Forensic Proof

To follow up on my previous post, Intelligent Designs, I was able to photograph a rare phenomenon that provides forensic evidence to prove the claims of proponents of Intelligent Design. The unaltered photo below should finally put the debate to rest :)

Photo of the Week:  It Looks Intelligent To Me

Palm fronds from an abstract design (Douglas Page)

You don’t have to look to far to find amazing designs in the world around you. Of course for me, living in Hawaii – surrounded by lush tropical foliage and spectacular natural wonders, it is a little easier. But no matter where you are, design is all around you, especially in nature.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re probably aware of the debate over ‘Intelligent Design’ – the proposition that life is too irreducibly complex to have just happened by random natural selection, and therefore was designed by some intelligent entity. In looking at and photographing the designs I find in the natural world around me, I find it virtually impossible to disagree with that proposition.

If you have been living under a rock, there are undoubtedly some amazing designs on or in it. If you haven’t yet noticed them, you’ll just have to look more closely.

Another Day in Paradise

Photo of the Week:  Waimea Sunrise
 (Douglas Page)

Creating a great Photo of the Week is not exactly difficult when you live on a beautiful tropical island, within minutes of sweeping beaches and pounding surf. With good reason, the world famous North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii is the veritable epicenter of the surfing world.

When the surf hits 20 feet or more, the shorebreak wave at Waimea Bay becomes an awe inspiring glimpse of nature’s power. Shortly after sunrise on a clear morning, the rays of the sun slice down Waimea Valley to cast shafts of light on the thundering shorebreak waves.

Think Small

People are always saying “think big”, as if nothing else matters. While I have big ideas and big dreams, I’m not really one to follow the crowd or do what I’m told. So I thought I’d think small for a change and make my camera do some of the thinking … and let my photos do most of the talking.  After all, isn’t it the little things that really matter? Leave me reply below to let me know what you think.

A Thousand Words

I have finally entered the blogoshpere. Welcome to my new blog. Each week I’ll feature a Photo of the Week — one of my newest photographs that I’ve added to my website Photography Portfolio: www.DouglasPage.com.

As we all know, “a picture is worth a thousand words”, so I won’t have to ramble on. My photographs can speak for themselves.

And while every picture tells a story, that story is different for every viewer because of their own individual experiences and the emotions or memories that photo triggers in their mind. There is also the story of how that photo came to be, so I’ll share with you the story behind the creation of the photograph.

Photo of the Week: Sunburst Through the PalmsSunburst through a palm frond in Hawaii (Douglas Page)

I’ve always had a fascination with sunbursts. I’m referring to that magical, beautiful moment when the sun just barely emerges from behind a rock or tree or leaf and ‘bursts’ into rays of light radiating out from the source. This photo captures one of those moments, as the sun bursts through a perfect palm frond on the beach in Hawaii. The rest of the story — the soft trade winds in the palms, the roar of the surf, the smell of plumerias, the warmth of the tropical sun on your skin — is yours to imagine. Bon voyage.
