========================================================================
The story is, by now, familiar to almost everyone: A sleepy, seaside, former industrial city in Northern Spain gets a new museum housed in a building already called--on its completion at the end of the 20th century--the most important building of the 21st. The city, of course, is Bilbao; the museum is Frank O. Gehry's Guggenheim. Virtually overnight, the small city became one of the most popular destinations in Europe. From all reports, Bilbao is rapidly metamorphosing from a sort of one-hit wonder to a genuinely vibrant city with restaurants, nightlife, theatre, and art. Gehry's radical, shimmering metal building has become a source of immense civic pride.
Call it the Bilbao Effect, though it predates the Guggenheim there by at least a few thousand years. Great architecture should be the centerpiece of urban space. Whether religious, governmental, commercial, or cultural, buildings define their cities; think of the Pantheon, of the Forbidden City--more than one building, I know--of any one of a thousand Parisian buildings and monuments, of the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings. The critics who complain about the Bilbao Guggenheim's sometimes lackluster collection and exhibitions--the same criticism has been leveled at Los Angeles' just-as-impressive Getty Center--do have a point, but they also miss the point. The point is the building as art, not just as a house for art. Architecture is the only truly public art form left. Frank Gehry, Richard Meier, Rem Koolhaas: they are the cathedral builders of our time. Not since Frank Lloyd Wright or Mies van der Rohe have so many architects become so nearly household names.

Bilbao Effect
Spring effect in Minneapolis. The ground is green, but the trees are still hesitating to wear green:)

Created using GIMP
Originally, the Harris shutter was a device with three colour filters, allowing the photographer to make a single photo of a time series of shots with different primary colours. When the camera is kept steady, areas of the photo without any change end up having the same colour as in reality, whereas areas where motion takes place give a kind of rainbow effect.

This is a new one! I took it a few days ago when I was out with my family visiting my stepmothers sister. Actually I was about to take some photos of a cat (A cat? Have I ever been taking a photo on a cat before?) but when I was on my way I saw this little fellow!

From Wikipedia:
"In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. The name of the effect, coined by Edward Lorenz, is derived from the metaphorical example of the details of a hurricane (exact time of formation, exact path taken) being influenced by minor perturbations such as the flapping of the wings of a distant butterfly several weeks earlier. Lorenz discovered the effect when he observed that runs of his weather model with initial condition data that was rounded in a seemingly inconsequential manner would fail to reproduce the results of runs with the unrounded initial condition data. A very small change in initial conditions had created a significantly different outcome.
The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a tornado or delay, accelerate or even prevent the occurrence of a tornado in another location. Note that the butterfly does not power or directly create the tornado. The Butterfly effect does not convey the notion - as is often misconstrued - that the flap of the butterfly's wings causes the tornado. The flap of the wings is a part of the initial conditions; one set of conditions leads to a tornado while the other set of conditions doesn't. The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale alterations of events."
I don't necessarily believe in it--but I do think it's a fascinating theory--one of those things the mind could dwell on for quite a while and then, ponder longer. As I put my trust in a Divine Hand, I believe that should He desire to make any changes, He can direct any disturbances, or not, depending on His choosing. And after all, He once appointed a worm, so a butterfly is certainly reasonable!
My original image was of a blurry red mum on a mustard colored background.
If you look closely (view large), I think you'll be able to imagine quite a few butterflies in there...although there were none originally...perhaps an intrinsic "butterfly effect" all its own.
In the midst of a powerful lake effect snowstorm, not even that can stop the railroads from running! NS 1196 leads the way through at the helm of train 277, passing by the former Mascot Hall of Fame site in Whiting, IN.

This picture was taken in Xcaret Mexico in the Yucatan Penninsula in October of 2007 during my honeymoon to Cancun. Xcaret is a beautiful ecological park, and had a variety of entertainment from snorkling to a live show. Awesome place to visit. I decided to give the Dave Hill effect a shot and I think it came out OK.
Contrasting building styles along the Eagle Street precinct in Brisbane, not far and taken from the Kangaroo Point bridge. Note the heritage building low on the left contrasting with the tall and rather new skyscraper next door.
No post processing. Straight from the camera. Just a touch of contrast to lighten it up slightly. Timed exposure and zoom in for soft effect.
Some Subject Zero shots. This has be one of my favorite characters... No "coldfish" Liara please! ;)

I put my fingers in front of the flash, and created a red effect. In the reflection of her eyes, you can see me taking a picture.

The lunar influence on human behavior has been termed 'The Lunar Effect' or 'The Transylvania Effect'. The influence of the full moon remains one of the most common explanations for a wide range of bizarre events from deaths to violence in a psychiatric setting.
