      ab: The article focuses on Jon McCormack, a fine art photographer and senior Apple engineer, whose work explores intricate natural patterns often overlooked in everyday landscapes. McCormack’s photography, developed during the Covid-19 pandemic, emphasizes transient, detailed "tiny landscapes" such as cracked mud, algae, and microscopic diatoms, reflecting his combined interests in science, mathematics, and art. His images document fragile natural phenomena, including retreating ice caves affected by climate change, serving as a celebration and preservation of fleeting moments. While his role at Apple involves advancing smartphone camera technology used globally, McCormack cautions against over-documentation, advocating for slowing down to truly experience and appreciate the natural world.
