The weather’s been great the past 2 days. This is one of my favorites from a batch I shot this morning: Nico just lost in thought…

Zen Master

Charlie Rose interview with master photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson.

The comments from viewers at the page linked above are almost as good as listening the master.

Grand Unified Theory?

“Now comes a paper which argues that one branch of the subject—geometry—could form the basis of all the laws of physics.”
- The Economist, November 22, 2007

Several elements of the story make it even more intriguing. Apparently the paper’s author, Garrett Lisi, isn’t a professor anywhere – like Einstein in 1905.
