Best Camera of 2012: And the Winner is...
Just before Christmas we invited you, our readers to tell us what you thought was the best camera of 2012. This year was one of the busiest that any of us can remember, and saw serious new products from all the major manufacturers. This was the year of the groundbreaking 36MP Nikon D800, the incredibly ambitious Olympus OM-D as well as an all-new system cameras from Fujifilm, with the innovative X-Pro 1 and X-E1. Sony had an amazingly busy year as well, bringing us the great value SLT A-57 and the feature-packed SLT-A99, along with a host of NEX upgrades. Canon wasn't idle either, and consolidated its enthusiast-oriented DSLRs with the long-awaited EOS 5D Mark III and, at the end of the year, the EOS 6D. Meanwhile, Pentax revamped its popular K-5 with the new K-5 II and K-5 IIs and introduced its first large-sensor mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, the K-01 which was... interesting.
Our shortlist didn't contain the K-01, but we've gone over the figures, made a list and counted it twice, read most of the comments (and thanks to the majority of you who kept them constructive) and now we're ready to give you the results! So without further ado, with almost 15,000 votes and almost 1500 comments, here are the top three cameras of 2012, as voted by you, dpreview readers.
In third place... Canon EOS 5D Mark III
Canon's EOS 5D and 5D Mark II were hugely successful cameras, making the 5D Mark III one of the most anticipated new releases of the year. The 5D Mark III has a 22MP full frame sensor in a body that's based on the EOS 7D design, and with a 61-point AF system borrowed from the flagship EOS-1D X. Compared to its predecessor the Mark III is essentially a completely new model, with every major system upgraded and updated.
When we reviewed the 5D Mark III back in March we praised its excellent Raw image quality, reliable metering and fluid ergonomics. Thanks to its greatly improved AF system and a few well thought-out tweaks to the rest of the feature set the 5D Mark III is in many ways the camera we wanted the 5D Mark II to be, and it was easily one of the top cameras of 2012.

In second place... Nikon D800 / D800E
Purely from the point of view of specification, Nikon's D800 and its sister model the D800E drew a lot of attention in 2012. Successor to the venerable D700, the D800 tripled that camera's pixel count and included several features borrowed from the professional D4, at around half the price. The D800E variant offers improved resolution for $300 more, thanks to an innovative sensor design that has the effects of its anti-aliasing filter cancelled out. Both cameras offer a very compelling video specification, too.
We were highly impressed by the D800 and D800E when we tested them in June, both by the performance of their 36MP sensors, and also their handling, which on the whole, improves upon previous models in some meaningful ways. Of all the cameras we tested during 2012 we kept going back to the D800 because of its addictive blend of excellent performance, solid image quality and pleasant ergonomics. This is one camera whose specification is unlikely to look out of date anytime soon.

And in first place... The Olympus OM-D EM-5
Pipping the Nikon D800/E by one percentage point in the overall count, the Olympus OM-D EM-5 won out in this year's poll by a whisker. Although a very different camera to the D800, the OM-5 EM-5 is a seriously impressive product. With the launch of the E-M5, Olympus harks back to one of its most fondly-remembered camera systems - the Olympus OM range of 35mm SLRs. Initially the E-M5 looked like it might simply be an upgraded E-P3 with a built-in viewfinder, but in use it proved much more than that - probably the most competent enthusiast mirrorless camera so far.
When we reviewed the OM-D in April we commented on its excellent image quality which at that point set a benchmark for Micro Four Thirds cameras. As we'd expect from Olympus it's also an incredible customizable camera, and with the huge range of compatible Micro Four Thirds lenses available it's also one of the most versatile. About the only thing the OM-D can't do well is continuous autofocus, but if you can live with this limitation, it stands as one of the best cameras currently on the market, and a worthy winner of our poll.

