In my History of Photography class, we have been recently discussing what makes photography unique from all other art forms. As a primary-painter, I sometimes struggle to see the "art" in photography, particularly digital photography which is so easily accessible to everyone, so having a conversation devoted to what it is that makes photography independently important & able to do something that no other form of art could accomplish was really interesting and semi-revolutionary in the way I think about it. These images are of brain cells & of galaxy clusters. Without photography, we would have no way to share images of the micro or macro. We have been studying photography in the Fine Art sense, but I think that the science aspect of photography is equally as fascinating and can also be considered "art" in a way. These two "science" images are quite beautiful, and when placed together to note the resemblance, I think something really beautiful is conveyed. I just found this incredible, and if it weren't for photography, I would have never known about it.
