9 love messages from Planet Earth

(Saturday, February 7th, 2009)

You’d believe that our planet is in love. It can be read on its face (on its surface) merely under the form of pretty hearts nicely drawn.

Stacey Whaley, fractals

(Sunday, December 7th, 2008)

Stacey Whaley is a painter using the most modern tools available and depending heavily on the mathematical principles of fractals (those graphical figures that tend to repeat themselves at different scales when you zoom in or zoom out).

In most cases, when people follow this path, the result is quite predictable and there are a few compulsory forms (like the Mandelbrot set) that pop in the pictures. Please, check the admirable result of the example above. Stacey is able to create something that is clearly fractal and simultaneously bringing all the personal content that is the mark of the true artist.

Check all her work in http://intergalacticart.blogspot.com/, even if the updates are too few for our pleasure.

Test your color vision

(Sunday, November 23rd, 2008)

Color vision testAre you colour-blind like 5% of European male population? This is the question that will receive an answer here. You will even know the exact form of colour-blindness is yours when browsing to test your colour vision.

You will have to check little images like the one here and indicate what you see (not everybody sees the same thing, it’s not as simple as you’d think first).

Then, the test will speak and you’ll know. It’s barely less precise that a pro optician or a physician eye/vision test. It’s based on exactly the same elements.

Be a beta-tester

(Sunday, October 12th, 2008)

If you have the heart of an adventurer, you may be interested to know that Ijust put in beta-test some new websites that I am working on.

Your opinion will be welcome, but -remember- this is beta-test. So, it is full of bugs, problems, issues and don’t come back and complain if your significant other dumps you because of it.

Note: Most (if not all) of the photo-related news here will be applied to YLovePhoto.com as soon as I feel free with this new web site.
