This grows out of a year-long debate with "Idea-Listic" [Robert Marinkovic] about the nature of knowledge and truth. The image on the left screen comes from, and can be seen on his profile page, @ www.flickr.com/people/53959560@N00/ . But the guy is not really as scary as seen here (in this diabolical self-portrait), in fact, he's as tender as a lamb, and as witty as a can be.

 

The image on the right hand screen (at center), entitled "Postmodern Perception" is of recursive mirror reflections, and is from my photostream, @ www.flickr.com/photos/walford/363124748/

 

The gray-haired old geezer on the right is me, seen, as usual, endlessly seeking people and knowledge on the internet, thus prone to the temptation of Mephistopheles.

 

For a more imaginative, and creative version of this theme, see "dou_ble_you's" response to my challenge to put his fertile mind to work on improving on my pedestrian , and rather "staged" version---a challenge he gladly took up, and the result of which can be seen here: flickr.com/photos/dou_ble_you/2694068334/

 

Hats off, and thanks, to dou_ble_you, who has taught me so much over the past year.

This is my entry into this week's Leave it To Me Contest.

Goofing around with recursion.

 

Made with Processing.org.

An M.C. Escher-inspired version of my Cubicubicubic render. Done with Structure Synth and rendered in sunflow (both of which I'm still strugging to understand).

 

Nicer large, IMHO.

–noun

1.the process or art of producing images that are weird enough to disguise the fact you have no idea how to use a camera.

  

I like the thought that knitters see the photograph on the book and have a brief think "who the hell would take a picture like that??" before going off to knit something chichi.

These are toys of Hello Kitty dressed as *other Sanrio characters.* My mind is blown!

For some reason I'm interested in triangles at the moment. A simple recursive rule applied to a set of eight triangles divides each triangle into three triangles... (Mathematica)

Best Viewed large. I am not sure if this is a leaf. Seems like leaves within a leaf. Nested leaf.

For programmers would make sense, very recursive in nature.

 

As Each stalk or leaf seems to give rise to another. Very funky and cool i thought.

 

Whats attractive, is how each is elegantly shaped, tapering down beautifully.

 

I am new to photography and would greatly appreciate your comments. Thank you :)

This is my first attempt at using Josh Sommers' tutorial to simulate Escher's Droste effect. It took me a little while and a bit of trial and error to figure things out, but I'm happy with this for a first attempt. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to try this again in the future.

 

Please feel free to leave comments or suggestions, as I'm still a beginner in both photography and photo editing.

I took these images in September of 2010. Decided to re-visit them with a different post process.

Second Take - same vr dog walk sequence of raw panoramic pics (the camera, like most in this fledgling category, auto-stiches two 180 degree images simultaneously shot from dual 180 lenses .... if anyone is wondering is Ricoh Theta S)

 

As outlined in other studio still shot with motion added - i wanted to see what would result from trying the same technique in after effects ... it is a projection method in which a virtual 'cage' or set of planes in 3d space (sky, floor, right, left, etc)

 

original image - or image sequence here - is basically chopped up while viewed through virtual camera in 3d - pieces are mapped onto the 3d planes. The same virtual camera can then be used to rotate, change depth of field, move around on timeline as w/ typical motion design / computer animation - then rendered out from that setup and POV.

 

Conceptually I find it really weird and intriguing this #strangeloop which i won't quite call recursive as is the nature of and difference between the idea of a 'strange loop' versus a feedback / recursive loop ... in seeming contradiction strange loop goes both ways - forward and backward (think #escher drawings and other so-called #impossiblegeometry - i did get the term from 'Godel, Escher, Bach' the excellent book en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del,_Escher,_Bach by Douglas Hofstadter)

 

The process of re-visualizing and re-photographing in the computer what I have already used this device conceived of as a model of not just my eye but in this case extrapolating out from typical basic camera to capture and simulate reality and 3d space via radically distorted and stiched 360 image camera.

 

Then there is me conceptualizing the thing as a model of imagining the process, how I might throw some cool monkey wrenches into it :) even now as I type this I vaguely picture through some mental model each bit of this whole thing while seems off hand to be something like capturing feedback optical effect such as the double mirrors in which yu nop doubt have at omepoint glimpsed multitudes of yourself reflected into infinity - some how reversing that in post production, and finguring out a way to include same mirror effect live of the subject in VR space.

 

In VR I guess that means you are a ghost - I suspect none too many vr environments feature mirrors at this stage. That is the kind of situation I want to explore - not to achieve what seemed impossible through tricks but to reveal things about the self and how experiences in reality out there - whether virtual or not - treating outer and inner as essentially the same process / phenomena.

  

Much of my work these days explores in some way or another relates to this theme - reality, illusion, experience, contradition, dichotomy and the unity of opposites / fallacy of causality. In playful ways of course :)

 

Experimenting with applying the droste effect to stereographic panoramas.

And a bit more recursion applied to "recursive triangles 2" (Mathematica)

this is the summer edition. to commemorate three months of wearing the same thing.

Peer up at the pale blue sky, through a tangle of criss-crossing strands, green leaves, and red berries of a holly bush. Inspired by the intricate pattern of veins in butterfly wings, and reminiscent of stained glass windows, this visually engaging abstraction combines an organic feel with the boldness of graphic design.
