Help Stephany go to the Columbus Arts Festival!

Hi everyone!  My name is Stephany, and I’m a 21-year-old Chinese-American amateur photographer & graduate student.  I’ve been accepted into the Columbus Arts Festival’s Emerging Artists Program; this June, I will be exhibiting and selling my photography for the first time on the beautiful downtown Riverfront in Columbus, Ohio.  This is a huge opportunity for me, and I’m extremely excited for this new experience!

A little bit about me: I’ve been interested in photography for a while, starting with little point-and-shoots that I played with as a preteen.  Eventually, a couple years ago, my dad handed down his Nikon D40x DSLR to me, sparking a more serious interest in photography.  I tend to focus on landscapes and do my best to capture the natural beauty of the scene I see before me.  99% of my photos come straight out of my camera with absolutely no editing!  You can view my photos on my Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sqlu/sets/72157630709514068/

As an individual and an amateur, I have to start from scratch for this exhibit.  Your contributions will help me acquire supplies and stock for the festival; with my limited graduate student budget, I can only go so far by myself.  But your contributions will help enormously!  And even if you can’t contribute monetarily, I greatly appreciate signal boosts! :)

Thank you!

A drop of red dye falls into a thin layer of milk, forming a crown splash. Notice the pale edges of the droplets at the rim of the crown; this is milk that has been entrained by the original drop. The rim and satellite droplets surrounding the splash are formed due to surface tension effects, chiefly the Plateau-Rayleigh instability—the same effect responsible for breaking a falling column of liquid into droplets like in a leaking faucet. The instability will have a most unstable wavelength that determines the number of satellite droplets formed. (Photo credit: W. van Hoeve et al., University of Twente)

Geography: Lake Hillier

Also known as the pink lake in Australia, Lake Hillier has no decided reason as to why the lake has such a pink hue. It is believed that it is down to the salt content of the lake or possibly red halophilic bacteria in the salt crusts. [Wiki]
