Don't throw out the babies with the bathwater

I generate a lot of images while experimenting with my new Deep Dream techniques. It is a recursive process, batting the same idea back and forth through different iterations while layering the current results with previous incarnations. Sometimes I get so caught up in the particular end vision that I am chasing, that I fail to recognize steps along the way for unique pieces of art in their own right. On the other hand, if I posted every image I create I would be spamming the blockchain.

Here are some babies I re-discovered recently while moving my working files for the Willamette Abstraction Series (Pt.1; Pt.2) to their own dedicated sub-folder within my Dreaming of the Willamette folder. These are process images from different stages of a variety of different art projects, all starting with macro photography of water ripples on the Willamette River. In every case I am collaborating with a neural network provided by the awesome and free Deep Dream Generator. Original photography, PhotoShop and Deep Dream art by moi.
