created by Midlothian born artist Helen Denerley, was unveiled by the Omni Centre 27th July 2005. The two giraffes, nicknamed Martha and Gilbert, were made from scrap metal including parts from cars and motorbikes. The inscription surrounding the sculpture is from a poem by Roy Campbell, written in 1946, and reads “'Giraffes! a People Who live between earth and skies Each in his own religious steeple Keeping a lighthouse with his eyes.”

This morning, I was thrilled to see our Agapanthus "Lily of the Nile" bursting ready to reveal its blue blooms. The light was wonderfully delicate, so I grabbed my camera adjusted for white balance and spot metering and voilà.

I know it's hardly original but I had to get a shot of this place as it really is one of the wonders in Britain, if not the world.

I think I should explain, this is a photo of a wall - nothing else - The image of the man on the right is mine and then superimposed on the wall and the elephant is also a photo I got in the zoo and he was in this pose. I just put it together. See the photo of the man HERE

Sony A7RII Photos: Sony 16-35mm Vario-Tessar T FE F4 ZA OSS E-Mount Lens: Fine Art Galleries and Creating High-End Fine Art Prints on Fuji Crystal Supergloss Metallic Facemounted to Acrylic! Dr. Elliot McGucken Fine Art

 

I had fun visiting Prolab Digital by the LAX ariport to witness the creation of a fine art print for the band the Who's Charity Auction! :) I was always curious how the face-mounted! prints were made! :)

 

Not so long ago, I was honored with an invitation to donate one of my fine art prints to The Who's charity auction benefitting Teen Cancer.

 

Well, I hope my art is able to help a bit! It's quite an honor.

 

Given the cause, I decided to go big and print a 40"x60" museum-quality, fine art rendition of a fortuitous Malibu sunset recently photographed with the new 42 mp Sony A7RII! Please find the photograph of the sunset here:

As a physicist who worked on CMOS photosensors and an artificial retina for the blind, I have always been fascinated by the amazing evolution of digital cameras and sensors, and that interest recently carried over into the art and science of printing fine art photography. What makes an optimal fine art print? I visited Prolab Digital to ask some questions while documenting the creation of the museum-quality archival print. This also tied into a book I am working on, which is a beauty-driven approach to photography. Every element of photography, from camera and lens selection, to settings and composition, to computers and software, to printing, can be seen as an answer to the simple question, "How do I best capture and share beauty?"

 

Fine art photography can be broken down into three basic stages, all dictated by beauty--capturing beauty's light, bending and shaping beauty's light, and liberating the beauty's light in a fine art print. The first stage centers about the optimal capture of beauty's light out in the field via the blending of optimal compositions, sensors, settings, and glass. The second part consists of bending and shaping the beauty's light in post--in software such as Lightroom or Photoshop. And the third part consists of liberating the light in the finest manner possible via a combination of printing and mounting on the materials most capable of projecting the original beauty's light--the light that began in the landscape, passed on though the camera's sensor and then through a computer and software, and now travels forth from the wall of a gallery or museum.

 

For the finest rendition, we choose to print on Fuji Crystal Archival paper--either the metallic or super-gloss which makes the light pop. Both papers have tiny metallic crystals of silver halide which reflect the light in a manner that makes a print look backlit, thusly bringing it to life with a magical glow. The light literally emanates from the scenic landscape, just as it did when first captured in the field. Fuji describes their line of "crystal" papers:

 

"Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper is a silver halide color paper, designed exclusively to produce high-image-quality color prints on both analogue and digital printers. This paper incorporates latest silver halide emulsion technology, coupler technology and layer design technology to deliver enhanced color reproduction, white purity, image stability and handling of the photo."

 

The print is then face-mounted to a sheet of 1/8" or 1/4" acrylic UV resistant acrylic via an adhesive. Not only does this thin layer of plexiglass serve to capture and liberate a gallery's high-end lighting fixtures in a way that brings the landscape to life, but it also serves to protect the print. While scratches on acrylic can be buffed out, once an aluminum print is scratched or damaged, it is very hard (if not impossible) to repair. The resistance to UV rays keeps the print from fading.

