Profile


Photo Synthesis is a rotating showcase of the best science photography on the web.


tedkinsman.jpgTed Kinsman is a scientific photographer that specializes in creating images for books, magazines, and television. His particular areas of interest are in x-ray radiography, high-speed photography, Scanning electron microscopy, and time-lapse cinematography. His work has appeared in numerous books and magazines ranging from Discover Magazine to Forbes. Recently his work has appeared on Gray's Anatomy and CSI New York. In addition to running www.sciencephotography.com Kinsman also teaches advanced placement physics at Brighton High School in Rochester, NY, he also teaches advanced macro-photography at Rochester Institute of Technology.


BNSullivan150x200.jpg B.N. (Bobbie) Sullivan has a strong affinity for the sea and everything in it. She first learned to dive in 1970 and has since logged thousands of dives. A wish to document the marine life she encountered prompted her to learn underwater photography more than 20 years ago. More recently, she began to write about the marine life she has photographed. A research psychologist by profession, she approaches her subject matter with the mindset of a scientist, but targets her writing to a general readership in whom she hopes to foster an appreciation for the ocean and its inhabitants.

Bobbie lives in Hawaii with her husband. Together they produce TheRightBlue.com, where you can see more of Bobbie's photos and writing.


bjeffersonbolenderOpt.jpg B Jefferson Bolender is Training Coordinator of the State of Arizona's program for disability awareness and assistive technology. Through her travels she always has a camera at hand to photograph everything from people to technology and nature. As a teacher of elementary education, special education and art, her interests include a wide array of subject matter with an emphasis on documentation with an artist's eye.

See more of her work in her photo stream on Flickr and the website atarizona.com.


jurvetson.jpg Steve Jurvetson enjoys rocketry and photography and especially the pursuit of both in the Black Rock Desert. Some action photos and video links can be found here.

Steve is a Managing Director of Draper Fisher Jurvetson (DFJ.com), a leading venture capital firm with affiliate offices around the world.

He was the founding VC investor in Hotmail, Interwoven, and Kana. Previously, he was an R&D Engineer at HP, and his prior technical experience also includes programming, materials science research, and computer design. He has a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, an MSEE and and MBA, all from Stanford University.


alex.jpg Alex Wild is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he works on the molecular phylogenetics of various groups of insects. He is also a part-time photographer whose images appear in such venues as Ranger Rick, Smithsonian, BBC Wildlife, and even ScienceBlogs.

Photo Synthesis: Call for Bloggers

Category: Blogging
Posted on: April 22, 2009 12:53 AM, by Alex Wild

As you may know, Photo Synthesis is a rotating blog, featuring the work of a different photoblogger each month.

The powers that be here at ScienceBlogs tell me they are still considering candidates for the coming month and for following months. So. If you have a favorite science photographer who blogs, or blogger who photographs, send your suggestion to editorial@scienceblogs.com. Or, just post a comment below.

Don't be shy about recommending yourself, either, if you fit the high profile of a Photo Synthesis blogger. Generally, aside from the obvious bit about photography, we here at Photo Synthesis tend to be internationally celebrated, devilishly attractive, charming at parties, proficient at PCR, skilled in fighting street crime, and good with cats.

One sort of expects it in soap ads and such, but in a so-called science blog, to see chimpanzees referred to as monkeys is disheartening.

Unlike monkeys, chimpanzees have no tails. Just like us, chimpanzees are APES.

I have no problem calling chimps monkeys. Or humans monkeys, for that matter.

Monkeys become paraphyletic if we remove apes from the group. And trust me. No one wants paraphyly.

I nominate entomologist Ted MacRae of Beetles in the Bush (http://beetlesinthebush.wordpress.com/).He is moving up to DSLR equipment soon so he can relate his experiences with the new equipment, besides giving the straight poop on the bugs he blogs about.

But Im not sure Im internationally celebrated, devilishly attractive, charming at parties, proficient at PCR or skilled in fighting street crime, and I prefer dogs....

Would you consider a fly fishing/entomology photographer? If so, please contact this gentleman:
