A French engineer designed a special camera and created a 240 million pixel image of the painting.

The device scanned a 240-million pixel image using 13 light spectrums, including ultra-violet and infrared.

The resulting ultra-high resolution photograph of 150,000 dots per inch yielded a reproduction of the "Mona Lisa's" face magnified 24 times. And there Cotte found the evidence he sought -- a single brushstroke of a single hair above the left brow.

illofriblanket.jpg"Winter is not a season; it's an occupation."  Sinclair Lewis

In the midwest we have been blanketed with snow again today.  It makes me want to crawl underneath a blanket and not come out until May.  My Aunt Mary taught me how to crochet many years ago--I made this when I was in high school.  I'm glad to see knitting and crochet come back into vogue.

This is a digital illustration of a crocheted blanket I have on my office side chair.

Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?

illofriexcess2.jpgThe IF theme this week is excess.  I set out to take a picture of every single clock in the house.  I missed several--forgot about the basement, didn't go into our son's room to get two in his room.  I didn't count the clocks in our cordless phones or our PCs or the timer on our Christmas tree lights.  Photoshop manipulation.
