Computer programming and Impressionism
July 8, 2005 By Leave a Comment
I'm not much of a fan of the Impressionism school of art. I enjoy photography, photographs, photography sites, landscapes and statuary for artistic expression. Since my background is engineering, accounting, insurance and computers, real images (of things, but not necessarily real things) are much more meaningful to me than weird ones from someone's head.<br /> [...]