Thanks so much for voting, for reading, and for commenting. I'm really looking forward to 2013, and as we end this busy year I'm sure that you'll join with me in welcoming two new members of the reviews team, Jeff Keller from The Digital Camera Resource Page, and Shawn Barnett, formerly of Imaging Resource. I'm very excited to have them both on board as we move into a new year, and everyone on the team - Amadou, Kelcey, Lars, Richard, Jeff, Shawn and me are looking forward to delivering some great content for you in 2013. Happy New Year!
Barnaby Britton - reviews editor.
It is a ploy by canikon. Some of their executives have been called to the boardroom.
Interesting to see this camera has won. I use a D4 and D800E but I like the result. It looks like the Oly is a nice camera. I'm not surprised about this arguing stuff here. But congrats, Olympus!
You would be appalled if you tried the OMD when being used to a D4/D800E (I was really chocked that the IQ wasn't any better). Any newer DSLR be it FF or APS-C beats it in IQ. It also has rather bad ergonomics because it is quite small, mediocre EVF, not very good high ISO performance and only contrast detection AF. If you want a great portable camera that is really pocketable, but of course without interchangable lenses, the RX100 is a much more sensible choice which is not very far from the OMD in IQ.
I'm glad your pictures are so good that they need and deserve all that extra FF IQ.
This poll is only relevant to DPreview readers, didn't actually prove anything.
No doubt at all Oly OMD is a top-notch camera, but I feel that Sony RX1 should deserve the title, though I don't own the camera nor intend to buy one. By the way, I love the looks of OMD above other cameras.
Yeah, it has won at two whole other unsignificant sites, among the hundreds of other more significant sites that picked other cameras like the Sony RX1
The main question that Sony had to ask themselves before doing the RX1 may have been if there is a market for it.
A big sensor with just a fixed prime lens and no viewfinder to make as small as possible is not so much of a miracle.
As good as it may be there is not much in it what one would call a significant achievement.
Olympus are the Apple of cameras. Soon the dslr will die with rhe PC generation
and you get to camp outside the camera store for 24hours before you get to buy one off some smarmy sales git who looks down on you for actually buying the product
I flew to japan just to get one. I hear they are better built for the asian market.
Okay, so the EM-5 won... but the Nex 6 wasn't even an /option/ in the poll?
When NEX-6's bugs will be fixed it can participate to the contest.
I tried both, and indeed on paper the NEX6 seems to win, but in real life the EM-5 definitely is the winner.
Why didn't YOU request for the Nex6 to be added to the poll following the instructions with the poll?
Just used Oly OM-D for a new year eve party in very low light and everyone loved the pictures!!!!! All we need is more very fast lenses for it (like F/1.2)
I am very happy with the OMD and I would have voted for it but I didn't know about the poll being busy shooting and with the holidays. It amazes how people want their brand to always be the best, the OMD is a tool that I use to capture images with and if some one likes the same camera thats great, we can share knowledge or a lens and go shooting if not we can still go out and do what we enjoy which is taking photo's!
I rarely see gear heads out shooting but I see a lot people with point and shoots because they are light and satisfy the needs of their users, I have a DSLR that never gets used, it is too heavy and the OMD works for me!
Who would have thought a topic like this would get so many comments! :)
Quick rundown (rounded):
Traditional SLR : 49% of the votes
Mirrorless: 32%
"Compact" 13%
So while people may be claiming this signals the end of the mirror, I don't think we are anywhere close.
E-M5 voter here.
DLSRs are still better for fast action photography. Also, a camera with a mirror is more enjoyable to shoot with, although the results are not always better (manual focus, for example).
I hope both DSLRs and mirrorless are around for the long haul.
Not the end of the mirror, just increasingly viable alternatives.
When you consider that serious mirrorless didn't really come on the scene until about three years ago, while the dslr has been around for at least 12 years, and the design has been around for about sixty years, the rate at which mirrorless is gaining on the dslr is impressive.
Ironically, this is the most successful mirrorless and it mimics DSLR design, so what does that tell us about the SLR form factor?
Great cameras! Still enjoying my N5 with all the great new lens coming out and prefer to wait for the new FF Nex
It all comes down to how the camera feels to YOU, and if it has the features and specs that YOU want. I have long contended that all of the modern DSLRs are more capable than the photographers using them. So, if someone tells me that brand A is better than brand B, or model C is better than model D I simply ask if they have tried them out for themselves. If they say yes, I say great. If they say no, I say Well------.
To me, the m43 sensor size is a FEATURE, not a compromise.
With the kit lens and the Olympus 70-300, I have no problems reaching from 24mm to 600mm equivalent. It is relatively inexpensive, and easy to carry.
Any Nikon fans want to comment how much it would cost, and how heavy it would be, to carry the equivalent lenses for the D800? Also, would those lenses be good enough to resolve the sensor, so that I'd be getting some extra resolution for my $2,000 (+ lenses!) cost over the E-M5?
I have a 600mm straight up film lens for Minolta MD, and it is a LOAD. It weights more than my GH2 and all of my lenses combined. I imagine we're talking about something like that for the D800.
See, these are the kinds of features that matter to many people. (Not all people--I'm not making that claim. We have different needs.) Not extra resolution that doesn't show up in prints, but cost, portability, and very, very high IQ that is good enough even for most professional uses.
How much did all that cost you Bob?
I think for pretty much the same investment I am enjoying 24-1200mm on my Nex5n.
OK, I think my sigma 120-400 plus 2xTC on the L2(-1200 Eqv) is a bit larger than your setup I still get to have PDAF and can afford the 35mmF1.8 OSS along with the kit 18-55 and a pancake 16mm that fits into my pants pocket. Err ok, hey Mr. is that a camera in you pocket? Yeah but you can't do that with the OM-D
It didn't cost much at all.
GH2 + kit lens = $700 (I bought it new, but late in the cycle)
Olympus 70-300 = $300 or so? (can't remember, bought it with my E-510)
Panny adapter = $110 or so? (can't remember, something like that)
So I've got 24mm-600mm equivalent for about $1200
If I wanted to get a cheap m43 body, I could have done it for less than $1,000, maybe even less than $800, given current prices for 1rst generation m43 bodies.
I also have lots of old manual glass, but I'm not counting that.
My point is, how could I possibly afford or carry all of that, if I went the D800 route?
Loss in IQ from m43 to D800 = minimal
Loss of flexibility in focal length = MAJOR MAJOR PROBLEM, means that I am spending $X,000 more or even $XX,000 more to get the same focal lengths and IQ on FX, and that doesn't even count all the extra weight I am hauling around.
There are very solid arguments why m43 sensor size is a FEATURE, a very good choice by Panny and Oly.
All the cameras are great. Personally being a Nikon man I think the D800E is a better camera than the 5D MkIII though I wouldn't say no to any of the top three :)
I wonder how many people actually own this camera...
Olympus probably sold just a few of them...
On the other hand, hundreds of thousands of Canons and Nikons were sold in 2012
CIPA numbers say that approximately 13.7 milion DSLRs were shipped for 2012 (through October).
Mirrorless shipments for the same time were about 3 million with Olympus being a major player.
Just a few clicstudio? Really? There are actually hundreds of thousands of OMDs in users hands!
I was waiting at the camera store for the delivery truck to drop off my OMD since I preordered...
Suppose if they had sold more than the ot ten or twenty worldwide. The win would be by a landslide over here!
C'mon guys, get over it. OMD is obviously not just a very good camera, it is also likable and lovable.
D800e is the surprise here, because to somebody like me who is not so much into DSLRs there does not seem to be that much of a difference between the D800 and the 5DMarkIII. I mean - both are great.
So - cut yourself a little slack here and enjoy what ever camera you consider best for you as I hope you got yourself the best. I would.
Nokia 808 PureView (41 MP 1/1.2" CMOS, 7728x5368 pixels), Carl Zeiss Tessar 26mm (35mm equiv.) f/2.4 RULEZ!
As a D800 and RX100 user, I wonder if micro 4/3 appeals to shooters who would be equally well served by today's very competent compact cameras.
Denis, can you swap lenses on those competent compact cameras? Do you get a sensor that is only fractionally smaller than APS-C?
I think you're missing the point of micro 4/3.
Not even close. With my GH3 and 25 1.4 lens I can shoot in low light at ISO 6400 and still get very acceptable web size images.
New Poll:
How many here think this poll was flawed by the overzealouse fanboys who keep trying to say it wasn't?
I agree that the overactive but perhaps well intentioned activity in the olympus forums have put a cloud of suspicion on would/should/could have been a fun poll. Nothing against the the OM-D its a fine camera, but for the money with its size and some of its issue with focus I have to wonder if it won fair and square.
I think I'm paranoid person, but I would not go so far...
After all, either team has overzealous fanboys with identical level of intellect and capabilities to obstruct the fairness of the poll. So be suspicious about one side only does not fill profile.
OM-D focus issues? It has known limits with action, but seems to be the most reliable auto focus I've used, fast too. Good bye to all those old time front/back focus issues. This really is a popularity contest, just a bit of fun after all.
