“Simplicity means the achievement of maximum effect with minimum means.”

- Albert Einstein

To me that button-up-the-back jacket couldn't look anything other than backwards!

Our first assignment in Beyond Beyond is to take at least 10 different photos of one subject varying the angle, perspective, depth of field, etc. Then create a collage of the ones you like the best.

Our Daily Topic/Our Daily Challenge - topic for 3/11/11 - Simplicity

 

This one was easy, even though it's not the most artful or attractive image...

 

This photo shows part of my company's corporate logo, a window decal on the door to Manufacturing. The jagged edge across the top is part of the logo too, so I didn't crop it out. I have always like the way the light plays off the diamond shapes of the privacy panel on the door. I thought it would be fun to use this image for today's ODT and ODC!

 

We provide data storage solutions for a wide range of customers, from small companies to military applications. Our main focus is on "simplicity"...!

 

From our Mission Statement:

 

"Data storage needs continue to expand. Servers have proliferated. Power, cooling, space and budgets are strained. Existing equipment has been stretched to the end of their useful lives and beyond by the difficult economy – but are still expected to deliver non-stop 24x7 dependability in their environment. Virtualization of both servers and storage are now real. The large storage vendors still command large prices. The result is that storage architectures threaten to become more complex and expensive – and decisions continue to become more difficult.

 

Our answer is to deliver the best overall value: simplicity, performance and economy."

 

It's just that simple. :-)
