Another zen moment - test picture
When you suspend judgement, you can sometimes create a moment of inspiration effortlessly. I took a 
very quick self portrait to demonstrate the color mapping tools that can be added as a plugin for Gimp, the photo editing software for Linux. One snap with a self timer, tweak the color balance in UFRaw, then pop it into Gimp and adjust the red green and blue translation into monochromatic until the desired constrasts are achieved. There are elements in the photo that I’d change if I were focused on creating the best portrait I could. But as is, I liked it enough to replace the picture I was using on my Myspace page (myspace.com/zenbluesharmonica.)
