Beautiful. Their is a video available on YouTube if you care to view it. Also, I'm sure you've seen the movie Memento. If not, check it out. It deals with exactly the topics you are exploring here. It also stars the always excellent Guy Pearce, so how can you go wrong?<br /><br />Sharonsecretleaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936372418431412749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5327697317325646976.post-33226431844528150422009-08-02T22:34:28.517-07:002009-08-02T22:34:28.517-07:00Wow, simply amazing.

And the art that came from those thoughts, utterly awesome! I did a science project back in middle school about the power of pyramids to preserve things under them when one of the corners is pointed directly north. (mummies and such) So I made an experiment where I made two pyramids, one with a corner facing north, and one not. And I cut up an apple and placed a piece under each pyramid and observed the spoilage over the span of a week. And can you beieve it worked! The apple under the pyramid with the north-facing corner was only half as spoiled as the one that wasn't! Anyways, a bit long, but I thought I should share. And again, fabulous post.Nikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10673820464728893469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5327697317325646976.post-75237682610063659982009-07-25T19:01:48.728-07:002009-07-25T19:01:48.728-07:00Oh, that's so beautiful!

And your photos are beautiful.

As a graduate student, one of the topics that really interested me was memory and research related to memories (and how much memory is often fabricated as much as it incorporates bits of truth).
