...term snapshot aesthetic, but from early on, just like Garry Winogrand and Lee Friedlander, he's been making pictures that are brilliantly open to the flotsam of the visible world, the little accidents of vision and oddball details that snapshots automatically gather up. He is fascinated by American junk-space, the banal stretches of tract housing and strip malls. But there's nothing camp or ironic about Eggleston's work. The power of his pictures rests on their casual but absolute sincerity, their conviction that small is beautiful. There's something very American about this, a valorization of the commonplace...
...enchanting tour guide, but Barlow himself is hard to stomach. His attempts at replicating the misanthropic humor that works so well for fellow food writer Bill Buford (“Heat”) completely miss the mark. His overzealous defense of the pig as an animal worthy of plate space, for example, is not witty and charming, but absurd and disturbing: “You’d roll around in the first effluent you came across [too] if I ripped out your sweat glands and you had no other means of cooling down.” The mockery...

If such visionaries as President John F. Kennedy, rocket designer Wernher von Braun and astronomer Carl Sagan were alive today, we probably would be walking on Mars by now. Let's keep the dream alive. Rick Schreiner, San Marino, California
...developing an apparatus that would simultaneously measure the forces, as well as the aero-elastic properties, generated by the motion of the robotic fly. By running the tests with different types of wings and different trajectories, Wood hopes to correlate the movements and forces with the design space. “Our goals are to uncover patterns in the design space which lead to a particular performance and come up with simplified models of the fluid mechanics interactions, and to come up with design rules,” Wood said. Wood’s research is of interest...
...hardware required to create "e-Palestine" - computers and modems - is certainly in place in the occupied territories and throughout the diaspora. Today, a ubiquitous feature in the Palestinian camps across the Middle East is the internet cafe - a loud, smoky space crammed with young Palestinians clustered around a handful of computers, faces lit up by the glowing screens, communicating with other Palestinians they have never - and may never - meet...
