Ed Algra, born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 1930, now living near Rotterdam. My education was a technical one, I came by accident to artistry, although I always had much interest in art, photography and music.Â
I’m a retired chemical engineer, worked at a research institute on mechanical properties of plastics and composite materials. I heard of fractals for the first time in the late eighties, and then read the well known books of Prof. Hans Lauwerier and other authors on this subject. At that time I also attended a Fractal symposium at the Technical University Delft, where Benoît Mandelbrot and some other prominent authors revealed the secrets of this new mathematical world. The pictures they showed made an overwhelming impression. Years after that, after my retirement and the connection to the web in 2005, I discovered what had happened in the meantime, the birth of a new kind of art, based on fractal concepts. Then it became a creative hobby for me. Both the mathematical and the artistic side of it have my interest.  Especially Ultra Fractal offers the possibility to write your own fractal math codes, and I love it to do so. I started Renderosity uploading on instigation of Arend Nijdam, aka “Fractelaar†in September 2005.

Excellent !

A very nice MB creation. If properly centered it it becomes a cross eye 3d picture. RS

Excellent mix, nicely done Peace

Thanks Lenord. It isn't really a mix. I imported MB as an image in UF, using my own version of image.ucl and mapped it with a transformation formula: 'foxtrot.uxf'. So I used only the mapping facilities of UF (and in some cases also the possibility to combine layers). These days I shall have a serious look at both the modified image.ucl and the 'foxtrot' mapping formula. When they satisfie me for 100% I shall publish them on the UF formula database.

A wonderful and elegant tribute.

Opnieuw een heel mooie MB fractal! Origineel patroon en bij het inzoomen bemerkt men pas de vele, fijne details!

I always like it how in your renders you show a certain repetitive pattern which is then broken by a different pattern in a corner of the image.
Lots of rich detail here as usual. Love this.
