Visuals II: benign demon
Yesterday I was downloading some pictures to ‘iPhoto’, which is the photography software for Macintosh. I was deleting and organizing some photos, but the software started to screw up and pixellate on a few of them.
It pixellated selectively, warping only photos from two specific sets. I clicked away, clicked back, and they changed. They changed color and concentration. And actually… it looked pretty cool. I exported a picture to desktop but it came out as just a regular photograph. I couldn’t print it messed up either, there was no way to save the anomaly… except to get out my camera and take pictures of the pictures. So that’s what I did.
iPhoto is acting normally now. I guess you could call it a technological malfunction, but I prefer to believe an artistic spirit possessed my comp for a short time, and I managed to capture a souvenir of the visitation.
Which proved colorful.
Dr Doom or little Red Riding Hood? ^.

Some look like sand paintings. Some remind me of paint-by-number that was never finished and then faded a whole bunch. They are cooler than cool.