I enjoyed this poll and the comments. I liked the comment that the best camera is the one you have with you, and am among the fearless 40 who chose the Oly XZ-2 for this reason. Yes, the Sony RX's may have better IQ but I chose the camera which seemed best fit to my requirements. For me the Canon G15 would run a close second. But of course, I'm not a professional, some commentators would might call me "not serious", but seriously, why worry?
Happy new year everybody, and have fun making pictures!
Hmmm....I'm not sure about the how the poll goes, but i would agree with someone here that not all of us can put our hand on all of these gears and gives honest opinion.
I still use 5D II and saving $$$ for 5D III (and yes, i have tried 5D III from some of my friends who own it).
Anyway, it's interesting that Olympus gets in 1st place and i'd love to try it out...
This is just a poll. There is no poll that can satisfy everybody. This poll too. Moreover, polls come and go, and we will be the same
The oft stated notion that you "should have to use all the cameras before you can vote" is both silly and laughable.
Even the wealthiest gearhead doesn't own all 14 cameras. And the only people who have even touched all 14 are probably sales people for B&H.
I think it is a fair assumption that everyone who voted in this poll owns a camera of some sort, and knows something about what they they like and don't like about all these new cameras.
Remember... this was just a poll. Not an in depth review!
Olympus has done a fantastic job with EM-5. Especially when they are in financial crisis . Bringing this camera and whole lot of new lenses into system has made micro 4/3 format the most comprehensive mirrorless camera system on market.
It did not happen too often that this poll to be won out by a non CaNikon product. Now, as Olympus has just done that, I think they must continue to develop those features which brought them the title .
It will not be easy, but they certainly do have the will and capacity to make the OM heritage to shine again for many years to come.
Another view, based on thread count today:
1. Nokon D800 223,606
2. Olympus E-M5 52,216
3. Sony RX100 42,264
4. Canon EOS 5D Mark III 4,582
Too bad there isn't a way to limit votes to those who have actually owned the camera they vote for.
Do those numbers represent complainers? Owners? Wanna-bes? 12 year olds?????
Anyway, limiting votes to owners in a poll like this is silly.
This wasn't an owner's poll.
Re:"Too bad there isn't a way to limit votes to those who have actually owned the camera they vote for."
I guess that would mean I'd get TWO votes since I own two OM-Ds! ;-)
Do really think that most of the participants in 223,606 D800 threads actually own the D800? And BTW - Where did you get that number? Got a link?
That's like saying Rhianna is the best musician of 2012 because more people talk about her, when in reality she's fluffy-pop trash.
Popularity is not a measurement of quality. Ever.
@Husaberg Grok
So a twelve year old isn't allowed to have an opinion? Grow up, Husaberg Grok! signed, Son of Cobblers (9).
I like the name loadofcobblers!
What I was saying, cobblers son, is that the post count of the various contenders mentioned by gulffish has little or zero relationship to a camera's qualities. Particularly when we don't know the content.
Why would I want to grow up? I wish I were 12 again! I hold 12 years olds in high esteem, it is clear you do too! I saw some excellent photos by youngsters at the "Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2012" exhibit in the Royal Victoria Museum. Not one camera used was in this poll either.....
Happy New Year! Keep snapping!
If you only vote for the camera you own, how do yo know it is better than the ones you don't own?
Hopefully because we checked the others out first and purchased the best one. Does that help you?
It would be a shame if a significant number of voters were people who had no experience with the camera or similar ones. I can't speak for them, but as for myself, biased as I may be as an E-M5 owner, I can safely say it's one heck of a camera.
Bravo Oly, a little surprising but well deserved no doubt. Curious about the K-01 getting its own side remark, especially given that DPR didn't even review the camera themselves but rather cut-and-pasted someone else's review ! The DPR team has obviously not remained indifferent to it though if they thought it deserved a "special mention" ! Tx DPR, any publicity is good for Pentax ;-)
Like ManuelVilarde says, we would need to try all of them.
I don't know about placement on his poll, I am not familiar with the OM-D EM-5 nor the Nikon D800, but as owner of a 5D Mk3 I think it deserves a place among 2012 best of.
Methinks there are way too many oldsters here reminiscing of the Olympus glory days especially the OM-2... The OM-D captures the 'spirit' of the OM-2 quite well (is there an all-black OM-D?)
Yes, there are two models, a silver/black model, and an all-black one.
Isn't the pl5 important? It has 99% of the OMD and half the volume and the weight. It is pocketable with a prime!! Same IQ, tilt, touch.
In my own case I had no desire to get an M4/3 or PEN camera (which I have tried) before the OM-D came along, and it was the design of the OM-D that encouraged dSLR users from other bands to look at this format. The PL5 is just another PEN.
The EPL5 has the same sensor but it does not look like it was designed in the 19th century. Obviously the antique design is the factor that will attract the DSLR owners to CSC's rather than what is inside.
I have to agree with some of the comments by ManuelVilardeMacedo and Gully Foyle. This poll is interesting but really a popularity contest- how many people actually had the opportunity to try or use more than one of these cameras? Also it is difficult to compare such dramatically different cameras. How can you really compare the OM-D to a D800? They really have different purposes. As a full time professional I use both DSLRs and M43. So one has to look at this as just a fun or silly endeavor like People's choice awards.
Why can't the E-M5 win the best camera? Because it's sad to see $3000 DSLRs lose to a mirrorless :D . Your 5D and D800E won't go on strike just because they lost in popularity contest. If it really matter that much, give an award to whatever camera you have in your facebook. Happy new year.
The OMD is quite an amazing camera. I shot a very large editorial assignment exclusively with the OMD - http://giuliosciorio.com/portfolio/miami-people/
Just looked at your linked gallery Giulio and think that it is very good. Too bad that some of the OMD detractors here can't bother themselves to see how it actually performs in the hands of an experienced photographer like yourself. Thanks for sharing.
@Jolly - Yes every shot for that project was shot with the OMD exclusively. I'll be talking about each one in depth on Small Camera Big Picture. BTS video coming this week.
@Jolly & Tim - Thanks for checking out the work!
Men's comments about their OM-Ds sound like teenage boys describing their first girlfriends to their liberal mothers:
Yeh mum...I know I will not marry her and all that and I know there are better girls out there for me .....but ...she is so unique, so different, so good....I love her so much it gives me a belly ache just to think about it....Please mum ....can you try and understand ?
Funny.. my Mom taught me to think independently and the hell with what others think.. Oh.. and one other thing... always use a screen cover when using it in wet environments...
Oh szlevi, please call me anything but that....It feels so....creepy when you call me creepy.....
I followed the accumulating voting results on a daily basis.
Based on the way it developed, i strongly suggest DPR checking how a specific camera got the first place.
Sorry, this pool thing is kind of nonsense. I admit I voted on one camera, but now, after some thinking, I say I'd rather have not done it. How many voters actually tried the cameras they submitted their vote on? What do these results mean? Is the E-M5 even comparable to the Nikon or the 5D? This is just a fanboy-ish thing.
And no - I'm not a Nikon fanboy whining bitterly because the D800 didn't make it to 1st place. (That'd be so lame.) Just someone who's starting to get tired of this kind of nonsense. If anything, this pool shows the percentage of DPR viewers who bought, would like to buy, or lust for, these cameras.
Why participate? The poll does exactly what it was meant to do. Tally votes for various options.
Just sounds like you dont agree with the results...
Wrong. I actually voted for the Olympus. I did it because I find it more significant than the Nikon D800, which nevertheless is a camera I'd buy in a heartbeat if I had the money (I'd need at least three top-drawer lenses to realize its full potential).
The Panasonic GH3 will be the camera of 2013. It is the same internals as the OMD but it has much better video capabilities.
Too much form factor difference to be comparing.
Too much vocational difference to be comparing.
A few important innards difference to be comparing (sampling, codecs, IBIS, etc).
I'm sure the GH3 has your name on it. Others who couldn't care less about video and use legacy will surely prefer the OM-D. I tend to lie in the middle. I love my GH2, it's size and weight, it's video output, but when I'm photographing under challenging light or when I need to MF some of my Hexanons, I'd rather have an OM-D with me, even though I hate it's handling.
It is the same internals as the OMD
- No. It doesn't
but it has much better video capabilities
- true, heck even the GH2 has better video but then again some if not most people dont really care. I don't.
Why Canon deserves 3rd place? RX1, X-E1, A99 even Leica M have something to offer to Photography. What did Canon offer this year, that drives this industry a step forward, to even deserve a look at?
Kudos to Olympus. For Nikon it was expected.
Why not? I mean, have you even tried the mk III? "Something to offer" is as a great tool to take pictures. Which it is. Technical gimmicks and "firsts" apparently did not sway the voters, so perhaps what you really want is to repeat the poll until the Canon is pushed from the top? Childish.
Once again DPReview forum members take a fun little readers poll and turn into a soapbox for arguing. Congrats!
Why no votes for the Vtech Toy Story 3 2MP camera? Look at the great images the Strobist captured!
Nice to see Pentax destroy Canon amongst the APS-C cameras in this poll. Rightly so too!
I hope that doesn't sound like fanboyism, the K30 really is an amazing camera and no doubt overlooked by many people.

