Your Profile Picture - The story behind

I forgot to say where my profile photo comes from.
It’s a stock shot taken from a Space/Technology/Future stock photography CD (from before there was istock and shutterstock online) that I’d found at a previous job in their archive. I used this and other photos for releases online as stme and used for CD covers too.
It’s a crop of a larger shot where the guy is standing beside a moonlander.

Mine is the eye of a butterfly. The photo as been made with a scanning electron microscope. Long time ago when i choose my name for gigs, i choose Elena Cortes (i’m a man, but at this time there was no girls on stage for electronic music, so i though that it was a good choice to be enlighted on the flyers :wink: and for the visual art i choose a lot of this kind of photo because the video that occurs during my gig were microworld kind of natural and organic ambiance.

So, i took a lot of these pictures on the web and pass them through photoshop with always the same color process, so i obtain a kind of graphic chart (blue cold purple).

Since i keep it.
