Radiographs

I’ve been meaning to post these for a while. They’re part of an x-ray photography set by Surfactant on Flickr.

Sun and Circles

Talk about perseverance,

Experienced solar photographer Thierry Lagault had noticed planes crossing in front of the Sun from his home in suburban Paris. He then got the idea for the above photograph, but had to wait through many near misses. About two weeks ago, he got his wish: a jet crossed directly in front of the Sun when his solar imaging equipment was set up. – Nasa Astronomy Picture of the Day

This shot reminded me of Studio’s cover art, all circles with the circle forming tangents juuust as it touches the square border.

Seeing The Blind See

Time.com’s photo collections are certainly no Big Picture, but I don’t hold that against them, especially when they compile a collection of  photographs like these, all made by blind artists:

Time’s blog introduced me to the images but I found that the University of California Riverside gallery actually has the entire collection available for viewing. The photos are all incredible, blind photographers or no.

They also have a quotations section:

The matter isn't how a blind person takes photographs, but rather why he would want images.
Evgen Bavcar (Featured Artist)

Why do I need my eyes more than another?
It seems to me they never focused anything.
I console myself purely and simply with the thought.
Samuel Beckett

I’m grateful for Samuel' Beckett’s remark, as it is exactly what I was left with after viewing these images.
