Photographer Loves Math, Graphs Her Images
Here are some of the pictures the photographer named Nikki Graziano have captured. Graziano, is a math and photography student at Rochester Institute of Technology, she overlays graphs and their corresponding equations onto her carefully composed photos.
“I wanted to create something that could communicate how awesome math is, to everyone,” she says.
Graziano doesn’t go out looking for a specific function but lets one find her instead. Once she’s got an image she likes, Graziano whips up the numbers and tweaks the function until the graph it describes aligns perfectly with the photograph. See more of her Found Functions series at Nikkigraziano.com.

Just me and Stevie Nicks in the darkroom tonight.

This is a picture of Tree of Codes by Jonathan Safran Foer . (A novel constructed from the dissecting of The Street of Crocodiles.)
So I have been doing some research on this Jonathan Safran Foer since I started reading Extremely loud and Incredibly close (which was recommend to me more than two years ago and by a twist of fate ended up in my living room just as I finished my previous read). I was under the false impression that his books might just be some sort of high budget trashy romance novels, but I have been pleasantly surprised. He seems to champion the realm of Narrative and hyper text on multiple levels and, considering his education background, he is most certainly qualified for the job. I am not too far into this book, but the more I read and the more I learn about Foer the more intrigued I get.
SO, just saying thanks for the recommendation, and happily passing it on to all of you internetees. (Sometimes I like to imagine I have a massive internet following so that I can prolong the delusional thought of “blogging” being a worthwhile use of my time, even though that is thankfully not the case.)

Jenny Saville | Exhibition view at Gagosian Gallery

Head On installation by the renowned Cai Guo-Qiang , consisting of 99 life-sized replicas of wolves.
With few wolves scattered in the front gallery, all ninety-nine wolves run, gallop, and jump toward the far end of the exhibition hall, where a wall stands. The bravery of the wolves is met head on by the unyielding wall. As the leading wolves go down, many more follow with force and determination. As those in the front fall and pile up, those behind take up their positions.
