Jennifer Steen Booher’s photography shows off her scientific personality and love of objects. She writes, “I’m part magpie, part squirrel, part scientist, and part historian.

Xerox is working on an algorithm that can judge the aesthetics of photos.

While I do agree that some photographers out there should not be allowed to hold a camera, who am I to judge their photos? After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder - right?

Tell me what you think. Are there universal standards for aesthetics in the world of photography on which photos can be judged?

You can try the demo out for yourself here.
