I found one simple definition of fractals: "A mathematically generated pattern that is reproducible at any magnification or reduction" Could this mean in a photo, the subject should show repetition of form, from the small to the large view? Clouds do that. Tiny clouds with swirls and whorls and large clouds with very similar swirls and whorls except for size. Perhaps a "repeated form or structure in the minute and the large scale" is a decent(?) definition for "fractal" which might work in finding an image for the camera. I am a simple person here..the math does not scare me at all but we need something more applicable to all than math to find and photograph natural fractals. This is my 1/15 cent. : ) Tom.
