evolution


I had just printed the picture I posted on February 10th.
When I put it on the counter with my pen,
I saw this.   


I swear I did not set this up;
I couldn't be this clever if I tried.
What I did do is see it
 and take a photo of a photo with my phone.

Last week, I heard a scientist speculate that,
as billions of us are now carrying cameras,
we may actually evolve into another species.
One which thinks and sees differently.
Hmmm...

This is SO cool--looks like your pen is in love with whatever's in the glass.

I, too, am happy that March has arrived--February sucked. And I liked your sunny-side-up egg, though I've never eaten one.

Aren't surprises wonderful? And this was a visual surprise... so perfect for us visual types.

well, that is really remarkable. I like thinking that cameras will change how we see things. I used to wonder if I was missing things by photographing too much....now I think......NAH.
Love the image. It's so cool!

It took me a while to see it. So I took a picture of your blog with my phone and voila!

OK, I was only kidding about that. But I swear sometimes I look at stuff and then when I take a picture with my phone I see something completely different.

Amazing image.
