Some deep bodies of water reflect space. Others also reflect time.
As a kid, one of my favorite pastimes was to drop pebbles in our backyard pond and watch resulting ripples travel the surface. Ripples fascinated me –they still do. To watch them ardently is to watch the flow of time… flowing undulatingly never to return to the old moment… bending light and simmering the reflection as if it has its own gravitational power. I learned how to alter their speed… yeah, control time, if you will. Watching the ripples intently with all my attention would slow them down (it took them ‘much longer’ to travel to the end of the pond), while letting my thoughts wonder would speed them up. Sometimes, ripples originating from two independent incident (in time or space) would collide silently, and geometrically, creating traveling rhombuses and parallelograms of all kinds. Occasionally, when a hungry duck bobbed its head in and out of water, concentric rings of ripples would be generated where each wave would be followed by another… a multiverse of time chasing time!
I shot the above image more out of habit than any scenic compulsion. The sky only had dark wet clouds and no siren’s colors. The scene was nice, but the light was not ‘epic’. Therefore, this image languished in its (perceived) ordinariness for almost two years. But tonight, wanting to process something related to reflection (don’t know why), I pulled this image out. Processing this image took me back to my childhood ripples… those old memories of trembling reflections in the water, traveling rhombuses, and the dunking duck creating a multiverse of moments chasing each other.
Some deep bodies of water reflect time. Others antedate them.
The reference was a piñata cake stuffing. I love the colors, the shapes, the light and shadows. Digital Procreate painting.
The Multiverse light sculpture by Leo Villareal is on display at the moving walkway at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. It is one of the coolest light shows that I have seen. The 40,000 light emitting diodes are constantly changing patterns as you move down the walkway between the East and West Gallery. Unfortunately, will only be there until November 2009. It would make a great permanent addition to the gallery.

....or multiverse.
Shot with FE 55mm f1.8 ZA, at a mere 281g.
Gear nuts loved to complain about this lens and take pictures in broad daylight at wide opened apertures against a high contrast background to support their highfalutin assertions that LoCA (Longitudinal Chromatic Aberration) is this lens’ achilles heel. Gear nuts are probably also mostly “purists”, non believers of the art of post processing.
Fact is, this lens is small but yet has high resolution, great color, fast and accurate AF and smooth bokeh. It was however rather overly expensive at launch yet it’s the only lens I’ve retained from my initial foray into full frame mirrorless system 7 years ago having sold off the FE 28mm f2.0 with its 21mm converter, FE 16-35mm f4.0 ZA OSS and FE 24-70mm f4.0 ZA OSS.
Meanwhile, OM system (previously Olympus) is getting ready to release a new flagship OM-1, apparently it will use a BSI Stacked sensor; m.dpreview.com/news/6861091273/sony-semiconductor-reveals...
OM-1 appears to have the same 20mp resolution and 12bit depth, doubtful there will be any meaningful improvement in dynamic range hence personally that 1,000+ AF points or so many multiples of fps is of limited meaning since high ISO performance will remain inferior to larger sensor rivals.
OM-1 should be a proper, meaningful upgrade from E-M1 MKii which the E-M1 Mkiii was certainly not.
What may be more meaningful is how the camera can leverage on all that speed for handheld multi-shot frame merging/averaging to further reduce noise, improve color and increase resolution.
This is a positive sign that m43 will still be around. Still have and enjoy shooting with my m43 lenses, let’s see how this OM-1 pans out.
OM-1 is a also sign that the stacked sensor is coming to smaller sensor cameras, before long we should see a stacked sensor APS-C camera.
Only a mirrorless stacked sensor can truly replace the separate PDAF module of a DSLR.
Y si crees que eres como cualquier ser, como cualquier cosa, eres todos los seres, todas las cosas. Eres todos los universos, todos los multiversos.
According to this theory there must be a universe where I am still thin and have dark hair.
The multiverse is the hypothetical set of all universes. Together, these universes are presumed to comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them.
So why am I stuck in this one?

While in Washington DC for my brother's wedding, I became utterly enchanted with a bit of multimedia art in the National Gallery of Art.
Multiverse was installed by artist Leo Villareal in a 200-foot-long tunnel connecting the East building to the West building. It's an installation of thousands of LED lights, and it's one of the coolest things I've ever seen. This page features a video that captures Multiverse in action.
I wish I could have spent an hour just hanging out in this tunnel. It was fascinating and beautiful. One of those simple, genius ideas that was executed perfectly.
“Wheee” I said when I saw this shiny fancy walkway between east and west wings of National Gallery of Art. The traveling lights on the walls and ceiling make you feel like you’re in an episode of StarTrek, moving at warp speed.
What it is, is a light sculpture really and it’s called Multiverse. For more info on the designer and the walkway please visit www.nga.gov/collection/art-object-page.142055.html
Happy Wednesday to all the good people of universe. Thank you for your visit.
Imagine you’re a fish, swimming in a pond. You can move forward and back, side to side, but never up out of the water.

Leo Villareal. "Multiverse". National Gallery of Art. Washington DC.
Leo Villareal (born 1967 in Albuquerque, New Mexico) is an American artist living and working in New York City. His work combines LED lights and encoded computer programming to create illuminated displays.
Multiverse, the largest and most complex light sculpture created by Leo Villareal, may be experienced by visitors as they pass through the Concourse walkway between the East and West Buildings of the National Gallery of Art. The work features approximately 41,000 computer-programmed LED (light-emitting diode) nodes that run through channels along the 200-foot-long space.Installation took place between September and December 2008.

in the far corner of our universe there is a gate that protects a portal to the multiverse. Not everyone is allowed to pass. Only the Wizard Guardians of the Lazarisy have the magic it takes to unlock this portal. Only the ones who will fulfill the prophecy are allowed to pass this gate.

Atop the Belvedere sits a stone hand with a finger pointing at the sky, aiming directly at the North (Polar) Star.
Alongside the Belvedere is a second, connected feature – the Void. This mirrors the shape of the Belvedere, inverted into the ground.
Water sits in the centre of the void, which features a stone island reached by a spiralling path. There were dragonflies around the water and bulrushes. Lovely to see how wildlife has been encouraged back to this once derelict coal mine.

I moved the wonderful mirror ball/disco ball down into the art studio recently, so I could enjoy what it sees! LOVE how changing your focus means EVERYTHING sometimes!
