Artist's Comments

This piece was taken for a Statistics Art competition at my university. Some how I was lucky enough to be awarded first place. This piece will need some explaining, so bare with me. The contest required us to take a photo which captured statistics in everyday life. I decided to take my Kodak digital camera and get a shot of the skyline (well, part of at least) of my city. The reasoning behind the picture is thus... The buildings represent the bars of a histogram and the lights in them represent the "data points". This histogram is reflected in the water below creating another histogram. Now, in statistics a histogram is described as a "normal distribution" or a "skewed distribution". Basically, skewed means that the tallest bars in the histogram are closer to the left or the right. Therefore, you have the title...Skewed Reflections. enjoy. :D

Nice job on the photo! No wonder you won first place. I would have never thought of something like that. Statistics = Skyline? Smart ass ^^

Anyways. I really like it. Good job
