alt Hacker NewsThis reminds me of a couple things:
== Tim's Vermeer ==
Specifically Tim's quote "There's also this modern idea that art and technology must never meet - you know, you go to school for technology or you go to school for art, but never for both... And in the Golden Age, they were one and the same person."

== John Lind's The Science of Photography ==
Best explanation I ever read on the science of photography https://johnlind.tripod.com/science/scienceframe.html
== Bob Atkins ==
Bob used to have some incredible articles on the science of photography that were linked from photo.net back when Philip Greenspun owned and operated it. A detailed explanation of digital sensor fundamentals (e.g. why bigger wells are inherently better) particularly sticks in my mind. They're still online (bookmarked now!)

I've always considered that Tim Jennison quote to be a reference to C.P. Snow's "The Two Cultures" lecture. Steve Jobs' ambition for Apple to be "where the Liberal Arts and Technology meet" also seemed similarly influenced. If you haven't read Snow's lecture, it's well worth the quick read.
