My first attempt at the Droste effect. A specific kind of recursive picture one that in heraldry is termed mise en abyme. An image exhibiting the Droste effect depicts a smaller version of itself in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. This smaller version then depicts an even smaller version of itself in the same place, and so on. Only in theory could this go on forever; practically, it continues only as long as the resolution of the picture allows, which is relatively short, since each iteration geometrically reduces the picture's size. It is a visual example of a strange loop, a self-referential system of instancing which is the cornerstone of fractal geometry

The electronic tattoo, which monitors the electrical activity of the heart (EKG), brain (EEG) and muscles (EMG), is shown here, freshly applied on skin with a transparent bandage.
I couldn't quite figure our which one I liked the most, so here are a couple of takes. This one technically shot a few days earlier.
This is the inside of a Decca transistor radio 1960s design. For the electronics enthusiasts, its clear to see how very different this looks compared to a modern day device. Not a silicon chip in sight, in fact the transistors are the older germanium type. The battery is newer of course, this radio belongs to my mother in law and is still used.
When I received this and plugged it in, the first thing that happened was a huge flame shot out of it...
Today I took a closer look and found the component that caught fire, bought a new one at Kjell&Co and replaced it. It works! Sounds great!
Why is it naked you ask? Well, tonight when I went to shoot some shots of the delicious dessert, none of the back buttons worked. Thankfully taking it apart and putting it back together seemed to fix it. So the camera isn't broken after all. Yay! :) (Taken using Michael's most excellent Nikon D70.

The Wicks Looper is a small electronic musical instrument that allows you the create real-time noise loops and sound effects.
Vacuum tubes, resistors, diodes, a Tube Screamer guitar pedal, transistors, terminal strips and more!
I have this HUGE jumble of wires in a cabinet in my room, which I think is what inspired this shot. :P
I'm going to take a better version of this later; I'm not completely satisfied with the result I got here..
This is a pile I picked up for a total price of $70.00 at an estate sale in San Francisco. The guy was apparently an electronics tech for hospitals and schools.
analog input from the potentiometer, map value to 0-254, output to led via pwm. The pot controls the led brightness.
