Minutes into January 1, 2009 my wife’s family and I spontaneously jumped together for a group photo.  Several of us threw our hands in the air independently.

Amazingly, our arms made exact 45-degree angles.

Original photo

As soon as I saw the photo I immediately announced it was going to be the best picture of 2009. I still stand by that statement. I also knew that some image manipulation with gimp would transform this photograph into fine art.

Spontaneous Radial Symmetry

I hope it doesn’t scare you.
