Owner of Tuffy, the pug: this might catch your attention: http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/photo-themes/36408-kaleidoscoping-addicting-2.html - Page 1 is slightly less interesting, as most links to photos are gone from that page, but there are still some on Page 2.

That's interesting. I haven't seen that before. My stuff really isn't quite the same thing though.. It's not a program I'm using but rather a series of processes I have come up with. While it looks similar to a kaleidoscope the process is quite different. The original image (in this case a guitar) is cropped to smaller images and then they are flipped horizontally and vertically. Also the cropped images are copied as mirror-images. Finally, I re-assemble each piece to create the new image. It takes quite awhile to produce one picture this way. I've done about 8 of them. sometimes they just don't seem to work very well; but other times I am very pleased with the finished image.
thanks for pointing out the kaleidoscoping posts. they can be very interesting


Here's another one. The line between negative and positive space is now getting blurred

You did the same to your guitar photos as we did to our "kaleidoscopes", as they were all created from just one photo, too, using Photoshop and your methods: flipping, mirroring, etc.

Thanks for sharing the cool thread; I'd never seen it. I used to do a few of these but haven't done one in quite a while. Now I'm wondering if I could find any of the ones I've done.
It's a shame so many of the links in that thread are broken.
