish Swimming Against the School
MAO had a famous quote "The true revolutionary will swim thru the people like a fish in the sea." What I believe he meant was... While the revolution is being realized it would be best to stay low profile so the old regime's police force will not notice you and throw you in jail... 
Just the opposite of what this illustration shows.
I wonder what LMAO would say...

Why would anyone Watch Television? It's all Corporate Brainwashing.

You could Be HERE Now if you lived in Northern California. HERE is Clam Beach looking at Trinidad Head... Humboldt County.
Stop Watching Television... Perky Pat
With Netflix, Facebook, Youtube, Photoshop and Google...
Why would anyone Watch Television?
and Farmville!
The GOAL of Television is to sell advertising time... The most common ads are for Booze and Cars... It makes me MADD to realize that they are promoting Drunk Driving...

and selling concepts... Like: We need to spend a fortune on Weapons of War.
and they do it by reporting DANGER, DANGER, ALIENS APPROACHING!
Fear of Strangers is used to Sell. Sell, Sell.

Since defense contractors do not sell to the general public they market their goods by making Everyone Believe in Endless Global War... And that way, the US Congress can award vast fortunes with Constituent Support. 640 Billion Dollars in 2014... "It's what the Sheeple Want!"

I have not watched Television since 1/20/2009... and it feels good to not let them rent space in my mind... I get my News from Google... They allow me to select what subjects to read about. That's better than letting Others Select For Me.

TV Sells Endless War by Pumping Fear into our Brains.

The Possibilities are Truly Endless...
Rant about Airport Security... It seems like the Government is using "fear" as a tool to control the masses... increased spying, strip searches, brainwashing, mind control and that totally contrived event of 9/11/2001...

We Successfully got my wife onto her flight to Delaware for a week with her family. As we were driving into the airport, there was a sign stating... "threat level orange"... She asked me, with fear in her voice, what does that mean? I replied "It means the government is fucking with your head, everything is all-right"... This hit me at the biological level and made me angry. Someone was causing my woman to be afraid... without good cause... As a human male, it offends me greatly to have someone hurting my mate. That is a basic biological fact.

I'm of the opinion that 911 was a staged event. The US Government either caused the crime or allowed the crime to happen. WHY? In order to sell more weapons. Here are some troubling unanswered questions.

Question 1. Why did the US Air Force and NORAD fail to protect the country from attack??? They had over an hour to respond after the airplanes were hijacked. It was 55 minutes between the time the first airplane crashed into the World Trade Center and the time the missile hit the Pentagon. How is it possible that the entire US Air Force did nothing? According to the 911 commission they were all in Canada playing war games. Practicing what to do in case of an attack from the Soviet Union... Quite bogus... We haven't been enemies of the USSR since the Berlin Wall came down... Why was the National Reconnaissance Office practicing what to do in the event of an airplane crashing into their office building ? They had the fire drill on the morning of 9/11/2001...

Question 2. Why did World Trade Center building SEVEN fall down? No airplanes hit it... there were random fires of office equipment and flooring in that building... It is a 42 story skyscraper that fell down in what appears to be a planned controlled demolition... How did the demolition crew know a week in advance that they should place explosives to demolish that building???

Question 3. Who profited from the insider trading that happened a week before 9/11/2001 ??? According to the 911 commission report, the wall street insider trading did happen, Al-Qaeda did not profit and they did not say who did...

Question 4. Why are some of the supposed hijackers still alive? 9 of the people accused of the crime have been interviewed on television stating that they were falsely accused... go figure... How is it possible to interview a dead person??? Could it be that the names of the hijackers were bogus ? Like bogus WMDs ? Like bogus Yellowcake Uranium sales?

Question 5. Where is the plane that supposedly crashed into the Pentagon ??? There is no photographs of the airplane... none... go ahead... find a photograph and send it to me... It magically disappeared... 

This is Your Brain on Photoshop. Any Questions?

One question... 
Why did Photoshop put so much effort into creating PSYCHEDELIC EFFECTS?
Warp, Outer GLOW, Liquify... Distort... make it easy to Trippify an image.




Button, button, who's got the button?

Parking Lot at Utah Rainbow Gathering

Actual Fake News Documents leaked to Rachael Maddow show. It was a trap designed to discredit MSNBC. Who did it? Who Benefits?

Someone created in Photoshop fake NSA documents and emailed them to the Cable TV news show Rachael Maddow. They were high quality fakes but the TV station caught on to the fraud before being suckered into broadcasting the lies on TV. The people who made these fake documents were likely to be Trump Supporters that want to put Rachael off the air. Hooray for Freedom of the Press.

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show

Maddow to news orgs: beware of forged Trump Russia documents!

Rachel Maddow explains how an ostensible top secret NSA document submitted through the show's inbox is likely a fake, and points out the perils of such forgeries to news organizations trying to report out important stories like the Trump Russia story.

The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.


During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
