OPAQUE AND TRANSPARENT

By Marilyn Armstrong on 04/18/2017 • ( 14 )

These days, the word “opaque” is photographic.

I instantly think about layers — transparent versus opaque — and how you can stack them to give an almost 3D quality to photographs. “Opaque” isn’t about life or feelings. It’s about pictures.

So here’s opaque:

And now, transparent.

Yet another thing we have (had) in common! Interesting timing being born on the cusp of Cancer/Leo rising? So you’re a Pisces, Fishface?? ( Sorry, i wasn’t going to say that outside of da Mob!) I’m Aquarius.
– pretty much exactly where your Mercury (the messenger) is located. I’m going to have to look up my birthchart again!
love.

Interesting take on the astrological chart. The opaque then the transparent with your eye going through it.

  I thought it came out pretty cool looking. I don’t do a lot of fancy stuff, but that was fun.

    Was that your astrological chart?

      Yes, it is. I had it for years and then scanned it so I wouldn’t lose it completely.

        Looks really neat. I wish I knew how to read it.

        I used to be pretty good at it, but I stopped doing it quite a while ago. I decided I wasn’t learning anything useful to anyone.

        I studied it years ago and was quite amazed how accurate it was in the lives of people that I did charts for. It was more of an – Ah Ha that’s why that happened.

        It is interesting. But it can also plant ideas in your head. I decided i didn’t need that. I have enough weird things in my head.

        There’s only so much time and I have a lot of demands on it already.

I just goof around with filters and stuff till something accidentally words. Sometimes it’s good. .
But then I often can’t remember how I did it.

  I have the same problem. This is the third time I’ve done this and i had to reinvent it again. If I did it more often, I might remember.
