Well a hundred years from now I won't be crying
A hundred years from now I won't be blue
My heart will have to forget that we ever met
But I won't care a hundred years from now
A beautiful song from Elvis Presley....
Many many thanks to the following people on Deviantart.com for allowing me to use their stock for my graphic.

In logic and computer programming, a Boolean operator is a type of variable between two states. In computer-generated imagery, Boolean operations enable us to subtract, add or create an intersection between two objects.
In this series I subtract a sphere from a landscape. The latter becomes hollow. It is sterile, it lacks something, the breath of life.
It is a morbid image: a Boolean nature.
A sculpture completes the image by representing the missing part.
The sum of the image and the sculpture forms the landscape in its entirety.

Un booléen en logique et en programmation informatique est un type de variable à deux états. En image de synthèse les opérations booléennes permettent de soustraire, d'additionner ou de créer l'intersection de deux objets.
Dans cette série je soustrais une sphère à un paysage. Celui-ci se retrouve creusé. Aseptisé, il lui manque quelque chose, un souffle de vie.
C'est une image morbide : une nature booléenne.
Une sculpture vient compléter l'image en représentant la partie manquante.
La somme de l'image et de la sculpture forme le paysage dans son entièreté.

The Chinese hexagrams are a binary code of a system just as encompassing as the tarot. Binary codes can encode anything a discrete code can encode, and are the basis of all modern communications. All images, all sounds, all thoughts can be hidden in strings of ones and zeros - broken/unbroken. Each new bit doubles the number of possible messages.
But sometimes one has to break out of the system.
Thinking outside the box. Breaking rules. Intellectual courage. New codes.
This tea set and tree frog were created using Autodesk Maya 2009 a 3D modeling program. This image was rendered using Mental Ray. The scene was lit by a High Dynamic Range Image. The tree frog was from an earlier project I did.

Practicing using procedural textures in Maya and Mental Ray. Post done in Photoshop.
Wanted to add some volcanoes, lava plumes, or even a meteor impact but I lacked either the time or the skill to make it look believable.

When your beautiful dream shatters, there should be a beautiful pattern hidden in the broken peices. Life ought to have meaning, everything should fit...
The water molecule is a beautiful structure.
The symmetries impose an orbital structure that forms a tetrahedral shape. But the tetrahedral shape is not perfect, and the charges do not neutralise each other perfectly - bending the cubical symmetry of the p-orbitals to the tetrahedral hybrid structure is hard to do. But this charge variation makes the slightly negative outside of the oxygen atom tempting for the slightly positive hydrogens of other molecules, forming hydrogen bonds. The bonds make each molecule link to four others in a loose network that enables water to remain liquid over a wide range of temperatures, gives it a high heat of vaporisation, a loose crystal structure that makes ice float rather than sink, a high surface tension and high specific heat. These properties creates a complex chemistry and physics, allows interesting weather and life to exist.
It is all in the symmetry breaking.
So why oxygen and hydrogen? Hydrogen because it is the simplest and most common substance in the universe. Oxygen because it is a side effect of the triple alpha process in old stars. Due to a fortuitous "coincidence" beryllium-8 has an energy level that makes the merge with helium-4 far likelier than it would otherwise have been, allowing the formation of carbon. Which in turn combines with another helium-4 to give an oxygen-16. But nuclear spin rules prevent oxygen-16 of being burned into neon. So in the end we get a lot of carbon and oxygen instead of inert noble gas. But the triple-alpha process is also so slow that it did not occur during the big bang, preventing the universe from becoming too much carbon in the first place. Again, saved by symmetry. This time the symmetries of the nuclear orbitals of beryllium and oxygen saves us. And why are they like they are? Part is just the mathematics of eigenfunctions of the spherically symmetric Schrödinger equation, but part is also due to the exact proton and neutron masses... set (presumably) by another symmetry breaking.
The subtle order of everyday life surrounds us, and we take it for granted. But had it not existed our everyday life would not have existed, and whatever lives we may have led would have seemed natural. Some of the order of the world is due to the balance of different forces, be they physical, social or psychological. Other order emerges through self-organisation. A bit even through deliberate planning. But then there are the coincidences and patterns inherent in the rules themselves, the true bedrock of life.
The Anthropic Principle. Symmetry and symmetry breaking. The harmonies of matter. Symmetry groups interacting, breaking symmetries and creating new possibilities

My friend John Austin (Austinspace) conceived of Jibby's appearance for a comic book we made back during the late 70s. He later became a character in a novel I wrote that will never see print. In later years I created him in 3D just to teach myself how to use the softwar. The computer version lacks the warmth of John's version, but he's still very much Jibby.
i created Jibby on Flickr in order to comment on John's photos. At the time I had no camera, so was merely working on other people's photos. I never intended to post anything. I wasn't really a photographer at the time. I'd dabbled in photography from time to time, but never seriously until 2008. It became necessary because of my increasing interest in Photoshop art and the lack of photos to play with. I wanted to work on things that were totally my own. So I started posting photos I had done in the past until I could afford a camera.
Then I became an ego run amuck, screaming "Look at me! Look at me!" It's pretty sad, really.
You might find these definitions of Jibby amusing:
