His synesthesic description of numbers as colored shapes reminded me of Richard Dawkins describing bat audio colors in this video http://www.videosift.com/video/Richard-Dawkins-TED-The-Strangeness-of-Science-22-min

Pretty interesting... this guy perceives numbers as shapes and colors. Now, I cant see through your eyes, but I have a pretty good feeling for what its like for you to perceive the color red. Those things that make red chosen for stop signs, stop lights, warnings, sports cars etc. He said there were like 25 other savants, I wonder how many perceive numbers like this, and if they all would say that David Letterman reminded them of the number 117.

In NK, she's probably cheaper than an actual stop light.

....Analog-digital like both-I've worked as a freelance photographer for a large Metro-newspaper, worked mostly in B&W, and color slide film...I dropped it prior to the digital camera in every phone thingy...Infared film was a great diversion for a while, still got allllll my old negeatives....
Nothin' beats a B&W darkroom, scavenged supplies, with drying prints, hanging all over the house....

Sage Advice for Virgin Shutterbugs:
Save yer dough, and buy a real camera-lotsa' good one's, drop a line if you want a consumer report....nowadays, digital affords you the luxury, of near-unlimited media, so you can practice shutter and f-stop, lighting and composition, with instant feedback from your device.....no more developing costs....compared to the emulsion-only days of not too long ago, more affordable now than ever!
