(This is the very first one of these little blue gems I ever shot...can you tell I was excited? :)
Micro (macro) photograph.
The span here across the widest part of this flower from petal edge to petal edge, is 3/8"! See this: 3/8"! That written unit of measurement and exclamation point is as wide as this entire flower is in real life!
These gorgeous, bright blue little rascals don't bloom all that long, and I meant to try my hand at shooting them as micros last year, but didn't. Took the dog out this morning, looked down, and behold! Moo-ha-ha!
Isn't that shade of blue phenomenal? Then you accent it with the yellow, and those green leaves...WOW! More to come of these little beauties. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I do.

The photographs in my set, "Weed Flower Micros," may appear to be close-ups of regular-sized flowers – they are not!
These are micro (macro) photos of tiny little flowers which bloom on ordinary weeds found in my lawn.
How tiny? The largest weed flower in the set is only, when measured across its widest part from petal tip to petal tip, 3/4" in diameter (19mm)!
Some of these miniscule flowers are so small that the entire blossom you are looking at is 1/4" in diameter (6mm)…or smaller! Again, that’s measuring from petal tip to petal tip across the widest part of the bloom!
The smallest part of a weed flower that I have managed to successfully shoot and achieve good detail in is a photo I made of a bud that measured LESS than 1/32" in diameter (0.7mm) across its widest part!
For size references I have included a photo of certain flowers and buds next to the head of an ordinary paper match, which dwarfs the blooms and buds.
It’s delightful to discover the beauty, complexity, and variety in something so small that it’s easily ignored, taken for granted, dismissed as a pest, or just downright difficult to see with the naked eye.
And it’s an even greater delight to realize that this incredible beauty has been growing wild in my lawn, year after year, right under my un-seeing eyes as I’ve repeatedly mown them down with my lawn mower, never realizing the unseen beauty that I was trampling under my feet.
I hope you enjoy viewing these as much as I do. I have a lot of fun making them for us to look at!

Fractions and their Complexities Mathematics, what’s the first thing comes in your mind when you try to study this subject. Most of the students like you get worried about it that how will they solve its complex problems. This only happens when you are not conceptually strong in math basics. Earlier in studies students are not that much serious and because of this they miss out the lessons of initial math which are required while solving complex math queries. So helping you out in all these an online math tutoring website is working on Internet called TutorVista. TutorVista covers all the mathematics topics from initial to college algebra and these are explained by highly skilled online math tutors.

These components are massive in comparison to modern stuff. Found on a gyroscope in FAST (Farnborouogh Air Sciences Trust) Very geeky but I quite like the intricacies of the circuit components. Interestingly you can see the lens correction needed on this Canon S95 on the edges. Need to learn how to adjust that in Lightroom.
Seasick Mama… a woman that defines complexity… an exhibitionist with a dash of reservation. Seasick Mama is a singer, songwriter, performer, and model. Her current EP Dead Like Money has allowed her to “break genres and the traditional expectations of a pop artist” (Ladygunn Magazine). The work truly expresses her desire to not be bound by one idea. Each song stands on its own as a snapshot of our past, present, and future.
Her next EP, Tip Top Shape, produced by David Sitek (TV on the Radio), Sam Farrar (Phantom Planet) and Peter Wade (MNDR) will be released early Fall 2013. This EP takes on a new sound, a new perspective, and an entirely new voice. A collection of fascinating tales and eclectic bliss delivered with a voice that will make you a believer. Seasick Mama is for real.

One frame extracted from audiovisual live performance "Sounds of Complexity", in collaboration with Kinotek. Patches are entirely programmed in VVVV. The sound part of the performance is constituted by the electroencephalographic activity of a person, translated in audible audio spectrum. Such frequencies control in real-time specifical parameters of the visualization.

Objectivity, truth, are tricky. There's the linguistic complexity and the abstracts.
I used to work for an organisation who called themselves 'neoplatonist', simplistically considering that Plato's Ideals existed in the real world, somewhere, and applied themselves to material objects in various ways. Maybe I misrepresent them - but I didn't buy much of their philosophy. One Idea was that there was an Ideal Science. I read the booklet (generated may years before by the Leader of the time, a prolific man, but a man of libraries, archives and words) but made neither head not tail of it in scientific terms. There was no understanding of the Method, or Process, Ideal Science was just a static thing, so - no spiralling round the 'Truth' to get closer to it.
This Order also placed high value on the Will as an aspect of Mind/Intellect. They did indeed show remarkable willpower and staying power since 1947. But each individual Willed towards slightly different objectives, according to character. This could, at times, generate considerable conflict, especially with employees! I thought they paid insufficient attention to the physical body and the 'heart's' emotions. These three (or two if you consider the mind a strange emergence of the body) in fluctuating balance is what is required in my life, sometimes more, sometimes less.
The objective lens of a microscope is the one closer to the Object, the other is the eyepiece, maybe there's something in that. The Eye is further from the real thing which is too small to see unaided. The eye gives perspective, two eyes give distance, the mind extrapolates with imagination.
I like the upper case and the lower case, they can be so subtly expressive.
There is value in examining the past, enjoying or at any rate dealing with the present and speculating about the future.
This is an image of an icy puddle, now employed as background on my laptop. It froze, melted and sank into the mud ages ago, cycling and re-cycling itself. I'm looking at it in a different way, now, and I'm feeling that I could work.
It's a rather bright sunny spring morning, way too much contrasty light for me. So here we have complexity: leaves, twigs and branches and dappled sunlight all over the place.
