Please excuse my silence on the conversation that has been taking place on this pearl - je ne parlez francais (je suis Canadian, seulement Anglaise! ; >). Francois, please do take this pearl and add it to your "visites virtuelles" - I would then not get copied on all the messages between visitors - oiu? Meanwhile, I will continue to "scour" the www for gems, treasures and more food for the soul. Peace! by seannab Feb 11

Of all God's gifts to the sight of man, colour is the holiest, the most divine, the most solemn. - John Ruskin, 1819 - 1900 by seannab Feb 9

When I first looked at the photos, I thought the “mirror man” was a sculpture. But I found this information from a photographer nicknamed SilverSky who took the pictures, he states “I was in LA and this guy shows up in a suit from head to toe made of glass. I thought it was pretty cool.” Update (September 21st, 2010) : Thanks to reader Fourfirearts for sending the following information: “ the ‘mirror man’ aka ‘ The Collector ‘ is by the artist Gustav Troger of San Francisco & Vienna. He is in North America now on another ‘The Collector’ tour. ” (…) After his space and metal sculptures Troger concentrated on plastic artifacts and mirrors as the raw materials for his work. http://illusion.scene360.com/art/8454/the-mysterious-mirror-man-appears-in-l-a/

Right click (ctrl-click for Macs) the thumbnail and choose Save Image to save. Kaleidosketch is a kaleidoscope-inspired symmetry drawing program. The idea is pretty simple. You draw in the canvas, and Kaleidosketch creates symmetry by rotating and reflecting your drawing in real time. You have control over virtually every aspect of the process.

In 1992 I was just starting graduate school in visual perception. One of the things they showed us in our first days was this painting by Salvador Dali. The professor showed it on a slide projector, and asked us what it was. Of course, we all described the woman looking through the window. With a flourish, he spun the focus on the slide projector’s lens, and we suddenly saw something else – Abraham Lincoln as seen on the U.S. $5 bill. Today we’re used to seeing things like photomosaics that take lots of individual photographs, shrink them, and put them together to create a completely different picture. http://www.scottmcd.net/artanalysis/

http://www.vladstudio.com/home/ Several years ago, when I decided to try and make my living selling Vladstudio accounts ("registrations" at that time), I made four options to choose from (3, 6, 12 mohts and lifetime). Because more choices look more professional! Eventually I got rid of 6 months option, to keep things easier. Now I suddenly realized that I do not like the idea of expiring accounts at all. That is, I do like people returning and making another purchase :-) But the expiring account, as an idea, is something I myself would not be comfortable dealing with.
