A Tricolored Heron at Corkscrew Swamp in Florida stood in a breathtaking ray of light, illuminating a tiny section of an otherwise dimly lit swamp late in the day. The heron used the angle of light to perfectly illuminate fish passing by and captured them. I stood in amazement at the utter magic this particular quality of light gave on the bird. It was a stunning moment where this single ray of light gave me one of the most spectacular lighting moments ever in photography.

11 Mar 13. During my Ph.D. years at Drexel University I became very interested in fractal mathematics, in general because they could generate some rather beautiful patterns, and in particular because many of these patterns directly imitate patterns seen in nature, such as the venation of leaves, the branches of plants, or the layout of the vascular or neural networks. I would have loved to have spent a lot of time studying this branch of mathematics, but a 3 year time limit imposed by the Navy in which to complete the degree left precious little time to complete the requisite courses, let along branch off into a personal area of interest. But that hasn't kept me from continuing to look into the field, and as software has become available I've spent some time looking into the fractal nature of things. Those of you who have been paying attention to my creative stuff may recall that I've mentioned software produced by Redfield Plugins, and in particular, fractalius. This piece of software looks at the fractal nature of an image and tries to exploit that information. While I look at many images with it, I share only a few. Growing up there was a large pampas grass plant near the back end of our property, and I was always enamored by its graceful movements in the wind. To this day I still love watching that plant undulate in a breeze. Last year while visiting friends in the S.F area I came upon a large ditch that was populated with many of the plants. As there was a bit of a breeze, they were putting on quite a show. I took a few shots of which a couple turned out O.K. I worked up one for sharing but then decided to look at it with fractalius. What you see today is the original with the fractalized version overlayed and then rendered slightly transparent hopefully providing for the best of both worlds.
