I took up photography just 5 years ago and now am 58. I used to paint a fair bit but found it lonely. I just love art and I find photography very satisfying in that regard. Just recently I've been thinking about how urgent I feel about shooting really great photos. I was surprised and pleased to see an affirmation in your words.mark whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02208654359696672676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9493601.post-13723904442801842942008-01-16T02:01:00.000-05:002008-01-16T02:01:00.000-05:00I have much to catch up on it appears...

Thanks for the reference to his recent 4 volumes. Any word on his 13th volume in progress?<BR/><BR/>How does Alexander's structure/order-as-life thesis touch your own CA/Artificial War line of work? Is the structure/order of warfare (over the human millennia) alive?<BR/><BR/>Your post also inspired me to pull out Boyd's 1976 Destruction and Creation, wherein he states a goal of human life is to improve one's capacity for independent action. In Alexanderian terms then, independence of action and liveliness of order seem covariant?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9493601.post-89758969310797148162008-01-10T14:43:00.000-05:002008-01-10T14:43:00.000-05:00This is a kick ass post!!!! well done...

How can taking fine art pictures be more difficult then your day job of physics. Is it not a subconscious process by which your eye falls on "something" and you have to fix that moment of revelation on the photograph. Do you really think all those thoughts that you describe in the blog while you look in your camera? I for one do not think so but of course I am not physicist nor a fine art photographer.katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14188734784784703489noreply@blogger.com
