Another Drive By



Facing the Road, originally uploaded by jjvornov.

I was on my way out of town for a business trip and decided to visit the fields that provided so many interesting images in the summer.

It turns out that in late fall / early winter, the landscape is not all that compelling. But just beyond the fields, I saw this setting and lighting. I saw that no one was behind me, so I put on my hazard lights, stopped in the middle of the road, lined up the composition and took a single image before moving on.

The focal length is near normal and with the car window to brace against, I ended up with a pretty sharp image at 1/15th sec.

I'm an MD, PhD Neurologist who left a successful academic career on the Faculty of The Johns Hopkins Medical School to develop new treatments in Biotech and Pharma. I became fascinated with how people actually make decisions based on the science of decision theory and emerging understanding of how the brain works to make decisions. My passion now is this deep explanation of what has been the realm of philosophy, psychology and self help but is now understood as brain function. By understanding our brains, I believe we can become happier, more successful people.
