iPHONE PHOTOGRAPHY


The Guardian in the U.K. has posted online
an extensive page covering nearly all aspects of photography.

There is a section on Mobile Phone Photography

Your phone camera is your best camera, 
because it's always with you.
 When people say this about mobile photography,
 or iphoneography as it's also called,
 they're usually talking about snapping those unexpected moments:
 a man in a banana suit on his way to work; 
a celebrity involved in a punch-up;
 or maybe just a beautiful sunset.
Iphone photography has transformed the
world of Amateur Photography.

If you search YouTube for iphone photography
you will be presented by a nearly endless list
of apps and tips.

HOW DO OTHERS SEE US?

Body language affects how others see us, 
but it may also change how we see ourselves. 
Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how "power posing" --
 standing in a posture of confidence, 
even when we don't feel confident -- 
can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain,
 and might even have an impact on our chances for success.

"In the same way that assuming a "power pose"
builds our confidence,
intentionally engaging in loving,

passionate behaviors
appears to spark romantic excitement."

Dopamine Key to Behavior
Since the beginning of time humans have tended to do
 what feels good - an impulse controlled by the brain.
Now, neuroscientists are starting to unravel how something
 that was a positive impulse thousands of years ago
 can be detrimental to human survival today.

Quote:
"For Beninger, dopamine is the most fascinating neurotransmitter,
allowing us to interact with our environment,
sending us in search of the things we need for survival.
"Something that's biologically valuable, food, for example,
water, sexual partner, social companion, social cooperation,
those are things that activate the dopamine system," he says.

HOW BACTERIA "TALK"

LINK CLICK HERE
 Bonnie Bassler discovered that bacteria "talk" to each other,
using a chemical language that lets them
coordinate defense and mount attacks.
The find has stunning implications for medicine, industry
-- and our understanding of ourselves.
