POPS More Reason's to Love my Microscope Can you see the duallities here? The first one looks like blackberries. So many of them look like popular fruits like oranges and strawberries, etc. There is one that looks like a waterfall landscape and some look like flower gardens. Fascinating and beautiful. To think that some of these common slime molds may hold the keys to cures for the most horrific diseases that plague the human race, is the scientific side of it. The sheer beauty is the aesthetic side. All of it is wonderous to me.

POPSTime Chrystallized Howard Schatz, courtesy of Sony World Photography Awards 2009 Some images are so expressive that time seems to stand still, and nowhere is this more so than in the work of virtuoso fine art photographer Howard Schatz. Schatz’s photography fabulously captures the elegance of the human form, and his Motion Study series gives the grace with which the body can move a uniquely mesmerizing dimension. Moments in time are protracted and preserved – crystallized alongside one another in captivating fragments. The effects are spellbinding, as we appreciate the finely tuned abilities of athletes performing at their peak. Above, energy is coiled and then released in an amazing spiral-patterned image of a golfer’s swing.
