Photo Editing: Organized Noise

Paula at Lost in Translation invited Tobias M. Schiel to host her Thursday’s Special challenge, the theme being organized noise.  Please read his interesting and thought provoking post.

I really like the term ‘organized noise’; it has such possibilities.  What rang true for me was Tobias’ comment –

” . . .  there is also the aspect of organizing noise into music – or visual ‘noise’ into pictures. Some sights overwhelm us with their complexity, some with their ugliness or apparent meaninglessness. Nonetheless, I claim that photography can be a means of reducing this complexity, or making sense of the ‘noise.’”

Some know that I like to play with my photos 🙂 and here are some results where I have taken the originally recorded noise in my image and rearranged it and transformed it into something else.  I have also included the original image, except for this first one, which I seem to have ‘misplaced’.
