I've just signed an urgent petition at
Avaaz.org to save the Internet as we know it.
Right now, a new global treaty could encourage corporations to police everything that we do on the Internet. Last week we successfully pushed back the US censorship bills -- if we act now, we can get the EU Parliament to bury this new threat to all of us -- click below to sign the petition:

Week 5 of the 52 week challenge. The theme - eyes.
Using the app...so here's the last one
Possibly
After a break - both for AppIt! and for me - the challenge returns. This time the photo comes from iHeart.
I've avoided iPA for a while, along with a lot of things, because...oh a multitude of reasons. Mostly because I'm aware that I can no longer keep up with much and just posting and not commenting/replying much stresses me out with guilt.
Also, my muse doesn't seem to approve of my mood of late and has gone elsewhere.
Till Appit started.
The photo is of a tree.
Just a tree.
In a field.
...and I couldn't for the life of me decide what to do with it apart from alter its colour etc. But it's turned into a journey of app revisiting and I'm having fun.
week 4 of project 52. the title is 'up'. as usual i am a little limited by my health so it's another indoor shot. this time i'm posting a different image here than on google+ because poor little 'rule of thirds' got no attention last week. i suspect it veered too far away from what photogrpahers consider to be photography. here it is...
taken with the iOS5 camera app, then processed with
'camera+', 'segmentix', 'filterstorm', 'scratchcam'.
I use 'strip designer' for the framing of multiple images and 'iWatermark' to watermark.

The title for this weeks project 52 is 'Rule of thirds', here's an explanation over on Wikipedia. Due to being housebound, the opportunies for a particularly interesting photo are somewhat limited so I though I'd approach it from a different direction.
I was reading an interview with David Hockney in last weeks Radio Times and one of the illustrations was one of his massive images made from smaller parts.
Hockney has a new exhibition opening at the
Royal Academy from the 21st January 2012. There's been a small amount of broohaha about it with regard to him making a dig at Hirst. Here're some relevant links for those interested;

A new way of seeing
Damian Hirst spot paintings...
Enough about where the idea came from, here are the 2 images I came up with;
We've all finished our submissions for the 8th challenge over at Muses' Playground, I was the last to finish and my post is here.
