No Diving

Created by artist Leandro Erlich, this installation is made by suspending a thin layer of water (on a thick piece of glass) over an empty room painted like a pool. He installed two pools, one in New York and one in Japan. It's a beautiful illusion!
Don't try to jump into this pool:

Pre-Baby Couples Shoot Part II: Pancakes with Pear Sauce

Image
Here we have part two of the day's pre-baby shoot. My friend ("J") and her husband ("A") made a blueberry pancakes when we got back to their home after the walk in the park . "A" works as a professional chef at several locations, as well as a personal chef with Chef Bernard during alternate hours in the week. I watched them make the pancakes with pear sauce, and "A" also cut up some veggie for use later on. They maneuvered around the compact kitchen (and the baby bump...).   All done! They were delicious. One more post of photos to come! www.amyhefterphotography.com

Water is so interesting. The two little hydrogen and one little oxygen molecules flow together in solid (ice), liquid (water), or gas (vapor), and can also pick up traces of sediment or leftovers, depending on which environment it runs through. When water is cast off from something, it can behave in different ways. See my  previous post for some odd water behavior. Below are some examples of photographers capturing water being cast off in a logarithmic spiral: spiral from here photo by Arvin Rahimzadeh photo by Cody Slinger photo by Naveen Shunmuganathan via thisiscolossal  and flickr Photographers also have captured paint, milk, coffee, and other liquids demonstrating this phenomenon.

Paris: The Jewish Quarter, Louvre Courtyard and A Phallic Eiffel Tower

Good morning! Bonjour! Today we went to a small cafe in Bastille called  Cafe Truc , which literally means Cafe "Stuff." It was so cutely decorated and we enjoyed a traditional French breakfast here: croissant, pain du chocolat, tea, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. On our way to the Jewish quarter, we passed a museum with the sculpture below. The exhibit was showing all kinds of street sculpture and I recognized this from an article that was shared with me years ago. It reminded me of the other Bruno Catalano sculptures that were debuted in 2013. Pigeon taking a bath. Under the arches on the Place De Vosges: We made it to the Temple Des Vosges, which is an Orthodox shul in the middle of Paris. We were informed that the seats are full every Shabbat, and they have weddings and other special events there regularly. There was also a reception hall that had hand-painted walls with scenes from the Bible: Afterwards, we continued on to the Rue De...
