Warped Dreams

So I was out with dana, my significant other. I don't want to say wife, cause she's more than just my wife. She's my best friend, my inspiration, my sex slave, all rolled into one. It's really convenient. Anyway, that's not what I'm talking about.

So we're outside, looking at the sky (because the Tasmanian sky is always beautiful) and I'm thinking, wow, this is a nice sky. Then I start thinking about ways I would alter it to make it the sky I want. Turn down the intensity of the sun a bit, move this cloud over to the side more, perhaps a slightly different shade of blue--and as I think it, the sky starts to morph.

Ever play with colorforms? Those in my age group might well remember them, even though I haven't seen them in years. Essentially, you have a background upon which you place down flat, plastic figures that fit onto it, creating a scene. Update this about a thousand times, put it on a computer, make it 3D and you have poser, a program with enough free and inexpensive figures available that you don't have to make them yourself--you merely have to add them to your scene and pose them.
