Landscape with a Lake, 1804 by Washington Allston (Oil on canvas)
1. What renewable natural resources are visible in this artwork?
The only renewable resource I was able to identify in the landscape was the sunlight shining on the pathway towards the lake.
2. What intermediate-renewable resources are visible in this artwork?
Some intermediate- renewable resources present in Allston’s Landscape with a Lake are fresh water and forest products such as trees. Moreover, if my perception is accurate the pathway is made up of some form of soil, which is also a renewable natural resource.
3. Which fields of study may be present in the piece?
The only field of study I was able to connect with the piece was biology because it is the study of life and plants are an important example of the one of the many living things on Earth.
4. Interpreting your piece, where on the continuum from ecocentric to anthropocentric would you consider the artist’s viewpoint?
In my opinion, the artist’s viewpoint on the continuum would be ecocentric because it shows the relationships between living and non-living things in the environment. It is focusing on the area as a whole and not the individual elements that make up the area.
5. What is the level of human influence depicted in your piece?
In the landscape, the level of human influence is on the lower end of the scale because the area is still preserved and isn’t impacted by factories, or any human creations. Its just nature and it appears to be untouched.
6. How would you interpret energy flow in the depiction shown in the artwork?
The energy flow present is the sun flowing through the ecosystem. The flow of energy starts from the sun’s light energy, which causes producers, such as the grass present in the landscape, to experience photosynthesis. This starts the transfer of chemical energy. This energy then is transferred to the consumers such as insects that may be present on various plant life present in the painting. Finally, the energy is then transferred to the decomposers, which are organisms such as worms present in the soil of the path.
7. Which ecosystem/biome is depicted in the artwork you observe?
I found it difficult to interpret the type of biome present in the landscape but I think it's a combination between the Boreal Forest and the temperate deciduous forest.
8. Describe one of the biogeochemical cycles summarized on pp. 36-41 for the landscape you observe.
One of the biogeochemical cycles that can be observed in this landscape is the water cycle. A lake or pond is present in the landscape meaning that the water has the capability to transport nutrients and pollutants to different surrounding surfaces. Then the water will evaporate into the atmosphere. This transfer of nutrients will continue over and over again creating the water cycle.
9. Sketch the food web that is depicted in the landscape you are studying
soil → insects → trees → birds (may not be present in picture) → animal such as a deer ( may not be present in picture) → human
10. Describe examples of succession (pp. 74-75) and/or human disturbance in the landscape.
There is no visual evidence of succession or human disturbance in the landscape. However, a human is visible meaning close by must be a house and town where energy is being produced and businesses exist. Therefore, living things had to be destroyed in order for these houses and businesses to exist. Moreover, all these creations use energy to function that as a result impact the environment surrounding it. So, though there may not be any visible disturbances in the landscape the image of the human is enough to fathom the impacts not too far from the area depicted.

This photo belong to a set best described as a 'miniworld'. The viewpoint is that of a very small (2inch) living thing, having a slightly distorted perception of colors and wide angle view (around 28mm). Also, this 'living thing' stands on almost every surface, which results in strange perspectives and upside down views.
The whole serie was shot on a quiet afternoon while I was helping visitors of the 44th edition of the 'Salon Photographique d'Allauch': phocal.org/ (I'm a member of this photo club)
You would just never have put your own eyes there.

This postcard was created for a FotoFest exhibition titled Mechanical Perception featuring photographic work by Mei-Mei Dillard, Eileen Maxson, Brian Piana, Soody Sharifi and Anderson Wrangle. These artists are also alumni from the University of Houston Photo/Digital Media program hence the lineup for this show. Mechanical Perception exhibition runs from September 5 – October 12, 2008 at the FotoFest Headquarters.
In addition to a postcard for the event, I also had to screenprint a poster that would be sold and distributed at the show through FotoFest. This was one of my first poster outside the usual Nameless Sound or rock music poster; this being one for a local art space. This was also the first poster that I created my new studio space, Box 13 ArtSpace.
This is the print sheet just hours returning from a press check Simon Printing where these postcards were being printed. This is the final product that I approved just before the entire job is run and then trimmed.
Spent a few hours out with Brad from BJ310S Photography around Susan Gilmour Beach. Was having a ball with my 50mm prime f1.4 Sigma lens on a few random rocks.
Picture is called Background of Knowledge and is the cover to one of my e-books. E-books include Tai Chi Exercises freebie for beginners. Advanced Tai Chi and Chi Kung. Energy Perception - Clairvoyance, Balancing and Communicatio with Light.

I see a witch in the smoke....does any body else see it?
Thanks to shobhana sriram (neoshobhs) for introducing us to the smoke photography idea.

This is a voodoo dance invoking the spirit of the deity Papa Loa. The drummers are hidden in the darkness, but the vévé is conspicuous at the feet of the dancers with the sacrificed cockrel.
