Broadcast (2011) If you have ever wondered what would happen in your own home if you were taken away and everything inside was left to rot, the answer is revealed in this programme which explores the strange and surprising science of decay. For two months, a glass box containing a typical kitchen and garden was left to rot in full public view within Edinburgh Zoo. In this resulting documentary, Dr George McGavin and his team use time-lapse cameras and specialist photography to capture the extraordinary way in which moulds, microbes and insects are able to break down our everyday things and allow new life to emerge from old. Decay is something that many of us are repulsed by, but as the programme shows, it's a process that's vital in nature. And seen in close up, it has an unexpected and sometimes mesmerising beauty.

This music -- which sounds like a moody piano soundtrack for a existentialist movie about a rainy day -- is made by slicing a tree in cross-section, sticking it on a turntable, and dropping a tone-arm with a PlayStation Eye Camera in the head, and processing its output through Ableton Live. It's called Years, and it was created by Bartholomäus Traubeck.

Leave Me Alone!

Hey it's fall!! .. . .and I'm postn an image from last spring. I never really ever get caught up on image processing so I never think I'm really behind on it. Maybe photography to me isn't a current event?

This Santa Monica Mountain view is part of a mediterranean habitat covers about 2% of the land on earth not covered by water. In North America you can only find this habitat in California. I think it's a very unique habitat that often gets over looked by the people who live in it! With California's big 4 popular photos spots (Yosemite, Big Sur, Eastern Sierra and Death Valley) it's too easy to pretend like it doesn't exist.

The poppies never did open up that day, the sun just couldn't break through the clouds enough.
