Science, art share aerial imagery’s goals – The Boston Globe

150 years ago we had innovative people discovering how to take an aerial photograph and now we have satellites to capture such imagery!

Check out this great article and comparison of images from 1860 and today. James Wallace Black took the first aerial photo of Boston in 1860, left, which is shown next to a Google Earth image of Boston on Oct. 12, 2010.

Science, art share aerial imagery’s goals – The Boston Globe.

Welcome to my new blog!

Hey everyone!  Blogspot ate the last TWO months of my posts, so I decided to switch over to wordpress.  I will attempt to retrieve some of the info as there were a lot of great posts there.  Until then I hope you enjoy the new blog!  Talk to you soon!

Synchronicity, by Fred Pirone: June 14 – June 25, 2010


Synchronicity is a creative project that is influenced by the principles of quantum physics realting to the issues of locality and nonlocality where the idea that objects and even thoughts that are apparently seperate are actually connected through space-time.

Come check out Fred’s work at the reception Friday night, June 18, 2010 from 7-9pm at the Centre Gallery at USF.
