Linking passion together. An article, "She Calls It 'Phenomena.' Everyone Else Calls It Art", from The New York Time (June 12, 2007), caught my eyes. The images are from Felice Frankel, an research scientist as well as a photographer. She discovered the beauty of science from her camera and image manipulation. She pointed out, she didn't like take pictures of people that much, because you are too dependent on them to make a good picture. With architecture, you have to rely on your own sense of composition. It is very interesting points. On the contrary, I like to have people in my pictures though not necessary being the main subject. I think I am more interesting in the talking/communication between the human and environment.
One of the first photographs she made in Dr. Whitesides's lab, water droplets arrayed on a slide with a water-repellent grid, ended up on the cover of the journal Science. Since then, Dr. Whitesides said, "her impact on scientific communication has been very large, in the way science talks to science and science talks to the world outside science."
Based on her great sense of color and design, plus her passion at science, her photography is so different from others. It speaks out the beauty of science to the world.

Reflection: it is important to have personal own vision of photography.
