The kind of stone ledge Steve might’ve been sitting on in Chapter 24 … It’s a volcanic basalt boulder known as rhyolite.

Another iteration of a very useful photo … even a simple software program such as Preview can change and change and change an original. But only, in my experience, if the original photo had depth and variety.

This is a screenshot of a Adobe’ed artwork by an artist I don’t know. PS, a friend, did the Adobe-ing. It’s so easy these days to lose sight of the original artist.

Or conversely, our attitude can be that we’ve launched our art to do its work in the world.

Borrowed this from a previous project for its fit. A dream landscape. I love how a photo can be totally transformed … this was once a drinking glass containing some kind of bubbly. Now it represents Joe Loreno’s idea for how his trees are going to look.
