Somin Eunice Lee, Assistant Professor at Electrical & Computer Engineering and
Biomedical Engineering Departments at the University of Michigan leads the Bioplasmonics Group that focuses on the creation of novel photonic devices and nanoscopies to visualize biological and chemical processes with nanometer resolution over time.
Lee and her graduate students at the University of Michigan developed a way of seeing nanoscale biological structures that doesn’t rely on using fluorescent molecules that break down the more you use them to look at whatever it is you’re trying to see.
Her group’s technique looked at a fraction of the light coming back from the network of actin molecules in a dividing cell, choosing only to look at light waves that were in a certain part of their oscillation when they arrive at the detector (peak, trough, somewhere in between - this is known as the phase of the light).
Each of these partial snapshots reveals a random scattering of points on the actin network. By taking multiple snapshots together, they can reconstruct nanoscale details that are smaller than the wavelength of light - and which can’t be seen with ordinary microscopes.

Create a dreamy, vintage-inspired portrait of a glamorous woman standing confidently in front of a classic turquoise pickup truck. She wears a bold cherry-red dress that accentuates her hourglass silhouette, with soft blonde curls framing her face in a Hollywood-pinup style. The sunlight adds a gentle glow, enhancing the nostalgic atmosphere as she poses with subtle elegance and allure. Capture the blend of retro charm, automotive Americana, and timeless beauty, evoking the spirit of 1950s glamour brought to life in a modern, polished scene.
Where's the love song to set us free
too many people down, everything turning the wrong way round
and I don't know what love will be
but if we stop dreaming now, lord knows we'll never clear the clouds
and you've been so busy lately
that you haven't found the time
to open up your mind
and watch the world spinning gently out of time
Feel the sunshine on your face
It's in a computer now
gone to the future, way out in space
and you've been so busy lately
that you haven't found the time
to open up your mind
and watch the world spinning gently out of time
and you've been so busy lately
that you haven't found the time
to open up your mind
and watch the world spinning gently out of time
Tell me I'm not dreaming
but are we out of time
Here's my entry for the PC contest, thought it felt like, even in the future, timeless PC rocks.

Villa Tugendhat is a historical building in the wealthy neighbourhood of Černá Pole in Brno, Czech Republic. It is one of the pioneering prototypes of modern architecture in Europe, and was designed by the German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Built of reinforced concrete between 1928–1930 for Fritz Tugendhat and his wife Greta, the villa soon became an icon of modernism.
THE HOUSING PHILOSOPHY
CAN THE TUGENDHAT VILLA BE LIVED IN?
This provocative question was voiced by the art historian Justus Bier. This was a reaction to an article on the new structure of the Brno Villa in the magazine 'Die Form' which was published in the year 1931 by the publisher himself Walter Riezler. The commissioners themselves entered into the polemic on the theme as to whether “the Tugendhat Villa can be lived in” with their reactions supplemented with a text by the architect Ludwig Hilberseimer. The Tugendhats rejected the view that the monumental, impassioned living space would only allow for a kind of ceremonial or showpiece housing, and in contrast expressed their complete satisfaction with its variable character. The unforced domestic calm also radiates from the family photographs by Fritz Tugendhat who was a photo enthusiast and amateur filmmaker.
From the philosophical perspective the Tugendhat Villa particularly reflects the influence of the German Catholic Modern movement. The American art historian Barry Bergdoll as well as the Czech art historian Rostislav Švácha have pointed out in this connection the ideas of the philosopher Romano Guardini, one of the most significant figures of German Christian Personalism. Mies had met with Guardini and his ideas had additionally influenced Grete Tugendhat. “Large spaces provide freedom. Space has a completely special calm in its rhythm which cannot be provided by a closed room.” The snaps by Fritz Tugendhat are genuine personal interpretation of space in contrast with the 'official' photographs of the architecture. “When I allow these spaces and everything which is inside them to influence me as whole, I clearly feel: what beauty is, what is truth.” The Tugendhats apparently knew Guardini’s views or at least discussed them with Mies. Guardini’s works, which came about at the same time as the design of the Villa, state that a well-built internal space has levels which lead into depths. This is precisely the manner in which one enters downward into the space of Tugendhat Villa the intimate character of which is protected by the stern street section of the house.
Art historical theories and interpretations of not only Tugendhat Villa but Mies’ work in general will continue to stimulate generations of art historians and architecture theoreticians. Up until now almost all of them have agreed that the essence of the Brno realization was the arrangement of the main living space and its connection up with the external outdoors. One of the starting points was undoubtedly the ideas of F. L. Wright and his “open plan” which at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries removed the four walls demarcating the rooms allowing for the emergence of a continual space with a connection to the exterior of the structure. Mies van der Rohe himself did not write anything about the Brno Villa, but he did discuss the conception in detail with his educated clients.
This country’s leading, and by coincidence also from Brno, art historians view “the loose” and “the open” space of the house as analogical to the architecture of the Middle Ages and the Baroque. Václav Richter compared Mies’ space conception with Santini’s radical Baroque space in the pilgrimage church on Zelená hora near Žďár nad Sázavou. Richter’s student Zdeněk Kudělka has made reference to the Neo-Gothic aspects of this space which is enhanced by a cross-like connected profile of steel supporting columns and the mirror-like gloss of its chrome cladding. These interpretations coincide with Richter’s remarkable periodization of the history of “the open” architectural space which was in his view only fulfilled in the Gothic, in the radical Baroque and in the skeleton architecture of the 20th century.
Mies’ student Philip Johnson and after him the Swiss architecture historian Sigfried Giedion have interpreted the interior of the Brno Villa as “a flowing” space whose “flow” is only gently channelled by the lines of the onyx and the Macassar inner wall in harmony with the regular rhythm of the supporting columns and the carefully placed furniture.
The period Czechoslovak specialised journals ostentatiously ignored Mies' realization in Brno. The only positive evaluation of the building in the domestic press came from the exclusive society magazine Měsíc (Month) which presented the Villa as one of the crowning expressions of contemporary aesthetic and technical maturity. The negative attitude by Czech specialised circles would thus seem to foreshadow the painful future of both the Villa and its inhabitants.
Some things are timeless.
Now that my garden flowers are done due to frost, I am back to having carnations around the house in vases.
This is in my 'new' photography not ... really... a studio room.

Throughout her career, Cher has consistently dazzled audiences with her singular sound, spectacular stage presence, and unique ensembles to match. When it comes to sensational, over-the-top style, Bob Mackie has been the glamorous star's go-to guy for outfits designed exclusively for her. Inspired by one of her most famous 1980's costumes — a Bob Mackie original — this Cher doll is the picture of sassy chic. Dressed in a black, studded faux leather jacket, glittery bodysuit and above-the-knee boots, the doll bears a striking resemblance to the legendary star and one of her many legendary looks.

A Red-bellied woodpecker...
For several years we have fed the local birds by leaving suet out on our balcony. It is a delightful past time that is shared by many and it is a timeless activity.
It is a joy to learn more about the local wildlife as I encounter them in detail. Once I had a picture in hand I was able to identify this bird as a Red-Bellied Woodpecker. I thought it was interesting to learn how extensively this woodpecker's habitat is throughout the United States.