I always have grand plans of making a fancy advent calendar to help my girls look forward to Christmas, but then reality sets in and nothing gets done. This year, I just set my sights way, way lower and actually got something done!
To make this, I used:
- Red felt, cut 5" x 26"
- White felt, cut 3" x 24"
- Red ribbon 24" long
- Candy Canes
- Gift Tags
Basically, I sewed the ribbon down the center of the white felt, and then sewed the white felt to the red felt every inch, making little pockets for each candy cane.
If you want to make the days more meaningful as you go along, add gift tags to the candy canes with activities, scriptures, or other notes and tie them on with ribbon. There are SO many free printable gift tags out there, but I used some tag stickers on red cardstock for some of mine too.
I know I am looking forward to stirring my hot chocolate with one of these candy canes every night! Yummy!

Eudora Welty as Photographer
Photographs by Pulitzer-Prize winning novelist Eudora Welty display the empathy that would later infuse her fiction
- By T.A. Frail
- Smithsonian magazine, April 2009, Subscribe
Eudora Welty was one of the grandest grande dames of American letters—winner of a Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, an armful of O. Henry Awards and the Medal of Freedom, to name just a few. But before she published a single one of her many short stories, she had a one-woman show of her photographs.
The pictures, made in Mississippi in the early to mid-1930s, show the rural poor and convey the want and worry of the Great Depression. But more than that, they show the photographer's wide-ranging curiosity and unstinting empathy—which would mark her work as a writer, too. Appropriately, another exhibition of Welty's photographs, which opened last fall at the Museum of the City of New York and travels to Jackson, Mississippi, this month, inaugurated a yearlong celebration of the writer's birth, April 13, 1909.
"While I was very well positioned for taking these pictures, I was rather oddly equipped for doing it," she would later write. "I came from a stable, sheltered, relatively happy home that by the time of the Depression and the early death of my father (which happened to us in the same year) had become comfortably enough off by small-town Southern standards."
Her father died of leukemia in 1931, at age 52. And while the comfort of the Welty home did not entirely unravel—as an insurance executive in Jackson, Christian Welty had known about anticipating calamities—Eudora was already moving beyond the confines of her family environment.
She had graduated from the University of Wisconsin and studied business for a year at Columbia University. (Her parents, who entertained her stated ambition of becoming a writer, insisted that she pursue the proverbial something to fall back on.) She returned to Jackson after her father's diagnosis, and after he died, she remained there with her mother, writing short stories and casting about for work.
For the next five years, Welty took a series of part-time jobs, producing a newsletter at a local radio station; writing for the Jackson State Tribune; sending society notes to the Memphis Commercial Appeal; and taking pictures for the Jackson Junior Auxiliary. She had used a camera since adolescence—her father, an avid snapshot man, helped establish Jackson's first camera store—but now she began taking photography more seriously, especially as she traveled outside Jackson. In 1934, she applied to study at the New School for Social Research in New York City with photographer Berenice Abbott, who was documenting landmarks disappearing in the city's rush toward modernity. Welty's application was turned down.
It hardly mattered. Through the early '30s, Welty gathered a body of work remarkable for the photographer's choice of subjects and her ability to put them—or keep them—at ease. That is especially noteworthy given that many of her subjects were African-Americans. "While white people in a Deep South state like Mississippi were surrounded by blacks at the time...they were socially invisible," the television journalist and author Robert MacNeil, a longtime friend of Welty's, said in an interview during a recent symposium on her work at the Museum of the City of New York. "In a way, these two decades before the civil rights movement began, these photographs of black people give us insight into a personality who saw the humanity of these people before we began officially to recognize them."
Welty, for her part, would acknowledge that she moved "through the scene openly and yet invisibly because I was part of it, born into it, taken for granted," but laid claim only to a personal agenda. "I was taking photographs of human beings because they were real life and they were there in front of me and that was the reality," she said in a 1989 interview. "I was the recorder of it. I wasn't trying to exhort the public"—in contrast, she noted, to Walker Evans and other American documentary photographers of the '30s. (When a collection of her pictures was published as One Time, One Place in 1971, she wrote: "This book is offered, I should explain, not as a social document but as a family album—which is something both less and more, but unadorned.")
In early 1936, Welty took one of her occasional trips to New York City. This time she brought some photographs in the hope of selling them. In a decision biographer Suzanne Marrs describes as spontaneous, Welty dropped in at the Photographic Galleries run by Lugene Opticians Inc.—and was given a two-week show. (That show has been recreated for the centennial exhibit and supplemented with pictures she made in New York.)
That March, however, Welty received word that a small magazine called Manuscript would publish two short stories she had submitted. "I didn't care a hoot that they couldn't, they didn't pay me anything," she would recall. "If they had paid me a million dollars it wouldn't have made any difference. I wanted acceptance and publication."
That acceptance foretold the end of her photographic career. Welty used her camera for several years more but invested her creative energies in her writing. "I always tried to get her to start over again, you know, when I got to know her in the mid-1950s," the novelist Reynolds Price, another longtime friend of Welty's, said in an interview. "But she'd finished. She said, I've done what I have to do. I've said what I had to say."
In her memoir, One Writer's Beginnings, published in 1984, Welty paid respects to picture-taking by noting: "I learned in the doing how ready I had to be. Life doesn't hold still. A good snapshot stopped a moment from running away. Photography taught me that to be able to capture transience, by being ready to click the shutter at the crucial moment, was the greatest need I had. Making pictures of people in all sorts of situations, I learned that every feeling waits upon its gesture; and I had to be prepared to recognize this moment when I saw it."
She added: "These were things a story writer needed to know. And I felt the need to hold transient life in words—there's so much more of life that only words can convey— strongly enough to last me as long as I lived."
That was long indeed. Welty died on July 23, 2001, at the age of 92. Her literary legacy—not only her stories but her novels, essays and reviews—traces the full arc of a writer's imagination. But the pictures bring us back to the time and the place it all began.

