A play on words, "intelligent design".
I have a rather undeveloped interest in epistemology. Undeveloped because I label myself as "a cynic by nature. Naive by design". That is, I deliberately have not read major philosophical works too seriously or taken any philosophy courses, so that in the end my philosophies are truly my own -- even if someone has thought as I have before me.
That being said, I am familiar with some basic concepts of logic and fallacies. And I do sometimes wish I knew more, or that I had a friend who would be willing to read, explore, and discuss such things with me.
One of my main beliefs is that your interpretation of evidence in the world is shaped by your personal experiences. The best way I can explain this is to give an example:
There are two ways you can look at the complex nature of the human body and its workings. You can look at it and see a nearly odd deliberation in form and function -- evidence that some being tinkered in our existence. God, if you will. Or you can look at it, and see the millions of little modifications selecting for the form and function -- evolution.
My point is, whether you accept your upbringing or reject it, how you interpret "evidence" is based on all your prior experiences. That says nothing of "intelligent design's" or evolution's concepts.
To me, personally, you can believe whatever you want as long as you don't overimpose your opinions on other people. And to me, personally, the two (ID and Evolution) do not have to be mutually exclusive.
Who's to say that God didn't choose evolution as the means for our creation?
I think one of the more surprising things coming into the OR is how disconnected different teams in the OR appear. They seem so casual. The surgeons are focused on their part, the anaesthesiologists do theirs, people come in and out of the OR randomly, scrub nurses are more concerned with the Mayo tray than the surgery unless called on, and circulating nurses gossip. Well, everyone gossips now and then.
It's so ordinary. Like people walking down the street in Manhattan, no one is concerned with the other.
Don't be mislead by my description though. The OR teams work in near perfect cohesiveness (if everyone is well trained) and they communicate with each other subtly or explicitly when needed. But it doesn't feel at all like the life of a child hangs in the balance, that the simplest slip or mistake could mean an infection or a nicked artery. If something were to go awry I would think everyone is relatively ready to react. Things can always go wrong, though, even in their reactions.
But it says more about the atmosphere in the OR that I can capture a picture of what I feel is the ambiance in the OR than it says about me as a photographer. You can walk in and out unnoticed, and I probably would have gone unnoticed if I hadn't intruded in requesting a pedestal from the circulating nurse and the anaesthesiologists for some of their space to stand.

Week 111 Assignment 2 for Take A Class With Dave and Dave.
Album Cover - We had a lot of fun with this one back in Week 5. Design an album cover, using a photo taken this week. All submissions must be square (ya know, like a CD/Vinyl case). Have fun!
I wasn't sure what I was going to shoot for my Album Cover assignment so I just started playing around with ideas. None of them went anywhere. Then I thought about that silly little game making the rounds over on Facebook that deals with using Wikipedia's random page in the creation of a make believe album cover. While I have issues with how the game uses "found" Flickr images, the first two steps are actually useful. I figured I'd at least use the first step to find a band name and then go from there. When general surgery popped up I was at first a bit disappointed. As I thought about it, however, a concept that I had come up with around Valentine's Day that I never got to work on popped into my head. That concept along with the band name "General Surgery" would work rather well together. I didn't use step two of the game, as the image dictated the album name more so than some random quote. It all worked out rather well as far as I am concerned.
