Photographer + Mathematician

Crazy Reality

Through the magic of relentless internet bombardment I came across a tutorial of creating a Escher's Droste effect on a photograph. The tutorial is a find in itself, but it also lead me to MathMap, a tool which allows you to apply your own mathematical scripts to any image.

It's my nerd nirvana.

As soon as I was home this evening I got out the lighting, and with an end goal in mind set up a shot that I believed would be a good candidate for an ever repeating spiral to nothing. I used the standalone Cocoa GUI, with my image, and this is the result. I pretty much followed the expression from the tutorial with a little playing on the radius of the spirals.
