Every fact of science was once damned. Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web of culture and ‘progress,’ everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man’s refusal to bow to Authority. We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent. As Oscar Wilde truly said, ‘Disobedience was man’s Original Virtue.’

Remember, remember the 5th of November. The gunpowder, treason, and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.
For those of you who haven’t seen this work of beauty yet: If Earth Had Rings Like Saturn.
I love awkwardness. Some honest, little fleeting moment. This could be anything from a detail of a bent wrist or a subtle personal gesture, to a look the model gives me. Many of the images evolve as my model settles into this quietness. I am inspired by creepy stories, ghosts, old children’s toys, doll heads – things with scars and past lives. Memory’

The Right Brain vs Left Brain Test
Do you see the dancer turning clockwise or counterclockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain. If counterclockwise, the left side. You can also try to change the direction of the girl. (only if you can)
Right side: holistic thought, intuition, creativity, art&music
Left side: analytic thought, logic, language, science and math
What’s really interesting is that if you’ve been looking at photos / have music in the background, you’ll see it spin clockwise, but as soon as you start reading the text and using the linguistic, left-brain functions, the girl changes direction.
