The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no vision.

Vision has been handed out in vastly lower numbers than sight it appears. I am really enjoying your vision.
like it Dawn was it a paper eight originaly.
I like the line you build connecting photos and sentences...
I'll be back to find more about your blog.
Thanks,
glad I can share cool :)
this was water drops, the original is in my june archives.
i've taken the idea of using quotes and such from other bloggers. i like finding the right words that fit what i see and feel for each photo.
This is awesome!!! How the heck did you do it? Gorgeous.
This is an awesome picture! Wow! How do you find the quotes that work so well? Stacie
Fantastic! I'll have to go find the original. I love this quote and wrote it down. Thank you!
This is really cool, and I LOVE the quote :)
This is how you do it, passed to me from Wendy who got it from Leesa and so on and so on :-)
Here is the link ...

It looks like a big long drawn out process, but it's really not. All you do is open a picture, (I am using Photoshop ELEMENTS ... a bit different from the link) but, open a picture, go to 'filter', "distort" and choose POLAR COORDINATES. There are TWO choices under the polar coordinates. Choose the SECOND selection: "Polar to Rectangular". Click OK. Then, go to "Image" and choose "rotate" and rotate your image 180 degrees. Then, go BACK to the Polar Coordinates and click on the FIRST choice ... "Rectangular to Polar" .. .and there you have your circle art. Simple!! I find that pictures with more color congregated in the center of the picture make a better choice. The color all around the outside of picture is what will end up being your center color. OH --- and of course, I mess with the colors and the contrasts. I increase the contrasts to make the picture more 'shiney'. I did the same picture a few times, and changed the color/contrast/shadows etc. Just keep messing and you'll see. Oh, and on a few, I applied other filters -- like the blue on yellow circle art - I applied the 'glass' filter and chose 'block glass' ... and others, before I did the final "rectangular to polar' distort -- I applied the "pinch" filter a few times, and pinched in the picture to further distort it before putting it into the final circle phase. I have done about 35 of them so far ... just too addictive for me!! Have fun, and please be sure to share your finished products!!
Hey Stacie, I've been getting my quotes from here http://www.wisdomquotes.com/
when I look at my photos I get a feeling from them, then I do a search of quotes till I find the right one:)
Having just come across your blog, I really like the pictures I have seen so far. Whatever this is, it looks extremely cool.
