About the images, part II

After I discovered that it’s possible to make image galleries quite fast and easily with WordPress, I’ve decided to give it a try for good. My initial idea was to make single posts with single images, one a a time, and with the selected images and new stuff it would keep me busy and the site alive for quite a long time even with the now “smaller” number of images that deserve to be posted. But then I learned about the galleries possibility, so I’ll be probably doing some posts in gallery format and other in the individual posts format.

As I’m still learning how to use this new blog format, things might get messed up occasionally, but I’ll try to make stuff while I’m still learning the tricks.

About the images, part I

I’ve decided to send the images I didn’t like to the fractal heaven, and some images are now gone. I’ve kept those that really interest me, who cares if it’s a simple spiral, or a 256-colour image made in Fractint? I am the first person that must like my work. If I don’t like it, probably others won’t. I don’t work for the masses, I don’t work expecting public admiration (although I must say it’s quite nice when you’re invited for an exhibition at the Lincoln Center as I was…) neither to be popular at Deviant Art or something like that, I don’t make fractals based on how many comments they will get at some community site. I just do this to please myself, first and foremost.

But what is a fractal, you may ask me.

Restarting…

I’m trying WordPress as a way to make it easier to update and keep a fractal site. I’ll do occasional posts with an image (old ones will appear first, I guess) and comments about how it was made, software used, etc. at least once a week, and hopefully this will make it less boring to keep things updated. HTML coding is quite boring when you have about 1200 images to work with. Also there will be some short posts about something that is fractal related every once in a while.
