Why am I writing this?:   Because, the next update to the TGO PHOTO CLUB’s website will contain the work of one member (Jim Hennigar) who took the art of sorting, cropping, and editing to the limit of surrealism – yes, even surrealism at the entrance to Hidden Lakes.

Before I posted it, I wanted to get the creative cogs in your brain turning – even if you never have any interest in turning your photography into the art of “Bent Reality” – I believe you will better appreciate the work of other members by getting just a little background into the Art of Photography  – photography that does bend reality.

More on this subject to come – so, check back daily.

First, From “54 reasons……………………” :

#42. BEND REALITY

Along those lines, photography can give you a different look at the world. Photography is just as good at bending reality as it is at capturing it.

#43. ENJOY INFINITE POSSIBILITIES

There are literally infinite possible photographic subjects and an endless road of post processes that can bridge the space between the dream and the reality

#44. ENJOY THE PROCESS

The total process of photography can honestly be super enjoyable,f rom shooting to sorting to editing your images. That is the total process.  Editing is like spending personal time with your photos!!

I love Jim Hennigar’s surreal entrance to Hidden Lakes – You will see it in a couple of days on http://photohappenings.com  But, for now, to explain what surrealism is, I posted three works of photo art that I did in the past using images from my cell phone (some were cell phone photos of magazine images):

See, I used the one above to turn it into this digital-photo - Should I take up cooking instead? What you think?

Running before the storm

While having my morning coffee I ask the question: Did we humans evolve, revolve, or just turn our brain upside down?

Satire – Did we evolve or revolve?
