A fantastic little piece from The New York Times excellent photo-jouranlism blog "Lens". The piece, which includes a nifty slideshow, is entitled In microscopic realms, science reveals art.
Just one more way in which the arts, this time photography in particular, can unite disparate fields of knowing in beautiful and unexpected ways. Check it out, y'all!
From the opening paragraphs:
After about 30 years as a travel and nature photographer, Charles Krebs said he was “yearning to see something new and different.”
He remembered taking pictures with a Polaroid through a microscope when he was nine. So he picked up where he left off, only this time with a digital camera and a microscope found on eBay.
“It enabled me to see a lot of new and fascinating things that didn’t involve a lot of travel and carrying around and shipping lots of equipment all over the place,” Mr. Krebs said.
