365, week 31
211 of 365: Those wisps of over-the-ear hair are killing me with their cuteness!

212 of 365: I know...I take a lot of babywearing photos! But that's my life now (and I totally love it), but I occasionally miss using phrases like "affective dysregulation" and talking about the "eigenvalues of a matrix" as a part of my daily conversation.

213 of 365: I made this portrait for the profile page of Susan, an event coordinator extraordinaire. You can become a fan her via her Facebook page or you can visit her site directly.

214 of 365: Jelly beans and my itty bitty little finger.

215 of 365: These were so delicate, a soft and faded treatment seemed fitting. I'm not loving my floral shots these days.

216 of 365: The rainbow fringe around the lavender leaves and the sunburst and flare were created by shooting at f/22 directly into the setting sun.

217 of 365: I wanted to continue the botanical theme by capturing the newly planted flowerbed...mostly because by morning, it will have become an open salad bar for the wild rabbits. But I had a little visitor who popped into the frame.

These are gorgeous
These are gorgeous photographs, and those wisps of hair are killing me, too, with cuteness!
I can imagine you missing that vocab in your daily conversations. I haven't learned (or won't, considering my program) what "eigenvalues of a matrix" are--quick def or should I just look it up?
I.
In psych research,
In psych research, eigenvectors are often used in factor analyses, which are themselves often used to validate the content of tests (i.e., do items under the same rubric covary with each other to form a latent variable). It can be a way of reducing a very large database into smaller units, if you will.
Hmm...I think my explanation sucks.
