Photography: Yiming Hu


Award-winning photographer Yiming Hu specializes in landscape photography  If his work seems familiar, it's because it's so often featured in magazines such as National Geographic Traveler China. He believes that the extraordinary beauty of nature is not solely to be limited to the majestic national parks in the American West. It exits in every corner of our ordinary world, waiting to be discovered at nightfall.

Photography: Glowworm


The Waitomo Glowworm Caves attraction is a cave at Waitomo on the North Island of New Zealand, known for its population of glowworms, Arachnocampa luminosa. This species is found exclusively in New Zealand. They are around the size of an average mosquito, and they leave the caves looking like something from a scene out of Avatar.

Painting: Tomorrow Land


Acrylic on Muslin
"The images start with the simple juxtaposition of large shadows over aerial views of depressed and abandoned locations.  The shadows cast are of things that symbolize, what I refer to as, "Aspirational Technology". These are things that represent, or at one point represented, the progress of our technological civilization and the glory which a high-technology future would bring.  The locations depicted are towns, neighborhoods and population centers which have been recently abandoned due to industrial negligence.  These areas represent the hubris of our species and lack of foresight that has been so catastrophic over the history of human civilization.  For me these works embody my optimism along with a realism about what we as a species are capable of."

Photography: Found Functions


Found Functions is a collection of photographs that rather elegantly demonstrate the beauty of mathematics by juxtaposing graphs and functions against landscapes.

Nikki Graziano is a math and photography student at Rochester Institute of Technology; some of her photographs were recently featured in Wired. Graziano "overlays graphs and their corresponding equations onto her carefully composed photos. ... 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."
