Nice "reverse sunset" tonight with the setting sun's light reflecting off the clouds to the east and southeast.

This was based on a design I submitted, but the contest organizer changed it just enough that I had no idea how to solve it for a while, but I eventually figured it out (see previous photo). After posting that I figured out a somewhat better design.

the backlit reverse of the "Arlington" tessellation, as named by Jorge Jaramillo.
Really, it's just an exploration of box pleating (a common technique for uniaxial, representational origami) combined with tessellations ( that has more dimensions with which to contend.)
Or perhaps more appropriately: I like taking shots of things using a light table.
Amtrak California Capitol Corridor Train #529 from Auburn, CA., to Oakland, CA., is seen arriving and departing from Suisun-Fairfield, CA. Just a mere 16 hours earlier I photographed this train as the Eastbound version in the afternoon hours.

Takashi Murakami's Reversed Double Helix comprises of five individual sculptures. Tongari-kun (Mr. Pointy) (2003-2004), a 23-foot mushroom-capped Buddha-like figure, sprouting arms and hands, is flanked by four smaller, white, figures named Jikokkun, Koumokkun, Tamon-kun and Zoucho-kun (2003-2005). The Reversed Double Helix, which was on exhibit in Rockefeller Center in 2003, refers to the "the twisted spirals of DNA strands and plays upon Murakami's universe of mutant cartoon characters, where wide-eyed mushrooms coexist with multi-armed giants, happy flowers, and elfin creatures."
© MURAKAMI, the most comprehensive retrospective to date of the work of internationally acclaimed Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, was on exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art from April 5 - July 13, 2008. Organized by the The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles, the exhibit included more than ninety works in various media spanning the artist’s entire career, installed in more than 18,500 square feet of gallery space across the Morris A. and Meyer Schapiro Wing and Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Gallery.
Among the works included are many of Murakami's acclaimed sculpture figures including Miss Ko2 (1997), a long-legged waitress who has become one of the artist’s signature characters; and Hiropon (1997), a Japanese girl jumping a rope created by milk spurting from her gargantuan breasts. Among the paintings on view will be Tan Tan Bo (2001), as well as Tan Tan Bo Puking—a.k.a. Gero Tan (2002).

The Brooklyn Museum, sitting at the border of Prospect Heights and Crown Heights near Prospect Park, is the second largest art museum in New York City. Opened in 1897 under the leadership of Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences president John B. Woodward, the 560,000-square foot, Beaux-Arts building houses a permanent collection including more than one-and-a-half million objects, from ancient Egyptian masterpieces to contemporary art.
The Brooklyn Museum was designated a landmark by the New York Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1966.

The lens has been fitted (reversed) on the Sony. The old shiny metal Minolta MD mount faces outwards as the macro lens objective.
So how does this perform? My guess by comparison with a 1:1 macro lens is that it supplies a roughly 3:1 macro image, i.e. a magnification of 3X a 1:1 macro image.
The next photograph (click this link) shows a full size image of part of a two pound (UK) coin.
This clickable link takes you back to the image of the lens on the Minolta camera.

A good view of how reverse thrust works as the engines on F-GITF kick up runway water while slowing down.
The reverse is French so either this card was captured or the soldier writing on the card was an Alsatian in the German Army.
From the Microsoft Research Social Computing Symposium, here's another group from the reverse scavenger hunt, run by Liz Lawley. Find four objects from around the Marriott in 15 minutes; bring them back and declare them. Then each group had to explain how they had discovered a
a) geo-presence signifier
b) device for intimate connection
c) sign of social deviance
d) data visualization
four objects, four explanations. A hoot! Solid standup pundit performances. Kevin Slavin, Liz Lawley and I judged subjectively. We held up number rankings from 1-5; Kevin had a few modifier cards "+1 Canada" "+2 looks like math" "-1 I'm not a lawyer" I did public math adding up scores; I was going slow; Tom Coates said "and you're going to be the CEO of your company?"
