There is a Light that Never Goes Out
posted by Adam Nathan
There is a Light that Never Goes Out. This is a generous and touching tribute to the final days of an ex-husband and parent of one’s children. Many will recognize the generosity of this writer’s ex-husband’s final hours and the dynamics of the bedside good-bye. Anger and forgiveness become almost inconsequential in the face of human […]
Fugue by Roberta Flack – A Musical Experiment
posted by Adam Nathan
I’ve been listening to a lot of Bach this week. The same piece of Bach over and over, specifically Joao Carlos Martins performing BWV 1058, the second movement, the Andante. Martins practically bangs on the simple bass line. He plays with an insistence that feels like it should be against all the laws of classical […]

Once visitors enter the perimeter of ‘Audience’, the mass of mirrors select an individual they find interesting and turn to face them in an inquisitive, synchronised movement. The chosen member of the audience sees their reflection in every mirror; the subject […]
Tilt-Shift-Fall-Over-Sideways
posted by Adam Nathan
Design site Enpundit.com features some stunning, and a tiny bit disturbing, “tilt-shift” photographs of real-life scenes: train stations, construction sites, football stadiums, oil tankers that create the illusion of a model train set. In the images people look like toy figurines, water looks formed from molded plastic, super-saturated colors recall painted children’s toys. If modern day […]

This image has not been Photoshoped. Before you read how it was done on his site, see if you can figure it out. Very, very clever. The photographer, Patrick Latter, has a number of highly-inventive stunning pictures taken at high-speed.
