Bliss accomplishes what I have been envisioning. His skill with scene lighting is remarkable. The results are spectacular. And it seems that I should’ve started my work with the Nikon D810 rather than messing around with 3 and 5 megapixel specialized microscopy cameras.

Understanding how life continuously exists and reproduces in all parts of the world and the universe is beyond anything I could ever imagine. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoy spending time admiring the microscopic biology all around us; which is why I love David S. Goodsell’s book, The Machinery of Life. You can view many of the pictures here.

Somehow I found this video about Cymatics. It shows some very odd things that sound waves can achieve.

Here is Part 2 and Part 3 of the video.

The blog also contains many articles on economics and emergence. Topics I love. I will have to take some time to read through this blog.
