Evolution of the eye – It is not irreducibly complex The National Center for Science Education has a youtube video about the evolution of eye.

This past weekend, I stared at the above image and spent time looking at works by Matisse. Though I’ll admit it, I always quickly breeze through Henri’s cut-outs. “You have to know how to preserve that freshness and innocence a child has when it approaches things.

Last night, I was preparing the image “Multiverse” for a new postcard (it recently won a Fine Art Abstract award at Prix de la Photographie Paris, Px3).
