Scenes From Nature + Mathematical Formulas = Poetically Calculated Imagery

Rarely do you hear of a photographer (a person who generally has right brained tendencies) being a mathmetician (a person who generally has left brained tendencies) -- it seems like a complete shake-up of the natural order of things.

Aren't creative people supposed to tap into their whimsically original selves while mathematicians toil over confounding arrangements of fractions, cursive letters and parentheses?

Well, Nikki Graziano can apparently do both.

By melding both the structure of math with the whimsy of art, she has captured organically flowing yet surprisingly poetic images that reflect Mother Nature's dance with order.

The New Yorker's series of four prints, entitled "Found Functions," are priced at just $15.00 each and appeal to the number crunching artist within all of us.

Normally, when I see numbers of any type, I instinctually dry-heave, but I can't help but make an exception for Graziano's work -- I am definitely intrigued.
