Showcase: In Microscopic Realm, Science Reveals Art

I found this on the New York Times website and I think it is a good example how science and art can collide and create beautiful results. The article that accompanies the slides has quotes from the scientists and artists who took the microscopic pictures. It shows attitudes about art from a scientist's perspective. ~Minh Tam Le

van Houtryve

I found a photographer that I thought you might be interested in. His name is Tomas van Houtryve and I found him while looking through the Foreign Policy magazine online for debate and I researched further. He is famous for getting into inaccessible places and has a running project going on to document places in the world that are under oppressive governments, usually communist. I was struck by his photographs of North Korea that he labeled in the Foreign Policy magazine as "The Land of no Smiles."-Adele
