Order And Chaos
a: Human mind ~
b: a pile of spaghetti on top of a waffle
What: Order and chaos on the same plate. I wish I could think of another stringy food that goes well with a waffle. That may come to me in the future. This metaphor is appropriate. The human psyche can be thought of in a dualistic way. But at the end of the day it is a whole. A worthy goal in life is to get the spaghetti to merge with the waffle and to taste good on the same plate. The waffle is like a categorical structure like Kant's invocation of Plato's theory of Innate Ideas. The spaghetti the fluid looping of am Aristotelian conceptual framework that helps people to sense and think about the word. They are part of a whole. What other stringy food would go good with a waffle?

a: Photography ~
b: listening to Mozart or Miles Davis
What: "I tend to allow many of my personal aspirations and inspirations in art, literature, music, and science to collide to create new worlds within my photography. It is one of the main reasons that I can never get bored of photography and its promises to fulfill my artistic side. Architectural photography is like listening to Mozart or Miles Davis for me; abstract photography is like translating a novel written in the language of quantum mechanics, and long exposure photography is like standing in a photograph of an eternal Proustian memory cocooned by a harmonious silence. I am very mindful of the ecology I am in, whether it is a city or rural landscape. I study it from all angles. It is almost as if I have to slowly breathe in the scenery, as if allowing a bottle of wine to breathe, so that I can get my senses to acclimate and discover an enlightened aesthetic wherever I happen to be with my camera. Inspiration abounds wherever you are. You just have to allow the nascent eyes that photography gives you to open wide and shut when you feel the inspiration."

a: Hox genes ~
b: Perili tires
What:
"Hox genes are like Perili tires. Even though the Focus and Ferrari can sport the same Pirelli tires, does not mean the cars were produced in the same factory-the Focus is not the ancestor of a Ferrari. The Focus and the Ferrari, while similar, are independent entities."
