Photo Exploration # 34: Space Within Space

Posted by Eki at 2:22 PM

Space, they say, does not have the boundaries; it's three-dimensional, and the very thing that makes it possible for objects and events to exist. Can that thing we see in the mirror be considered space?

If space is boundless, then it must be. But is the space within the mirror three-dimensional? Is it possible for objects and events to exist - to take place - within it?

Then, there is of course the question of the photograph itself. Is it space? If we stick to the physicist's definition of linear space, it can't be. It has boundaries, the frames. And it's only two-dimensional. However, the photographic "space" does make objects and events exist or can be created to exist.

Let's also consider space's fourth dimension that forms a continuum with time and hence is called spacetime. Now you have the very thing - contentious as it might be - that defines our perception of the universe.

Welcome to space within space.

Photo Essay: The Barongsai Story

Posted by Eki at 3:09 PM

Hello, children! My name's Barongsai. I'm a lion. My ancesstors are from China. They were born about 2,300 years ago. They are pretty old, are they?

Yes, I look fierce. But look at my eyes ... You see ... I'm friendly.

That's why children like you adore me ..., do you?

By the way, I like eating envelopes that contain money, you see. They are called "Lay See" or "Huang Pao". Yummy! Feed me that ..., and I'll dance for you.
