I’d say, yes.

The Math Kid
A collection of mathematical fascinations, not strictly limited to the subject itself but also people's interactions and interpretations. My curiosity for the subject is infinite, but I try to stay away from the sciences. The thrill lies in the purity, not the application.

Photographer Loves Math, Graphs Her Images
Here are some of the pictures the photographer named Nikki Graziano have captured. Graziano, is a math and photography student at Rochester Institute of Technology, she overlays graphs and their corresponding equations onto her carefully composed photos.
“I wanted to create something that could communicate how awesome math is, to everyone,” she says.
Graziano doesn’t go out looking for a specific function but lets one find her instead. Once she’s got an image she likes, Graziano whips up the numbers and tweaks the function until the graph it describes aligns perfectly with the photograph. See more of her Found Functions series at Nikkigraziano.com.
Why is this garbage still being passed around? It would be a cool post if any of the functions match their pictures. But they don’t. Not even close. The sand mound is enough to make you angry. They didn’t even TRY.
This shit gives mathematicians a bad name.

All the structures in this photo fit inside that big blue cube up at the top. All the round dot pins indicate the ‘directions in common’. Fabiano Schwalb made auto cad illustrations of these models. You can see them @ flickr, click through. -gf

About
Recreational mathematician and aspiring teacher. Grew up a math nerd and consider the subject a major part of my identity. Fascinated by just about everything. Here's hoping this blog will open me up to some more creative outlets. That might be good for me at this juncture in my life :)
