Seeing, in the finest and broadest sense, means using your senses, your intellect, and your emotions. Good seeing doesn't ensure good photographs, but good photographic expression is impossible without it. - Freeman Patterson (http://www.freemanpatterson.com)

I was watching a documentary on the amazon rain forests on NGC. As usual, the program was wonderful, but one sentence which the narrator said captured my attention. Somewhere in the middle of the sentence, he said "Everything here depends on everything else".
I thought it was a super cool statement! A bit of googling and net-search revealed that, ancient scholars called this - 'Pratityasamutpada'. Which in a nutshell (thats my brain-size) means 'the cause and the effects are inter-dependent and inter-linked'.
I am science guy, biological science, to be precise. To me this converts to advocating the idea that scientific problems in biology should be addressed using a systems biology approach and not the more common and widely practiced reduction-istic approach.
As of now, I shall just wait, watch, shoot and post....when time permits.
cheers!!!

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
According to Mr. Gandhi, these are the stages of a winning strategy of non violent activism, against the 'galloping imperial forces of the mighty British empire'. I don't think many (of the few) people outside my family who read this blog would understand why I highlighted the last part of my previous sentence. (The statement has an undercurrent to it, kind of a heat seeking missile, and I know it will find its target).
I too had, not exact but similar experiences when I had bought my camera (and a dry cabinet to keep them) couple of yrs ago . But then I excelled Mr.Gandhi, ...Just Imagine Churchill, Attlee and Mountbatten in Khadi whites with a gandhi topi.
Dear all...I achieved that.
