Kaleidoscope #501


People think dreams aren’t real just because they aren’t made of matter, of particles. Dreams are real. But they are made of viewpoints, of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes.
― Neil Gaiman

And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been.

Below is the original photo used to create this image. A lovely winter sky, taken from my own driveway one bright morning. No special lighting or retouching, just a snap from my smart phone.

Kaleidoscope #498


May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
― Neil Gaiman

 

 

 

 

Below is the original photo used to create this image. I saw this beauty of a sunset on my way home from work and actually pulled over, got out, walked two blocks and crossed a bridge to take this pic. Ah, the sacrifices I make for my art… No special lighting or retouching, just a snap from my smart phone.
