2006 -- To think that for the past two years I have spent hours and hours painstakingly creating kaleidoscopic and mandala-like images from my photos. When all along, apparently, there was a plug-in called Kaleidoscope for PS. After all, the joy of creating my montages was in the process, as well as in the final product. But now, here is this instant, beam-me-up-scotty mode that makes nice designs in about three clicks. I promise myself to not always resort to such impish behavior, but gosh, it's fun - like having 100,000 different-flavored jelly beans all at once!
