Consider the following picture. It’s one of the bunch I took the other day:
As I myself gazed upon it, I thought it to be an only moderately interesting picture.
“The colors,” thought I, “are dull; and the foreground leaf dreadfully blurry…
“But, hark! What sound doth grace mine ears?
Be this the trick of some small imp?
Nay! Hush, dear heart; Be gone, my fears;
’Tis but the singing of The GIMP!”
The event that had triggered such ridiculously embellished dialogue was the appearance of a small creature carrying a paintbrush in his mouth:
He in reality neither spake nor sang, but the eager look on his face told me he would be delighted to assist me with my image-manipulation needs; and he would do it free of charge!
Working together, he and I managed to ornament the source image thusly:
Impressive work for such a small paintbrush!
I believe there is a sort of hybrid art which exists in the interconnection between the snapping of a photo and the digital editing thereof.
Praise God from whom all pixels flow! (cf. Genesis 1:3)
