Doing some research on Geological folds, I came across this photographer who is a professor at the University of Wisconsin. Louis Maher. In '59 he took a trip to capture his own images for a series of educational videos he was putting together for his classes. There are many beautiful images, that are also great for learning about the development and characteristics of the landscapes as per his goal.
Here I wanted to share this specific site that totally blows my mind. You know those hyper-speed videos where you see flowers bloom in a matter of seconds? Imagine seeing the evolution of this rock formation and the land around it sped up over millions of years. If only...

I first saw this photographer on Dazed Digital: here where you can see the amazing infared images of mountains that I prefer to all the others, but as you can see they are very cool. Check out his site: Marco Walker
The Cactus and Succulents that I have been looking at for months are something that my mom knew more about that I thought. When we went to Powell's in Portland, OR I decided to look around at the horticulture books. I have been looking for the right book for a long time, and the images are always very plant-seed-bag-esque. Nothing beautiful or creative about it. Nothing inspiring. Finally, in a totally different section, I found this book randomly hiding among the others on outdoor and indoor garden design, and Zen and Japanese gardens. It is used, It was published in 1977, it cost $7.95. And my flip test was proven effective when I fell in love with the images in this book. They get better each time I go through. So I wanted to share a bit...
rotting onions in my bag...
it seems like a weird prank, but no it was actually me who left a half used onion in my own bag to come home after a three week tour of the States and see it rotting (and thankfully, oddly beautiful) in the side pocket of my weekend bag. The casualty of a dinner party I had, thinking I'd use the rest of this onion...apparently my waste not attitude was overcome and pushed aside by the flurry of fresh new whole vegetables that I brought back from the market...Rue Faubourg Saint Denis... love

here is another entry from the same site the last post links you to-
it is a really beautifully edited selection of Sally Mann's What Remains. Though this is a series which actually troubles me in its entirety, here, out of context and edited, it inspires me. The series is about death and how our consciousness of death can make our lives more meaningful. (Kind of a Vanitas idea) These images evoke an ephemeral feeling- delicate like our lives are.
