More toys to distract me from my real work

Diptych, Onions Hockneyized

So Flagrant Disregard has made a nifty new toy that applies the “Hockney” treatment to an image, by cutting it up and placing polaroid frames around the parts. I first became aware of this via Zen‘s fun explorations of the tool (e.g., here and there), including fun multiple applications of the tool.

I of course had to give it a go and wandered through a number of things to end up with the images above and below; you may make of them what you will. I started with the flower image below, went through multiple applications of the toy (3), and then played lots with the colors in Photoshop. Too much fun!

Looking for suggestions on photos for PRCA

PRCA candidates mosaic

WeatherGirl and Athena at the PRCA have suggested that I prepare some photos for display/sale at the PRCA. This then leads to the wonderfully difficult task of choosing, and I’d love some assistance.

Based on feedback from my sister and WeatherGirl and response from people on Flickr I’ve put together a set of 36 candidates. If you have a spare moment it would be great if you could have a look at them and suggest 3 to 5. (We don’t want to print too many in our first pass.)

Having never done this before, I can’t say anything terribly concrete about what I’m looking for. It would be nice to include a few that we think might sell, not so much because we have any fantasy about getting rich off this deal (we’ll be lucky to cover our matting and framing costs) but because sales generate revenue for the PRCA. On the other hand, I’m definitely not planning to choose based solely on ideas of “sales potential”.

Also, feel free to suggest pictures beyond the ones in the set; take the set merely as some suggestions.

Thanks for your help!
