Blueberry Title

Albert Einstein reminds us, "Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Einstein suggests that while knowledge is limited to what we currently understand, imagination allows us to explore new possibilities and ideas. We need to think beyond current boundaries and envision new ideas and solutions that foster exploration and experimentation. The photography appearing here is the result of images captured from a fixed web camera using its screen capture tool and then photo-edited. How has the editing altered the reality of the web camera sourced images appearing in the left column to those appearing to the right? Has this stimulated your imagination? What might you have done differently?

These images are intended to capture the essence of the Dalhousie University Wild Blueberry Research Centre and what this endeavor visually presents to us. Has this made you more aware of the close link between us and the blueberry ecosystem? If you could capture the story of a blueberry field, what unique ways would you choose to tell it?
