Scientific Curiosity Captured in Photos
by Michael Zhan
Caleb Charland is a Maine-based photographer who combines a love of scientific experiments and photographs into wonderful and amazing photographs. If Isaac Newton or Benjamin Franklin were into photography, their photographs might look something like these:

“Wooden Box with Horseshoe Magnet”

“Atomic Model”

“Demonstration with Hair Dryer and Aluminum Foil”

“Candle in a Vortex of Water”

“Fifteen Hours”
Regarding his work, Charland tells us,
Wonder is a state of mind somewhere between knowledge and uncertainty. It is the basis of my practice and results in images that are simultaneously familiar and strange. I utilize everyday objects and fundamental forces to illustrate experiences of wonder. Each photograph begins with a simple question “How would this look? Is that possible? What would happen if…?” and develops through a sculptural process of experimentation. As I explore the garage and search through the basement to solve these pictures, I find ways to exploit the mysterious qualities of these everyday objects and familiar materials.

So here’s what’s going on.
So far catholic church clergies have blamed homosexuals, secularism, modern society, porn, TV, the abused kids themselves, as to why these pedo-priests have molested thousands of children around the world. Isn’t it time for them to stop making excuses and own up their responsibility on these atrocities?
Oh! Of course, it’s everyone’s fault but theirs, and celibacy has nothing to do with it!
And, of course, the pope’s covering up didn’t contribute to perpetuate the business.
… and people ask me why I abhor religion. Sigh.
