Hordes of Photoshop Jockeys (2000) <\/em><\/p>\n

This one is kind of an in-joke<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Back when I used to post my images on Usenet<\/a> on alt.binaries.pictures.fractals (which were either — pick one — the good old days or the dark ages), there occasionally would be some lively (read: flame-filled<\/a>) discussions. One night, a thread got hot and heavy on the subject of post-processing — meaning, at least in this particular discussion, the further manipulation<\/a> of fractal images by exporting them into Photoshop or other graphics programs. One writer, who obviously preferred his fractals to be unaltered (pure as the driven pixel?), complained that if post-processing became acceptable the fractal art world would soon be overrun<\/a> with “hordes of Photoshop jockeys<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

As someone who post-processes with wild abandon<\/a>, that phrase tickled me. So, naturally, I felt the need to make this image for him and share it.<\/p>\n

Strange. I never heard back from him.<\/p>\n
