What is fire?


Oxidation-Energy, originally uploaded by BornJavanese.

All peoples in the world come into a crisis: fossil oil, which has been so expensive that many demos spread all over countries. The crisis of energy drives efforts to save the resources as well as to develop innovations for sustainable ones.

This concern about energy wakes me up to explore things that have something to do with energy making. I am not an expert in this field. However, it is very interesting. I started with simple natural phenomena, which shows a simple process of producing energy. My mind turned to fire, which was supposed by ancient cultures to be one of basic elements in this universe. Once I had a question, "What is fire?" Then I try to answer it by my own: fire is a fact of fastened oxidation process! Hahaha... really, I don't know whether it's true or false, but I am sure, that fire is not a-stand-alone element. There are always at least two elements to make fire. One of them is oxygen. Again, maybe I do something haphazardly! Help me to know the valid answer, please...

Anyway, I get some matches and get the room dark to do my simple "energy-project". The result is shown in the picture. I still used Canon PowerShot A400 in macro mode and inactivated flashlight. I just got it sharpened with amount 100, radius 1 and threshold 1. Done! [skd]

The royal seal of Kraton Jogja

Lambang Kraton Jogja


Still from the land of Jogja, now I present to you the royal seal of Sultan Hamengku Buwana. In Javanese language the seal is called "Praja Cihna". Kings of Kasultanan Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat (Jogja or Yogyakarta) used the symbol to validate their official letters. Since the kingdom has become a cultural power of the people, sometimes common people who has no relationship with the palace also use the symbol to express their pride of being Jogja people. They put stickers or badges of it on their motorbikes, cars, tables or on the guest's room wall. You're right, I post this picture so that you can put it on your desktop as well! [skd]

Photography and graphic designing are funny hobbies. That’s what I feel when I’m doing with the pictures on this blog. Making wallpapers is just my first entry to those interests. The rest is a process of learning, appreciation, exploration and creativity. The results are more than just materials. They could be translations of self-actualization upon the beauties before me.