Thanks for a most enjoyable article about one of my favorite writers. Actually, I am also trying to reach you directly as my friend former NY Times economics reporter Leslie Wayne recommended you.
I am a former Boston Globe arts reporter turned biographer, currently writing the biography of renowned American female violinmaker Carleen Hutchins. See: www.quincywhitney.com. The Hutchins Consort of San Diego, CA, will be making its Debut East Coast Tour in October, 2011. www.hutchinsconsort.org.
Do you know who plans concerts at the Smithsonian? At the Library of Congress? Or how I can find this information? I would be deeply grateful. Best regards, Quincy

Wonderfully well-written article that adds fuel to the fire for discussions about the artistic depth of writers who "paint" pictures with words. This provides me with great material for conversations with photojournalists who demur they cannot write – from artists, who not only write well, but tell stories so well with pictures. I especially appreciated the history-context for Ms. Welty by Mr. Frail – and the wonderful use of quotes by Ms. Welty to provide additional insight... Thank you.

What an interesting post; I loved the video of her photographs. If you are interested in Eudora Welty's life why not visit her web site? It shows her home that she lived all of her life and also the lovely gardens that she adored.

The video is great! Can anyone tell me the name of the photo of the black lady in the hat in the video at 2:29? Her eyes cut right through me and make me cry! I'm writing a poem about it, but need the name! Thank you!

I own number 43 of 90 of "Twelve Photographs", signed by Welty in 1980 and released by Palaemon Press Limited. The entire collection was contact-printed from the original negatives by Gil and Gib Ford of Jackson, MS.
Can anyone direct me to a reliable source to gain knowledge of the value of this collection?
I'd appreciate it. She is one of my greatest heroes.

I think Eudora Welty was a very impressive photographer as well as writer... basically what I'm saying is that her pictures are AWESOME!!!
Posted by Kristen N. on September 29,2009 | 10:10 AM
I think that she was the best photographer of her time. I enjoy her work very much. This time of her life,I think, prepared her for her writing career.
Posted by Ike N. on September 29,2009 | 10:09 AM
She was surely the best author if all time. She will be missed, but her legacy will live on.

TWO people from the Isle of Wight were involved in a crash near Southampton at the weekend.
The pair, a 55-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman, both from Ventnor, sustained minor injuries after the Triumph Rocket motorcycle they were travelling on collided with a central reservation on the M271.
The crash occurred on Sunday, at around 12.55pm.
Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service sent water tenders from Eastleigh, Winchester and St Mary's and a rescue engine from Redbridge to help with a clear up of the road.
*Police had appealed for witnesses, but have since spoken to the parties involved and said no further action will be taken.

Log4net in Azure
I have an existing application which uses log4net framework for Logging purpose.Now i want to use log4net in azure with minimal change in my existing code.
I have gone through various post regarding log4net in azure development forum but it didnt help me .
I have gone through following post :-
Now what i would like to do is save all the log from log4net to azure table storage(azure storage service) .
In all the post it was mentioned that to set up config file for log4net in SERVICECONFIGURATION.CSFG but when i try to set up configuration in service configuration for log4net ,the project doesn't compile.please help me on this to configure service configuration for log4net .
SO i am stuck up in setting up log4net confing file, and specify the config file in ServiceConfiguration.cscfg and setting up DiagnosticMonitor and log4net in OnStart method of WebRole.cs
Any tutorial for setting up log4net in windows azure will be very helpful.
Any help will be appreciated .
모든 응답
If you use an log4net appender that writes to the diagnosticsonly, you can configure you log4net straight from code no config nessecary:
This is my config which works for me:
in your webrole:
public override bool OnStart() { var config = DiagnosticMonitor.GetDefaultInitialConfiguration(); config.Directories.ScheduledTransferPeriod = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1); config.Logs.ScheduledTransferPeriod = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20); config.WindowsEventLog.ScheduledTransferPeriod = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20); config.WindowsEventLog.ScheduledTransferLogLevelFilter = LogLevel.Verbose ; DiagnosticMonitor.Start("Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString", config); return base.OnStart(); }
in you global.asax.cs
void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { CloudStorageAccount.SetConfigurationSettingPublisher((configName, configSettingPublisher) => { var connectionString = RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue(configName); configSettingPublisher(connectionString); } ); // Code that runs on application startup var appender = new AzureAppender(); appender.ActivateOptions(); BasicConfigurator.Configure(appender); }
Hi prasanna,
check the below link (need to convert the content of the link into english :))
after configurring your application you need to create a custome appender
like this
<appender name="TraceAppender" type="log4net.Appender.TraceAppender">
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout" >
<conversionPattern value="%-5p%d{yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss} [%thread] – %m%n" />
</appender>- 편집됨 Rahul-P 2011년 2월 14일 월요일 오전 11:48 edit
Add a trace appender to log4net which would write into the Trace and make sure you have azure diagnostics trace listner configured
As indicated below in you config file it should have
<appender name="TraceAppender1" type="log4net.Appender.TraceAppender">
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [%t],[%c],[%p], %m%n" />
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="TraceAppender1" />
<trace autoflush="true" indentsize="4" >
<add type="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics.DiagnosticMonitorTraceListener, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics, Version=188.8.131.52, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"

Hi Sachin,
Thanks for your reply,
We are in the process of moving our web application to Cloud, and totally depended on log4net for logging at the application level. We are trying with the prototype applications how to configure the log4net in our applicaiton after moving to windows azure , with minimal changes to our exisiting code.
Could you please post completed end to end application, some sort of code how to configure in the exisiting web applcation, it will be great help for us.
I will try it from my side and contact you for any issues.
I will have to develop a sample, but it should be simple.
1. Assuming you have a web applicaiton which is logging using log4net
2. Add a cloud project and add your web application as web role in the cloud project
3. In the web.config file add the configuraiton which i shared earlier your log4net and the azure diagnostics configuraiton
4. You should see logs in WADLogsTable in your storage
Hi Sachin,
Thanks for you quick response.
It would be greate if you could provide us with sample.
I still have some questions, usually if we use log4net we will configure to spool the files up to some gb to trace the logs say we can set the configuration in log4net to create a file after 10 gb of data.
My question are:
1.can we transfer the file to blob storage after creating that file (OR) Shall we need to configure the settings to write to a azure table with the message using log4net.
2.Is there any inbuilt UI interface is available in azure portal to study the logs after saving to the azure tables, with out writing custom code to analyze the logs.
Sorry the sample would take some time to answer your questions.
You can configure the Log4Net to write into the file only thing you have to remember is the folder path for logging file should be passed through LocalResource in the code.
Check few samples here
We can transfer these log files to blob not manually the Azure Diagnostics monitor would do that for us we just need to configure it in our diagnostics configuration in onstart method of the role. Check this please
There is no inbuilt UI but you can use some tools like
online : https://www.myazurestorage.com/
Client Tool : http://azurestorageexplorer.codeplex.com/
Hope this helps.

