In general I'm not enthralled with technology. My cell phone is a phone, I don't even text. I use email, and have a website, but I've avoided most of the ipod thingees until now. Youngest son lost his ipod touch after about 6 months of ownership in 2012. We were quite sure he left it on the seat of the old van, unlocked, in an unseemly area. He saved up his money and bought himself a new (to him) one. Fast forward another 6 mo, and lo and behold the old one under his mattress. After some negotiations, I bought the original. A friend from Italy had posted some photos that she had created with an app called 'Percolator'. I had to try it... it takes the most average/bad photos and with some creative manipulating turns it into mosaic like bubbles. I was at the Eno River this AM for a walk in the woods, and took a photo of myself (see2nd pic). In the original, the sunbeam was too bright, and making my dull expression even worse. However, with Percolator, and a little enhancing, it's SO MUCH BETTER. I even rather like it, especially the tiny rainbow bubbles in the sun beam. I took some landscapes too, and they are so cool, especially for seeing the abstract color gradients and textures.... will post more soon.
