My wife and I just had the interior of our house repainted. I took that as an opportunity to replace the more-than-twenty-year-old corkboard with a new one. I thought I'd give you all a peek at it.

2025 Collection

Every year, I gather up the "art" photos that I have taken during the year (the ones that are posted here "On the Cork Board"), and from them I select the ones I think are best. I call this group of photos the "yearly collection". These are the photos I enter into exhibitions, display in public, and generally let people see.

Here is the "2025 Collection". I hope you enjoy it. (Note that the "2025 Collection" physically exists as a set of prints.)

Altered Images 2022-2023 Collection

When I retired from a career as a computer programmer, I decided that I wanted to figure out how this digital image processing stuff worked. So, I downloaded Microsoft Visual Studio and began to learn how to do image processing using the C# programming language. I started simply. My first program read in a color image file and converted it to black-and-white. (Actually, that's more complicated than you might think.) As I progressed, I began writing programs that converted photographs into images that were obviously not straight photographs. These programs were mostly learning experiences, but I found that I liked the results of some of them. So I began to keep some of these "altered images".

Now, at the end of each year, I take the "art" shots that I've made during the year, and I run them through my various programs. Then I select the best of the results. I usually keep around 20 good altered images per year. As usual, I print them out, and I post them "On the Cork Board" during the year.

When I have several years' worth of altered images, I make a best-of-the-best Collection, like the Collections I make from my straight photographs. This post is a Collection of the best altered images from 2022-2023 art shots.
