Project 365 d-132

     Sometimes you just have to break the rules in order to make art. This proud little daisy was wonderful enough just the way God planted in the fertile soil. Upon viewing my images from today; I knew almost instantly that it stood out from the rest, and I was excited to get this image to its final stages. It is usually very satisfying to put my little white simulated matted around my daily photo and stamp a title and signature on it as my personal approval. Well during my editing time with today's image, an accidental move of a editing slider made my eyes open wide as the words "That's cool!" escaped form my lips.

     As I continued to move sliders to push it even farther; I continued to see this little daisy evolve into a psychedelic vision of sorts. There was a nagging voice in the back of mind telling me that this should not be happening. I was breaking the rules and this image now was beyond the bounds of true photography. "What a bunch of nonsense," I thought back against these negative thoughts. A painter paints what a painter wants and who is say that is out of bounds? Why should photography be any different. After all, the first audience I need to satisfy is myself. If any others decide to fill the stands out of a love for my vision that is fine too. I love the way it looks, and decided to put my signature on it and call it today's image.

Happy Shooting.
