Venn diagrams are something I learnt about at school in maths class. The most common one I can think of is the overlap of the 3 primary colours to form secondary colours. To me all Venn diagrams represent is overlap. A point at which at 2 mutually exclusive groups cross and somewhere in the middle a new subset is created.
Now I went to a school where each age group was less than 40 people. Small classes get much smaller after seeing the same people for 11 years. No one at school cared for photography. At university I met a lot more people (some of them I do not remember their names. It's hard to concentrate when your blood alcohol level is that high - its ok. The legal U.K. drinking age is 18).
Only one of my friends was avidly into photography. The first time we saw the Canon IXUS we fell in love with it. He was lucky enough to buy it. I just got to use it lots.
Now before I was talking about overlap and although at that time most people had some form of camera, not many people took it off AUTO. The overlap was quite small for those interested in photography.
Then I got to Grad School. In my hallway of ~ 30 grad students at least 4 I know of have a SLR of some sort and are INTERESTED in photography. I can only conclude that there is a significant overlap between chemistry grad students and photography. I will, in time, endevour to form some sort of Venn diagram that will graphically show this trend.
Now, most of the people I believe are either quite shy or I just dont know well enough to have seen their photos.
The one person I do know is Jeremy. He takes beautiful photos. Whenever I want to look for inspiration I look to his homepage. Every time I go there I find something amazing. I invite you to go look and be inspired.
Basically this blog entry can be summerised as " Go look at Jeremy's Photos"

how can 2 groups be mutually exclusive if they overlap?
pedantry aside i like your blog very much and will be subscribing thank you. your photos are all amazing.
I was trying to talk about bringing 2 mutually exclusive groups together to form an overlap
