great book!

I think it is Andy who inserted this (and some other) humor and wisdom -
“The radical Honesty self-improvement movement, spearheaded by psychotherapist Dr. Brad Blanton, advocates telling the truth, always — even if you are asked by someone for whom you care deeply, “Does this kilt make me look fat? Such frankness can be disarming, charming or alarming, but is said by proponents and converts to result in better communication, improved work environments and stronger, more loving relationships! In the case of Draba and your whispered question, “Does it really matter what species of Draba this is?” No, it doesn’t, not to the plant and not to you, unless the species is rare and endangered, you are trying to save it, and correct identification is crucial. Now, of course, it can be fun and gratifying to work your way through the maze, but sometimes it is more satisfying merely to acknowledge the beauty and complexity of these alpine gems.”
(They do include a page of electron microscope photos of Draba hairs.)

Description: This was actually something that blew my mind as a kid, so I was really excited to shoot this. I wanted to capture the complexity of the leaf, and I chose this one specifically because of the bug bites. Not to get too deep, but leaves are something so simple, and their complexity is something we don't really think about-- notice the "veins," all tattered and practically bare as the leaf is on its last leg. The bugs have eaten it so much that it's practically skeletal... but isn't that beautiful? It reveals all of the hidden details of the leaf: The structure, texture, veins, strands, and bug holes are all apparent at this point, creating organized chaos. I put the image in sepia tone and increased contrast just to amplify those features, and I shot it at that angle to get some of the negative space from the holes.

James Squire Porter is rich and deep in colour, while offering a far
more delicate complexity than a stout. Roasted barley and wheat,
subtle hoppings and a long maturation create hints of malt chocolate,
a pillowy head and a light, creamy finish.

Cusp catastrophe manifold, explained with an example from community ecology. This manifold represents situations with two control parameters, herbivory and storm intensity in this case, and one response variable. Here the response is the coral or macroalgal dominance of tropical reefs. Dominance emerges from changes that take place within the community as the two control parameters interact. The change is usually abrupt and discontinuous, but the smooth manifold serves as a good explanation of the discontinuity. Prediction using catastrophe manifolds, however, remains a problem.
The manifold was generated with Mathematica 5.2 running on Fedora Linux. The example is a well known example of regime shift in ecological communities. Read more about it here.

For me it's one of those easy and relaxing things to have a barbecue at the park. Most parks around here provide picnic tables and fireplaces to enjoy with family and friends, to take time off to enjoy nature.
I've wanted to do more high contrast black and white macro shots lately. This is my first attempt at capturing an aspect of nature in this format.
This somewhat trivial picture highlights the complexity of nature for me. The Black and White removes one layer of this complexity.
The Second day of my trip to Peru and Easter Island.
The Nazca Lines.
The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert of Peru. They have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The high, arid plateau stretches more than 80 kilometres (50 mi) between the towns of Nazca and Palpa on the Pampas de Jumana. Although some local geoglyphs resemble Paracas motifs, scholars believe the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca culture between 200 BCE and 700 CE. The hundreds of individual figures range in complexity from simple lines to stylized hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, fish, sharks or orcas, llamas, and lizards.
The lines are shallow designs made in the ground by removing the ubiquitous reddish pebbles and uncovering the whitish ground beneath. Hundreds are simple lines or geometric shapes; more than seventy are designs of animal, bird, fish or human figures. The largest figures are over 200 metres (660 ft) across. Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs, but they generally ascribe religious significance to them, as they were major works that required vision, planning and coordination of people to achieve.

Intention:
Complexity
Reference:
"Balance is, ultimately, not something we can opt out of. Our photographs will be balanced—statically or dynamically—or they’ll be imbalanced, but the balance in an image will affect how people experience your photograph." -DuChemin
Outcome:
Took me far too long to organize these cards, but it was worth it to create my favorite picture from this project. The designs along with the lines create so many shapes, and with the help of editing the contrast is very eye catching. The direction of the lighting was unintentional but it adds just a slight bit of depth to the cards, almost making it look like an optical illusion.
Edits:
Removed color.
Increased: Contrast, Sharpness, and Shadow Intensity.
Decreased: Highlights.

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.

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.
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!
Some of these miniscule flowers are so small that the entire blossom you are looking at is 1/4" in diameter…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 1/16" in diameter across its widest part! For a reference to its size I have also included a photo of that bud next to the head of an ordinary paper match, which dwarfs the bud.
I am delighting in discovering the beauty, complexity, and variety in something so small that it’s easily ignored or 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!
