The man behind McLaren, Ferrari, Maserati, and Mini Cooper

In 2022, we enjoyed a memorable evening at an Atmo Supercomputer celebration in Berkeley, California. The company had completed their inaugural product, destined for Uganda. Their innovative technology uses an AI model to forecast weather, a pioneering approach in the industry. This advancement significantly reduces costs while maintaining the reliability and precision of weather predictions.

 

The company hired Frank Stephenson to design the exterior of the supercomputer. He also designed most McLaren sport cars, some Ferraris, Maserati, Mini Cooper, BMW X5, and the Fiat 500. Frank flew in from London to attended the party. He was intrigued by my vintage Canon "Dream Lens", so I offered to take a portrait of him. We walked outside so that we get the nice blur of leaves in the back.

 

I processed a photographic and a balanced HDR photos from a JPG exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
