For a project several years ago called 'Numbers' i decided to create my project around double exposures. At the time i had just discovered film and was really interested in the dark rooms and printing my images from my negatives. This is the only image i have left from that project as my course leader lost the majority of my work from that year.

Overlapping spirals of immature stamens whose arrangements are defined by ratios of Fibonacci numbers. How cool is that?

Jesse and I played with Playdough today! These are my creations :) It's homemade playdough to. Much better then the store bought stuff!
In the article “Why Am I A Naturalist?” by Alex Rosenberg, the author makes a crucial point about naturalism. He says, “Naturalism takes the problem of mathematics seriously since science cannot do with out it. So naturalism can’t either.” This comment made me really think about how important numbers are in investigating the history of life. In the picture I have posted, you can see a skull. At first glance, without reading the material that was provided on this specific skull during lab, I said, “This looks like an old skull.” Eventually, I read the material that was placed next to it in which I learned that this was the skull of a juvenile. The young individual was approximately 3.5 years old when it died (about six or seven of our species). It was at that moment when I realized how important math is to science. Without knowing things like, for example, the age of specific fossil specimens or how long they have been around, we are left ignorant and lost. In addition, mathematical information like this is important to determine where a specimen like this falls in the timeline of human culture and what human species it is.
