From innocence, the teens, man hood, the joy of parenthood, success, and to reap all of life's rewards with retiring and becoming a proud Grandfather; I feel truly blessed! Sure, there were many unwanted moments along the way, many of which, time has not erased. Some so devastating that I am amazed I have survived. But, only one wish I have made, and only one wish has been granted, "to be Happy"! Delusional and in denial, maybe; But, I'm glad I did not wish "to be Miserable"! :)
BIO
Someone told me I'm 57 (Now 62) and single. Really? I have always been a child at heart. So it is easy to see why I prefer Faeries! I did not need Peter Pan to convince me to "Never grow up!". Unfortunately, that's not the way our species. So on the exterior, I had to. But, deep within, my child remained. I prefer to be positive, supporting the soft, sweet, and gentle. I paint the world in that light. I'm not blind to the horrors of the world, and I stay sharp to the perils that confront us all. I simply do not allow that to alter how I view the world. I believe "Everything is beautiful", "Lead by example", "Love thy fellow Man", and possibly the greatest truth of all, "You can be what ever you desire, as long as you believe and pursue". I have always love the arts in all categories! I have palyed the guitar for over 45 years and have written over 100 songs. I am a minstrel and enjoy sharing my gift of song. I have dabbled in the visual arts since childhood. I won 2nd place in a High School Architectural State wide contest, and wanted to pursue that field, but somehow got sidetracked. The Sixties! During my middle thirties, I renewed my interests in the Arts and studied most of the Master Artists of oil painting, but struggled with its application. It was during my profession as Programmer Analyst, that I was exposed to CAD systems and its use in design, and found the Media right for me. I started with TrueSpace and CorelDraw starting in the early 90's, but it was not until I retired that I was able to give Art the attention it requires! I truly enjoy Poser and Vue and started to work with these tools in earnest in 2002. But I owe my biggest inspiration and push to Renderosity and all the Artists herein, regardless of their skill levels and talents. This community provides a place for expression and a shared interest > The Love of Art! Thanks for taking the time to get to know me. I hope you enjoy my images. Hugs, Dennis :)

I wish I had a clue just what was involved in doing fractals, I have never done one, but they look just so incredible!! Beautifully done!!
Artzy
WONDERFUL!

Frame and flame are surly new and well made. Nevertheless I would be glad if you put little credit on "Vday-Phr" for everything else. You'll find it on my site, ultrafractal.org and posted on the UF list months ago. Thanks
Ardiva
Cool looking fractals, Dennis!! :)

Thanks Philippe for pointing this out. Indeed the vine concept was taken from Philippe's superb VDay-Phr. I built from scratch my layers (not copied and pasted!) and played with this months ago. After saving a working upr, I was no longer able to recall nor locate Philippe's post. From now on, I will transfer the origins of into all saved upr's - I hope you'll except my apologies Philippe.

Interesting image! I see you are enjoying working with fractals. I like them because its like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna end up with! :) Great work! Now having said 'that' - I had to comment on one of the posts up above regarding giving 'credit' to "someone else" ~ My opinion on this is, that giving credits is a courtesy ONLY and not a requirement by any means! I feel it was rude audacious for this person to out and out 'ask' for credit to be given to them, especially when you have obviously purchased a license for the program you used to create your fractal! Some people have more nerve than I like to think about measuring!
midnightblue
Yeah! You are doing so well with this program Dennis. I love the organic feel to it and the colors are quite pleasing. Keep up the great work!

Whoa! Dennis, my man, you have REALLY gotten the hang of UF in record time! This is an excellent fractal composition and images like this took dunderheads like me YEARS to figure out. Sky's the limit, my friend - VERY well done!