Today i was able to successfully host my application in to windows azure cloud. I have used the log4Net to store the logs in to Azure Table directly as suggested by the the following link.
My application was able to log in to the table for some time around 15 entries get logged in to the table, after some time the logging did not happened, I am in confusion where is the problem and how to check the problem. Any thoughts by some one here can help me, Please let me know.

The shape of a trumpet wedding dress is fitted through the bodice and hips with a flair at the knee. Today we're discussing Mermaid Wedding dresses. This dress I have is a mermaid/trumpet wedding dresses. The trumpet or mermaid wedding dresses fits nicely through the bodice, fitted through the hips and then flare at the knee. These dresses are pretty difficult to pull off. If you have a very curvier figure you can definitely accentuate your curves with dresses of this style. If you are a little bit fuller in your figure, this dress doesn't quite suit you the best. If you are a slimmer figure and have a little bit of hip you can also have the seamstress take it in a little bit so that you do have the illusion or style of a mermaid dress.

- With Mayo Clinic internist
Sandhya Pruthi, M.D.
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Sandhya Pruthi, M.D.
Sandhya Pruthi, M.D.
Dr. Sandhya Pruthi, certified by the American Board of Family Practice, has been practicing medicine at Mayo Clinic since 1995 with special interests in breast diseases and women's health.
Dr. Pruthi is a consultant in the Department of Medicine, the Division of General Internal Medicine and the Breast Diagnostic Clinic. She is an associate professor of medicine at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester, Minn.
The Winnipeg, Manitoba, native is enthusiastic about promoting education and patient-related research and has been active in both areas since joining Mayo Clinic. Dr. Pruthi is the primary investigator at Mayo Clinic of a clinical trial evaluating new agents for the prevention of breast cancer and has research interests in the identification of biomarkers for early detection of breast cancer.
Her other research and clinical interests include managing the health of women who are at increased risk of breast cancer, breast pain and hot flashes, and developing patient education decision-making tools for breast-related concerns.
She is past director of the Breast Diagnostic Clinic and has been a member of the Women's Health Executive Committee. Dr. Pruthi has been newly elected as a secretary of the executive committee for the American Society of Breast Disease. She has assisted with a variety of website content.
"Having an opportunity to share information and empower my patients in the way that will help them to understand and be able to make educated decisions about their own health is very important to me," Dr. Pruthi says.
"The Internet is a tremendous resource and information site for people, and I want them to get up-to-date and accurate information to be able to make informed choices for themselves, their family members and friends."
Mammogram: Can it find cancer in dense breasts?
I've read that a mammogram is useless when it comes to detecting cancer in women with dense breasts. Is this true?
from Sandhya Pruthi, M.D.
Breast density — The four levels |
Dense breasts can make mammograms more difficult to interpret. But this doesn't mean a mammogram is useless for detecting cancer or other breast abnormalities in women with dense breasts.
Breast tissue is composed of fatty (nondense) tissue and connective (dense) tissue. The relative ratio of fatty tissue to connective tissue differs among women. As women age, their breasts tend to become less dense.
Dense breast tissue appears as a solid white area on a mammogram, and fat appears as a dark area. Mammogram X-rays do not penetrate — or "see through" — dense tissues as well as they do through fat. So, in women with dense breasts, mammograms are more difficult to interpret. Tumors also are dense tissue and appear as solid white areas on the mammogram. This can make it more difficult to detect a tumor in dense breasts because it looks a lot like the dense tissue that surrounds it.
Some studies have found that newer digital mammography does a better job detecting cancer in dense breasts than does mammography that uses film. A digital mammogram produces images on a computer screen that can be enhanced and magnified for closer viewing.
Many, but not all, medical centers offer digital mammography. Ask your doctor for a referral to a center that offers this technology if you feel it's best for you.

No SIXAXIS or PlayStation Move support - the two motion-control periphreals for the PS3 will NOT be present in Starhawk.
Is it CONFERMED??? No SIXAXIS support?
No problem for "Move support" but I've always play Warhawk with sixaxis motion-sensing control
and I can't believe in Starhawk I won't !!!!!
I hope It's a mistake! because in Warhawk is wonderfull fly with motion sensing!!!
on 21-08-2011 12:59 PM
they've stated that there are no plans for six axis or move support 'at this time'
that may be subject to change, but i highly doubt it....
sucks, as i always fly six-axis pro flight in warhawk
but i'm prepared to give the new set up a good go, i won't complain about anything until i actually get my grubby paws on starhawk and put in some hours of gaming

who cares about "MOVE" support. SIXAXIS would make every player happier, not just the ones with move controllers... of coarse the few with non-sixaxis controllers just need a new controller.

The School on Rue Buffon
In Paris, you walk a lot. That does relate to food, because we found that you can eat almost anything you want and not gain weight if you walk. Paris, it turns out, is the most perfect kind of diet there is.
One of the streets we walked down a week or so ago was unpretentious Rue Buffon, which runs along the east side of the lovely Jardin des Plantes.
The sky was leaden that day and the light was that pale gray color that makes you think of a delicate watercolor painting of spring. It seemed to bounce off the gray and tan buildings of this humble little street.
Somehow I sensed a sadness on Rue Buffon. We began at the southern end and made our way north to the spot near Place Valhubert where you can catch the westbound No. 63 bus.
I took photos because the light intrigued me. So did the buildings, which seemed almost abandoned. When we came to a plaque on a school building, I stopped to read it.
And then I understood. The plaque honored the memories of Jewish school children who were sent to death camps. I need not say much here: You can certainly visualize the images that conjured up for me. I said a silent prayer for the children of Rue Buffon.
I will not forget them, those long-gone children. They have become for me an inextricable part of a layered and beautiful city where sunny days are like a carnival and where rainy days are melancholy.
Such richness Paris offers. I feel so lucky to have tasted those riches, both the happy and the sad.

Thank you for your thoughts and memories of not just the happy, delicious Paris, but the darker side as well. This is very moving.

