Blogging and Photography

Posted by on Apr 26, 2010 in creative photogrpahy | 0 comments

Blogging and photography, I like to do both but don’t seem to have enough time to really put in a good effort at either. I’ve decided to open a new site and post a photo-a-day. I’ll refrain from tutorials or long posts and focus on trying to get an image each day. If you are interested in photography, check out my new photo blog Totem

Storytelling With Images, An Experiment

Posted by on Feb 13, 2010 in creative photogrpahy, landscape, trees | 1 comment

A couple of weeks ago I took a little bush walk in Sherbrooke Forest near my home. I came back with a number of fantastic photos however, viewed individually or one after the other, they lost some of their appeal and magic. Last week I experimented with uploading an image a day with a one sentence caption that told a simple story. The photos and captions helped to tie the images together and allowed me to highlight aspects of the photo. This worked out really well so I’ve placed them together into a little movie complete with a Ry Cooder audio track.  I’ll continue to explore and experiment with this as another media. Let me know what you think. Cheers.

Photographs taken in Sherbrooke Forest, Dandenong Ranges, Australia. All images were taken on a little walk about a half mile from my house. Hope you enjoy the serenity and majesty of this great mountain forest.

“Logic moves in one direction, the direction of clarity, coherence and structure. Ambiguity moves in the other direction, that of fluidity, openness, and release. Mathematics moves back and forth between these two poles. [...] It is the interaction between these different aspects that gives mathematics its power.”
William Byers (How Mathematicians Think, Princeton University Press, 2007)

“Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.” Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

“One cannot understand… the universality of laws of nature, the relationship of things, without an understanding of mathematics. There is no other way to do it.”
Richard P. Feynman

“Philosophy is written in this grand book–I mean the universe–which stands continually open to our glaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.”
Galileo Galilei (Il Saggiatore, 1623)

“Math is the only place where truth and beauty mean the same thing.”
Danica McKellar
