Today’s TDC says
Invariably I take unintended photos when grabbing my phone or those weird compositions featuring a blurred thumb selfie. Can you make/shae art from an accidental or unntended photo?
I usually delete any blurry pics I take, but here’s a long exposure one I took at the weekend by mistake. It was very windy!

I headed over to Lunapic to artify it

The best part is that the photograph only became interesting after failing at being a photograph.
Blur, wind and accidental exposure produced something worth keeping precisely because they ignored the original intention.
Then software was brought in to make the accident look deliberate.
Art often has excellent hindsight.
