Start off with the distortion filters in photo shop and just go crazy for a week or two, you'll begin to get a handle on what each one does alone and in tandem and like that. If I tell you any more I'd have to put a "contract" out on ya! ;-)) Happy that you like and appreciate the work!! Montie >>Hi Montie, Most amazing? Certainly when one has absolutely no concept how you made such smooth? I'll call them "transition??" Photo images! I find them extremely unique and moving. Given my lifetime of photography as a photojournalist I have never in all my years tried this "wild" and fascinating photo technique? Quite interesting and magical to say the least. Without question they certainly appear to have been by a fine photographic craftsman. So good Sir. If you have some free time may I ask you send along how such unique images are created? That is of course, it isn't your personal technique only known to yourself? I'm so affected by your results I wouldn't mind having a shot at trying my hands at attempting a few?????????????????? :-) That is providing I don't have to re-build my old darkroom?????? :-) And you are the sole owner of the technique requiring a great deal of paper work for permission?? Thank you most kindly! cheers, Dr. ted grant O.
