Biography:

I was born and raised in Thailand,

The land of smile before I came abroad to

study here in San Francisco.

 

I love San Francisco great arty city, nice people,

wonderful landscape and The gayest place on earth.

 

So… This city inspired me to appreciated an art and

influenced to make an art by myself, Then photography

just come right to me.

 

I took a lot of photography classes at CCSF. I love both

digital and film. I also joined 81bees group and have a

couple show with them (Night, Brown Paper bag,

Nature and Food)

 

Finally, still a long road for me to learn and practice

but I never feel happy like this before in my life.

 

CCSF Photography and You:

I took classes at City College around 2011

I remembered about my first shooting for photo 51 assignment

it was a Red assignment, Shooting any Red object

at that time I have no idea at all how to use camera.

(I always set things to the Auto mode at that time)

 

The first assignment came out well… not the best nor the worst

but that make me feel that I can do it.

 

Time flies… I took photography as much as I can. I learned

a lot of stuffs, get feedback and critique to improved my work

any yet still convey all those messages in my style.

 

Present, I still keep shooting and use all the learning

experiences from the CCSF photography classes to

help me accomplished my goal.

this is a mediocre picture

Il faisait tellement mauvais ces temps-ci ! Entre deux averses, j'ai fait quelques photos d'intérieur.

 

The weather was so bad these days! Between two showers, I made some photos of inside.

Greetings mate! As many of you know, I love marrying art, science, and math in my fine art portrait and landscape photography!

 

The gold 45 revolver lingerie is designed in accordance with the golden ratio! More about the design and my philosophy of "no retouching" on the beautiful goddesses in my new book:

And here's more on the golden ratio which appears in many of my landscape and portrait photographs (while shaping the proportions of the golden gun)!

The Golden Ratio informs a lot of my art and photographic composition. The Golden Ratio also informs the design of the golden revolver on all the swimsuits and lingerie, as well as the 45surf logo! Not so long ago, I came up with the Golden Ratio Principle which describes why The Golden Ratio is so beautiful.

 

The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio.

A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are over 5400 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.

 

The silicates are the most abundant and chemically complex group of minerals. All silicates have silica as the basis for their chemistry. "Silica" refers to SiO2 chemistry. The fundamental molecular unit of silica is one small silicon atom surrounded by four large oxygen atoms in the shape of a triangular pyramid - this is the silica tetrahedron - SiO4. Each oxygen atom is shared by two silicon atoms, so only half of the four oxygens "belong" to each silicon. The resulting formula for silica is thus SiO2, not SiO4.

 

Opal is hydrous silica (SiO2·nH2O). Technically, opal is not a mineral because it lacks a crystalline structure. Opal is supposed to be called a mineraloid. Opal is made up of extremely tiny spheres called "colloids" that can be seen with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). (www.geo.arizona.edu/xtal/geos306/opal-spheres.jpg)

 

Gem-quality opal, or precious opal, has a wonderful rainbow play of colors (opalescence). This play of color is the result of light being diffracted by planes of voids between large areas of regularly packed, same-sized opal colloids. Different opalescent colors are produced by colloids of differing sizes. If individual colloids are larger than 140 x 10-6 mm in size, purple & blue & green colors are produced. Once colloids get as large as about 240 x 10-6 mm, red color is seen (Carr et al., 1979).

 

Not all opals have the famous play of colors, however. Common opal has a wax-like luster & is often milky whitish with no visible color play at all. Opal is moderately hard (H = 5 to 6), has a white streak, and has conchoidal fracture.

 

Several groups of organisms make skeletons of opaline silica, for example hexactinellid sponges, diatoms, radiolarians, silicoflagellates, and ebridians. Some organisms incorporate opal into their tissues, for example horsetails/scouring rushes and sawgrass. Sometimes, fossils are preserved in opal or precious opal.
