Re: Aesthetics of Failure

I looked for a digital photo of my dad where he turned out wavy like a sine wave turned 90 degrees.   x = sin(y)
I haven't found the photo yet, but it is really weird.
It was taken on the deck just outside of the house.

The umbrella's stick is the bendiest.
The camera cost me $20, and
still works after about 300 pictures.
