Micronavigating between Science + Art, a beautiful new book

July 4th 2011 

I am interested in  Martin Oeggerli's work, an internationally established scientific photographer who has developed his own unique work and pictorial style. His photorealistic scanning electron photomicrographs have been published by the well known names in science and photography, such as BBC, Nature, VOGUE and National Geographic. For more on Martin, please follow the following links

His new book 'Micronavigating between Science + Art'  <http://www.micronaut.ch/sidemenu/show/shop_book/home> offers 104 pages of stunning discoveries  - vast, imposing and utterly beautiful. The premium coffee table book was printed in cooperation with the famous BLURB - Bookstore, New York.

BCA BioImages exhibition

In May of 2011, I served as one of 5 judges for the BioCommunications Association's BioImages competition. Several of my current and former students won awards and not because of me. It was gratifying to see their work when compared to other working professionals. If you would be interested in seeing the winners please follow this link:

My first post and objective for this blog

Epiphyseal Plate, Human Joint 2009

I am not sure what was the inspiration to start a blog today June 26th, but I did. My ideas for this blog will be to share things that seem interesting and things I want share exploring all aspects of the Science Image, its creators and other relevant topics including techniques. I am interested to see how a blog might work as a tool in my teaching and how to better use social computing for my professional work and science photography. Thanks for reading and I look forward to the opportunity.
