the numerical singularity.
after decades of watching the benford probabilities for sixes and nines slowly and almost imperceptively skew towards zero, agent affords had finally found the culprit.
a flower so dense that not a single six or nine could escape, which naturally and inevitably results in a numerical singularity of sorts. [ view large ]

GrandaSondra: "You are on explore with this shot. Good Job."
ha! i didn't know Grandmas went exploring :-)
given all the nice comments, i decided to enter it into the photodoto contest ( the very first photo contest i've ever entered ), but there's some pretty tough competition.

oh, no. i know i'm not going to win. i bet it's in the contest fine print that no photo that gets blogged shall win :-)
noonespillow: "Great macro! I think I can see the fibanocci sequence.. awesome!"
is it some kind of record to capture a numerical singularity, the fibonacci sequence and (maybe) the golden ratio all at once?

beauty with brains
snowdeal (74 months ago | reply)
cool! let it forever be known that the photodoto contest was the very first photo contest i ever entered and i got an honorable mention!
clearly though, john was giving me the sympathy vote given the quality of the other photos.
fd (74 months ago | reply)
Not at all! It's a very striking image. Or maybe the other 57 people who favorited this don't have any taste either? ;-)
