Trance
I sort of go into a trance when I make fractals. It's a very meditative state. That's how focused I am. It's almost as if nothing else in the world exists. It's a good way to get the mind off things. Not that I have any worries right now. But it at least keeps me from finding things to worry about.
The fractal below is almost like the one above. I just made a few changes. It's a little more chaotic, I think.

I'm Picky
I've noticed I've started to become more picky about what fractals I'll save. I used to save just about anything that looked interesting, but now it seems all fractals look interesting, so I have to keep working until something really stands out. For instance, I've been working for hours on Apophysis today, and have only come up with about four nice fractals.

New Beginnings
Well, good news and bad news. I always start with the bad news first because it's best to end on a good note. So, here goes the bad news: David and I had to reformat the computer so I lost a lot of my fractals parameters. That means that some of my fractals won't ever be able to be manipulated or edited for printing. The good news is two-fold. At least I have the jpegs on this blog as a memory of what I created. The other good news: I think I've improved a little bit in my Apophysis work, so here's to new beginnings and new even better fractal images.
Moral of the story: back-up your artwork in case the computer crashes and you lose everything!
