Thanks, Pat.

This argument will not go away it seems.

All I can say is, "As photographers, we don't deal in reality!" When are we ever going to realize the fact that photography is "real" art?

What is reality, but our perception?

We each live in our own reality, and see our world accordingly.

And yet we still judge other peoples view of the world, wanting them to see it like we do.

Photography is both a process and an art.

Drawing is also the process and an art.  As is painting.

Photography is a real process.  The result is real art.

I have written some software that addresses some of this concern. I wrote it years ago with a friend of mine, Bill Zuk, professor of Art Education at the University of Victoria. He had shown me a keyword breakdown of pictorial strategies he associated with creating art. Words like transformation, juxtaposition, fragmentation, divide etc. I suggested that perhaps I could write a program that could use mathematical formulas to alter and break images up into a varied stream of art pieces. We ended up calling the software the Pictorial Continuum. If you are at all interested in creating unusual abstract art from any image but particularly photographs as source material 'for the continuum' check out this web page where you can get a demo copy. Works on any Windows laptop or PC. http://paulmarcano.com/pictorialcontinuum/

Wow.

I quickly visited your sample images and came away suitably impressed.

Something to consider.

Are you going to develop a program that is comparable with a mac platform?

No, sorry Simon, I actually developed it on a Commodore Amiga system originally in 1990, then met a PC programmer much later who we paid to translate it to the Windows Platform, it cost a significant chunk of change which we never recovered enough to consider translating it to another platform.

Hello Paul, I purchased your program but when I tried to download the window said "Page Not Found" and I couldn't locate the download link to try it again ...... could you help me with that?

Thanks Larry, I just updated the download page and sent you a link via email. Have fun!

Thank you .... Cheers, Larry