I was moved, too, Mary. I was close to tears several times, feeling so fortunate to be there. Even in sadness, I feel fortunate.
I promised myself I would read all the plaques this time, well, I mean, whenever I ran across one. This one was the most moving. - 07 June, 2007 17:42
I've been stalking your blog since a friend's friend linked to your "Graine de Folie" (sp?) post, and I've enjoyed it very much.
I was moved today to comment on your loving post today about the innocents. This touches my heart, as my husband is Jewish, so I'm sensitive to what this fact would have meant for him and for my children and grandchildren in those dark days. May they never come again. - 07 June, 2007 17:54
- Jann said...
this is a dark side~I can understand your feelings of joy and sadness at the same time~this is a whole different chapter in French history.......
- 07 June, 2007 18:27
- Mimi said...
Thank you, Christine G. I could almost hear the voices of children as I stood in front of that school. And I could feel their fear, too.
Yes, Jann, and the whole WWII period in France is as layered and complex as the city of Paris. I am so lucky to have studied history and read enough to understand and accept both the dark and the light.
BTW, I went back and corrected the errors in my post. Did I really spell "weight" as "w-a-i-t?" I must still have jet lag... - 07 June, 2007 19:13
Thanks for sharing your photograph feelings from Rue Buffon Mimi.
On a lighter note... I like the idea of a "Walking Paris Diet" ;) - 08 June, 2007 02:23
You always hit just the right note in your posts Mimi. I am a lurker and don't comment very often but I truly enjoy your blog. I don't come for the food but for your insights and commentary.
Having lost more than half my family tree to the Nazi's during that terrible time, your post and the photo was very moving. Thank you for your sensitivity and for not letting us forget, even in the midst of your joy of being in Paris. - 08 June, 2007 02:36

I am always moved by the way the French "Remember". They are quite determined not to forget what happened during the War.
We happened on the village of Oradour sur Glane one day, which was totally destroyed, some 640 people, mostly women and children. The pictures of the children are on the tombs - and still haunt me.
Lovely post, Mimi - the photo is so descriptive... - 08 June, 2007 02:56
- Mimi said...
Fi, I think there is a new diet book there. I could make a mint and retire.
Abby, so good to hear from you. I made a promise to myself to read all the plaques this trip and remember. The children, the families, the Resistance fighters, the innocent bystanders, the troops. . .What touched me is that every once in a while, you see a flower holder just beneath a plaque and there are always fresh flowers there.
Thanks, Katie. The city of Paris is almost a living entity to me, a friend, even after a few visits. I would give anything to have spare her pain, but that is part of her rich past and - like the mistakes we make in life - have made Paris who she is today.
No city has ever touched me this much. - 08 June, 2007 05:38
- Farmgirl Cyn said...
As always, Mimi, your posts make me think. What I love most about your "food" blog, is that it is NOT just a food blog. You give so much more, and for that, I am grateful. I wish there were more just like you.
- 08 June, 2007 09:19
- Loulou said...
I came across a similar plaque in Montmartre and felt such sadness. Thank you for writing about this.
- 08 June, 2007 11:57
- Mimi said...
Cyn, maybe I should call this blog "Food for Thought."
LouLou, have you ever visited the park on Rue de la Roquette, about two blocks south of Pere Lachaise? The park was the site of a jail for Resistance fighters captured by Nazis. A beautiful park with such a sad past... - 08 June, 2007 13:44
Thank you for the post. There are many reminders of this time in Paris: Pere LaChaise, the monument near Notre Dame. As you note, it adds to the richness of the city.
As for the diet, I think your on to something. An acquaintance told me that last night, on her return from Paris, she was three pounds lighter. And it wasn't b/c she abstained, either.
I'm more than willing to be part of any study you get funding for. - 08 June, 2007 14:56
- Mimi said...
Chris, I love it!
We ate very well in Paris, and dropped pounds quickly. We had carbs, desserts every day, and lots of wine. Also, we did a lot of meals with sausage. Of course, we had salads and fruit and fresh vegetables.
It's a pretty painless way to diet. The only extra cost was a can of foot spray, something the pharmacist on my street had an ample suppy of. After I bought it, I found tons of stuff in the cupboard in the apartment bathroom. Now some apartments are actually including electronic food massage units. LOL. - 08 June, 2007 17:25
- Christine said...
I know just what you mean about Paris being the perfect diet city. And thank heavens! Eating foie gras and cheese, which is what we indulged in, is definitely not a way to lose weight.
I loved your photo, Mimi. And your post. I could almost feel the sadness myself as you approached the plaque. Thank you so much for sharing all of your Paris experiences. - 08 June, 2007 20:38

A moving a feeling post and photo. I imagine the atmosphere on Rue Buffon that day was meant for a sensitive soul as yours to interpret and tell the world we must never forget.
Thankyou . - 09 June, 2007 05:00
- Kristen said...
My breath stopped when I read this. I can just imagine the atmosphere.
- 10 June, 2007 12:10
- Mimi said...
Christine, I don't know why the street seemed sad before we approached the school. It was weird. A bit spooky.
CF, maybe I should start another blog..oh, if only I could do this all day.
Ladyjicky, thank you for the visit and the kind words.
Kristen, I felt that way, too. - 10 June, 2007 21:27
- Terri said...
Unfortunately, I've seen a few of these signs around Paris. I think it's difficult not to see one and feel a momentary pull back into a very dark time in the City of Light.
- 20 June, 2007 18:56
- Peter (the other) said...
Such a bizarre coincidence, although I suppose Google searchs allow for such.
I am writing this at 4am, just back home in Los Angeles, awoken from jet-lag having arrived back from Paris last night. I Googled "rue Buffon", as I purchased an apartment there (just behind you from where you take the photo) this winter, and just finished remodeling it, and was missing being there this early morning. The fact that it is a 4th floor walk up (5th in US terms) adds greatly to the Paris diet. I have lost twenty-five pounds in the six months of ownership. When the apartment was being worked on, I stayed at a friend's place in the 17th that was a 6th floor walk-up. Between those and the metro stairs. who needs a gym?
Thanks for your blog and wonderful photo. - 26 June, 2007 06:28
- Mimi said...
Terri, I saw them all over, too, and this time I promised myself I would read them and stop and say a prayer for those whose memory they recall. These sad reminders are what gives Paris its layers and richness.
Ouch! Peter, that is a lot of climbing! But an easy way to lose weight. Lucky you - I liked that street, even in its sadness. - 26 June, 2007 20:52

This will be the home base for Fox Broadcast still have -- guests and we'll have everything covered in this studio.
OK next up we go up to the control room with a little stopping along the way -- -- throughout the building there are fox radio positions this is just one of them this is near our studios -- There will be a fox radio broadcast obviously throughout the night you've got rich Johnson and Heather Nauert and Jeff Birnbaum.
They'll be broadcasting.
With all the information on fox radio going to go to the control room.

I understand how brigade commanders issue orders. BUT I'm not clear how and in what circumstances the cinc gives orders. For example if a brigade commander rolls greater than his staff rating, can the cinc step in and get the brigade moving if he rolls and scores equal or less than his staff rating ? I feel I'm missing something obvious and I'd be grateful if someone would clarify how the cinc gives orders.
Thanks in advance.

