The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines recursive, in a linguistic sense, as "of, relating to, or constituting a procedure that can repeat itself indefinitely ." Computer science often uses the term recursive function, which means "a function that calls itself during its execution. This enables the function to repeat itself several times, outputting the result and the end of each iteration," as U "R" Us, computer scientist par excellence, will verify. So what the heck does that have to do with this post? I'm standing in a gallery at the St. Louis Art Museum taking a picture of the paintings and another guy who is standing in a gallery at the St. Louis Art Museum taking a picture of the paintings. If we were in luck, there would be another person standing behind that panel in the center taking... You get the idea. Wow, I must have had a long day at work. (Well, I did.) Actually, here's a better example of a recursive function. Nice light in this gallery, anyway.
WHAT I THINK I NEED TO DO TONIGHT: read a book instead of staring at this computer screen. One that's not about photography.
TOMORROW: Thursday Arch Series (lurid HDR division) and a new companion post on Gateway.
