Images of Quantum Physicists' Blackboards

Megan Garber at The Atlantic has an article about the photography by Alejandro Guijarro of the chalkboards at great quantum physics labs around the world. He photographed them as he found them using a large format camera. The creators of the underlying work are not identified, and, of course, the photographs are here for the art, not they physics. They could almost as easily be calligraphic paintings of Jose Parla or a Japanese artist. Nonetheless, they work quite well as art. Of course, rather than photographs, I think actually displaying the chalkboards might be more beautiful (but I guess seeing it in person would tell the tale there).
