Avi sez, "Brendan Fitzpatrick has made a beautiful series of x-ray photographs of flowers." And he's selling prints!

Floral X-rays (Thanks, Avi!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Lovely! It reminds me of the glass flowers at Harvard.

    My employer did this a couple years ago to market the Selenia Dimensions 2D Digital Mammography System.  This isn’t the link I had in mind, but it does show flowers under the Selenia system:

    I used to have a Hologic calendar in my office with pictures of x-rayed flowers.

    I saw similar work, equally haunting in monochrome, at the River Gallery in Chattanooga TN.  The artist is Don Dudenbostel, who was a student of Ansel Adams. Lovely things
