Happy birthday to me!

My mother made me an offer I could not refuse, if I gave her my 5 year old laptop she would buy me the laptop I've had my eye on for a while. I tried to decline telling her she shouldn't spend that much money on me at which point she said she would just go buy it anyway and give it to me. So off we went to the Apple store and I am now the proud owner of a MacBook Pro.

This is a beautiful machine...17" glossy screen, 2.5 Ghz duel core processor, 4 gig RAM, 250 gig harddrive. I had to install Windows to run Ultra Fractal and Photoshop but that was a fast and easy process using Parallels.

This is my first Mac computer and after playing around for the last 3 days it looks like I'll need to take advantage of the free One to One classes the manager offered .

I'm off to play some more and hopefully will post something soon.

Realism in Fractals

Below are a few of the artists who have created some fascinating, realistic scenes with fractals. I bow to your masking superiority!

This has to be the closest to photo-realistic I think I've seen.

These are just a few of the wonderful images I've been enjoying lately:
