When I first saw Aydın Büyüktaş’ roller-coaster-like drone photo of a Train Yard, I knew right away how he took the photo: Start the drone camera high above the train yard looking straight down.

Everyone seemed to enjoy my post about prompting “A highly detailed airbrush painting, using a parametric equation to create captivating art” so I decided to cover a number of other mathematical terms used as prompts: Infinite Geometric Series Finite Geometric Series Binomial Expansion Taylor Polynomial (When I used “Taylor Series” it thought I wanted pictures […]
Even though I’ve always had in mind to be an art director and illustrator, I’ve also been a bit of a math geek. In high school, one of my majors was math, studying Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Algebra, and Solid Geometry. I also belonged to the Math Club and the Calculus Club after school. In college […]
