地球上最強悍双人組之一「NR2154」，是一個科學化到極致的設計團隊，總部分別設於丹麥與紐約，兩人平時都是独立作業，並使用NR開頭的案号溝通，合作視覺標識、書籍、雜誌。2154，是其中一個專案編号，顯示這個設計專案的重要性，永遠以該項目為先。使兩人一戰成名的是聯合囯世界氣候大會Logo。
This lone clubmoss plant caught my eye on a segment of the Ice Age trail. It took a while for me to get the right composition and light, but it was worth it.
What is art? What makes a good photograph? What is a flower?
If you’d asked me these questions a few years ago I would have thought that I had an answer for them all. But ever since then I keep asking myself the same questions, so now I am not so sure…
The trouble really began when I heard someone, whom I respected as a photographer, say “A photograph of art is not art.” That struck a chord with me.
The point is that if you photograph a work of a art then your image is a record of the piece. It’s representational or record photography. Unless…
Unless, of course, the photographer puts themselves into the image, adds something creative to say something. It may be the point of view… or the crop. Or lighting or processing. Or something that tells a story, or evokes an emotion in the viewer that is more than the artwork does on it’s own, or different. Therein lies the potential for art.
Now my real problem comes up (apart from the fact I think too much… and a myriad of other things too, no doubt). I have discovered I like taking pictures of flowers.
It’s partly convenience - I have a garden after all. But it’s mainly because I really like their beauty and variety and colours. I tend to see them (when I am feeling romantic or just whimsical) as artworks created by God when he was having a bit of fun (I realise your mileage will vary on that, but I am sure you see my point).
And the difficulty is that I tend to take images of them centre-aligned, top-down, close-up. It’s a record shot of art aspiring to be my art. I’m cheating.
Which (finally!) brings me to this image. I’m trying to do something different. This is an intentional camera wobble macro of a paeony from my garden taken earlier this year.
I hoping to create an image about a flower, rather than of a flower.
But then… what is a flower, really? What does it mean? What is the essence of my experience of them? How do you convey their perfume in an image or the way they move in the breeze...
For the Mittwochsmakro group this week, and for my 100x project on motion.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Macro Wednesday and 100x :)

Einige Kunstwerke sind es nicht wert, in irgendwelchen Hinterhöfen, Lost Places oder alten Wänden zu versauern. Sowas sollte raus in die Welt. Deswegen kommt es hier auf die Plattform! ...

Here's the answer to my recent abstract post. Simply a glass of water, refracting sunlight onto a vitamin D tablet at lunchtime. Not set up, I just noticed it when I put the glass down. Thanks to all those who had a guess. Happy New Year to you all :-)

Question: What the photographer makes you do if she doesn't like your original pose.
On the famous "rainbow stairway to heaven" in Atlanta, GA last year.
>> Q: Why do your destinations only last 2 weeks?
- A: Because after 2 weeks doing destinations the way me and my staff do, we all need a change, specially me! After 2 weeks I barelly can look at the destination nor be in it anymore, I cannot explain why, its just how I feel and its a deep feeling lol. I have a nomad / gypsy spirit, guesst developped by my late dad, because when it came to trips, one day were here and the next day, there.
>> Q: Why do your destinations only open on week-ends?
- A: Because most of my guests work during the week and I am also extremelly busy with my businesses (RL & SL) during the week, I can barely stop too long in one spot.
Plus, on week-ends, staff and guests are normally home so we can all make sure to have a blast with our guests! They have our full attention for 9am to 6-7pm slt.
>> Q: Why do you do full service destinations?
- A: In 2011, I noticed most people I was encountering in SL had not travelled ever in real life. I have been very fortunate when it comes to traveling, i have always done it my all life and I wanted to show people in SL who had never travelled, how amazing it can be and this is why I opened my first destination in 2011 and each year and as time goes by I always try to find way to improve this virtual traveling! Another reason its because I LOVE roleplay, during 5 years of my life I was addicted to roleplay in SL, in roleplay world such as Gor or Crack Den, I am what many call in the roleplay world, a paragraph roleplayer, I will create stories, weave stories and make full paragraphs that will make you travel in your mind. This side of the grid, there is no such, so I wanted to join both, experience of traveling with roleplay. Thurd reason is because I believe destinations can be a spot of meeting new people and its why in my full service destinations, our guests eat all at same table so they can interact, I have seen beautiful friendships start this way and it makes my heart sing of joy!
>> Q: Why do you do AirBnB destinations?
- A: Because I also have guests who don't liek to interact, which is why I don't have staff in these destinations and guests can enjoy their vacations the way they see fit, since and when there is respect to the destinations rules and other guests so all can enjoy! I always try to see ways to have something for everybody.
>> Q: Weren't BADU destinations supposed to be public ones with vacation rentals only?
- A: Don't worry, they will come back as well, I have so many projects to be done starting this year for the traveling world in Second Life and as usual I will do my best to cover all sides and have a bit for everyone! Keep an eye open!

Before going back to KDON, Don had a few spare dollars he thought worth spending to learn about his future from the "All knowing, all seeing Mama Rat." Booley and Maddy -- never ones to pass up a captive, paying audience -- thought the new couples might like an extra activity to continue growing acquainted with each other. Rat struck the jackpot with gullible Don Buzzle....
Don: [clears voice concernedly after Mama Rat's initial premonition] "Well, that was a bit vague...what do you mean you see darkness looming?"
Rat's daughter Katie quickly speaks up: "Mama Rat says she can study the future more closely---for two more dollars."
Don: "I've got $3 left: How many tarot cards will that buy me?"