Gear Review: Simms Rogue Fleece Hoody
Author: Trout's Staff
The new Simms Rogue Fleece Hoody is and ideal mid weight jacket for Colorado's unpredictable spring weather. When the wind howls and precipitation is always a possibility.
The new Simms Rogue Fleece Hoody is and ideal mid weight jacket for Colorado's unpredictable spring weather. When the wind howls and precipitation is always a possibility.
Out of the box I will say that the Vanquish is one of the hottest reels I have ever seen. I have never been one for the tricked out machined reel, but there is just something about the Vanquish that still catches my eye.
Well this spring is turning out to be just as unpredictable weather wise as we've seen in past years. With rain and snow in the forecast for most of the state for the next two days, things are definitely going to get interesting here through the rest of May. The Denver Front Range is in dire need of any precipitation, so this rain in my opinion is a much welcome surprise. In the mountains, weather forecasts indicate that we will see rain/snow at lower elevations, with snow most likely above 10,000 ft. So what does this mean for our runoff? Well, we'll have a lot more snow to get rid of before rivers subside to fishable levels.
The blessing in disguise is that these cold daytime and nightime temperatures will dramatically slow the snowmelt, and we should see river levels level off or drop through most of the states river basins. As of this morning, most of the rivers throughout Colorado (exluding tailwaters) have begun to level off, and I would imagine that their flows will start to drop throughout today.
Simms is synonymous with high quality waders and boots, and Gore-Tex is a brand that is recognized as being the benchmark that all other waterproof materials are measured against. So as Simms has done on numerous occasions, they've melded the Gore-Tex fabric, its name and recognition into a new and fantastic product offering. Footwear.
Nail knot tools are essential for on-water emergencies and last minute rigging, as is your favorite beer. Mayfly has combined these two essentials into one ergonomically friendly package.

Raymond Dessy is a professor of Chemistry at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Va. Here is his answer.
Group IV of the Periodic Table of the Elements contains carbon (C), silicon (Si) and several heavy metals. Carbon, of course, is the building block of life as we know it. So is it possible that a planet exists in some other solar system where silicon substitutes for carbon? Several science fiction stories feature silicon-based life-forms--sentient crystals, gruesome golden grains of sand and even a creature whose spoor or scat was bricks of silica left behind. The novellas are good reading, but there are a few problems with the chemistry.
Image: HONG YANG, University of
Toronto |
Indeed, carbon and silicon share many characteristics. Each has a so-called valence of four--meaning that individual atoms make four bonds with other elements in forming chemical compounds. Each element bonds to oxygen. Each forms long chains, called polymers, in which it alternates with oxygen. In the simplest case, carbon yields a polymer called poly-acetal, a plastic used in synthetic fibers and equipment. Silicon yields polymeric silicones, which we use to waterproof cloth or lubricate metal and plastic parts.
But when carbon oxidizes--or unites with oxygen say, during burning--it becomes the gas carbon dioxide; silicon oxidizes to the solid silicon dioxide, called silica. The fact that silicon oxidizes to a solid is one basic reason as to why it cannot support life. Silica, or sand is a solid because silicon likes oxygen all too well, and the silicon dioxide forms a lattice in which one silicon atom is surrounded by four oxygen atoms. Silicate compounds that have SiO4-4 units also exist in such minerals as feldspars, micas, zeolites or talcs. And these solid systems pose disposal problems for a living system.
Also consider that a life-form needs some way to collect, store and utilize energy. The energy must come from the environment. Once absorbed or ingested, the energy must be released exactly where and when it is needed. Otherwise, all of the energy might liberate its heat at once, incinerating the life-form. In a carbon-based world, the basic storage element is a carbohydrate having the formula Cx(HOH)y. This carbohydrate oxidizes to water and carbon dioxide, which are then exchanged with the air; the carbons are connected by single bonds into a chain, a process called catenation. A carbon-based life-form "burns" this fuel in controlled steps using speed regulators called enzymes.
These large, complicated molecules do their job with great precision only because they have a property called "handedness." When any one enzyme "mates" with compounds it is helping to react, the two molecular shapes fit together like a lock and key, or a shake of hands. In fact, many carbon-based molecules take advantage of right and left-hand forms. For instance, nature chose the same stable six-carbon carbohydrate to store energy both in our livers (in the form of the polymer called glycogen) and in trees (in the form of the polymer cellulose).
Glycogen and cellulose differ mainly in the handedness of a single carbon atom, which forms when the carbohydrate polymerizes, or forms a chain. Cellulose has the most stable form of the two possibilities; glycogen is the next most stable. Because humans don't have enzymes to break cellulose down into its basic carbohydrate, we cannot utilize it as food. But many lower life-forms, such as bacteria, can.

Music and Playing Live
Above is a photo of the latest addition of MIDI controllers I use to write music. This one in particular is designed specifically for a program called Ableton Live, which I really haven't used before; I've never made anything with it, but I have played with it just a little. You ever wonder what people like Skrillex or Phutureprimitive are doing on stage at a concert? On the surface what a controller like this basically boils down to is a sound board. Sound boards are basically buttons with clips of audio loaded into them that play when you press their button, however the rabbit hole goes a lot deeper then that.
The purpose of a controller (and Ableton for that matter, as it's the brains behind this operation) is to facilitate a DJ the ability to play multi-tracked music live and allow them to change how all the parts fit together on-the-fly. So, he's not the kind of DJ that just has two vinyl record playing with a cross-fader between (aka, "the guy on stage with nothing but a couple of iPods") but a DJ who has two separate A/B groups of dozens of record players dedicated to individual parts that play when triggered, with their own effects inserted that are also controllable. Well… I've decided to join the party. Ableton is actually a pretty cool piece of software that I've never given a fair shake, primarily because it's strength requires a proper controller to exploit and I've not had one till now. So far I've primarily been using Propellerhead Reason (and I still love the hell out of it).
So sometime soon I'm planning on putting on my own live shows! Songs old, new and yet to be written will be diced up and rejuvenated with surprise and magic! But in the mean time, there's always my soundcloud feed. Hope to see you soon!

This may be old news for some, but I am very surprised at the amount of people I come across in my profession who actually have never tried bison. Call it what you may, bison also known as buffalo is growing vastly popular among fitness enthusiasts and chefs nationwide.
Many dieters trying to lose weight and whittle at their waistline tend to think their days of "red meat" are in the past, but for the exception of vinison, bison is about as lean and healthy you can get when looking for a nutrient and amino dense protein!
American bison (buffalo) commonly associated with the midwestern states and Great Plains used to roam the fields by the hundreds of thousands. By the late 1800s, their numbers had been decimated through commercial hunting and slaughter, and bison were nearly extinct! Lucky for us though, that population is more than 500,000 today and growing!
Bison has definitely made the popularity list thanks to the superbly tasty and lean alternative to beef. However, unlike cattle that has been selectively bred for marbling, bison remain much closer to their original wild lineage and as a result their meat is much leaner. Bison generally has fewer calories, a lower fat content yet more protein than beef, making it a good choice for the health conscious meat eater.
I began eating bison a few years ago when I wanted to enjoy a burger while dining out with friends, and I can honestly say it has changed my life! During my off season and even while on my competition preparation diet, I enjoy having a lean bison steak or if I'm in the mood for a burger on a cheat day. Previously a strictly fish and chicken eater, I can now acclimate my nutritional needs with this tasty red meat and reap the benefits during my tough workouts!
So, if you haven't tried a bison burger or steak yet, stop what you are doing and run out to your nearest Whole Foods Market (they have the best fresh selection) or your local meat market and pick some up! The ground bison is a common choice for newcomers, but don't feel shy to splurge on a New York strip or some short ribs for a nicely roasted potted meal! Bon Apetite!
