Being that it is a special day as a Leap day I thought I would share something fun that you can freak out your colleagues, friends, and family. You can alter your images using some Google technology to make them into weird, trippy, freaky, and sometimes disturbing creations.The technology is called DeepDream and creates things most might see at psychedelic music festival than an art gallery.

Here is a an example of some cattle I photographed in Kenya and the resulting DeepDream creation.

DeepDream (look at the full size)

Check out the freaky Mount Hood photo with faces and hidden animals. Can you spot the lizard on the ridge?

The algorithm seems to put weird freaky animal faces all over in my testing. I uploaded a photo of my daughter, but that was so disturbing with animal faces all over and her face distorted that if I were to post that result she would surely kill me.