 

To further enhance the experience, we use acrylic with an anti-reflective coating, known to the industry as "P99 non-glare plexiglass." This equivalent to the "museum glass" used in more traditional framed and matted prints, is well-worth the premium, as it cuts down on the glare from ambient light and reflections from the environment. Without the reflective coating, the viewer of the art will see their own reflection, or reflections of the lights and windows in the room. When we go to a gallery or museum and cast our gaze upon a seascape, we want to see the art, and not a reflection of ourselves! :)

 

The physics of anti-reflective coatings consists of applying thin layers of film to the glass's surface with a thickness chosen in proportion to the wavelengths of visible light, so that when the light reflects, the wavelengths of the incoming and outgoing wave match up in opposition, and thus cancel one-another, thereby "disappearing" the reflection. This is not easy to do, but we photographers always pay premium for lenses and filters coated with the anti-reflective coatings, so as to optimize the capture of beauty's light. And thus it makes sense to mount a print to glass with anti-reflective coatings, so as to liberate the beauty's light in an optimal manner.

 

For longevity and durability, the print is mounted to aluminum with a metal cleat attached to the back for hanging. Sandwiched between a solid sheet of aluminum on the back and UV-resistant acrylic on the front, the print is frozen in time, and will never wrinkle nor crease.

 

Well, I'm working on a book on all this--the full odyssey of creating museum-quality/gallery-quality prints! :)

Một công ty của Campuchia vừa đưa ra thị trường loại xe ô tô Angkor EV 2013 chạy bằng điện với giá 5.000 USD làm nhiều người “sốc”. Trước đó, Ấn Độ còn đưa ra một loại xe còn “khủng” hơn với giá chỉ có 2.000 USD.

 

VN mình có thể làm được cái xe rẻ như vậy không? Tất nhiên là làm được. Người VN mình vẫn ngầm thỏa thuận với nhau rằng chúng ta thông minh nhất thế giới còn gì.

 

Vậy tại sao không có xe hơi siêu rẻ made in Vietnam nhỉ?

 

Vì mọi chuyện nó như thế này:

 

Một bác tên Nguyễn Văn Kinh ở TP. HCM đam mê cơ khí, công nghệ, bia, thịt chó và nhiều thứ khác bỗng một ngày đặt ra một câu hỏi rất hâm triết: “Tại sao chỉ có những người nhiều tiền mới được đi xe hơi?” và một câu hỏi còn hâm hơn nữa: “Có thể làm ra một chiếc xe hơi rẻ tiền đến cả một người nghèo cũng mua được hay không?”

 

Với tính chiến đấu rất cao, bác ấy lập một kế hoạch hoành tráng, thuê 5 kỹ sư mới ra trường của đại học bách khoa tạo nên cái xe 2.000 USD với đa số là linh kiện Tàu. Xe làm ra chạy ngon lành cành đào.

 

Vấn đề bắt đầu xuất hiện.

 

Một nhà báo nghe tin bác Nguyễn Văn Kinh làm ra chiếc xe siêu rẻ liền làm 4 kỳ liên tục về “Doanh nhân Kinh làm xe siêu rẻ”. Khổ nỗi loạt bài này rất ít nhắc đến các từ như “đam mê”, “liều lĩnh”, “dũng cảm”, “sáng tạo”,… mà lại có rất nhiều chi tiết như “ai cũng bảo bác ấy hâm”, “bạn bè bảo bác ấy dở hơi”, “Vợ bác ấy nói bác yêu xe hơn yêu vợ”,…

 

Sau đó là hàng trăm tờ báo khác lao vào xâu xé, khai thác bác Nguyễn Văn Kinh với các đề tài tương tự, có điều là với cường độ hâm hơn nhiều. Nhiều nhà báo còn khai thác đời tư của bác ấy một cách không cần thiết ví dụ như phát hiện ra bác ấy là “người dân tộc nhưng rất kinh”.

 

Vì bác ấy HÂM nên bác ấy vẫn đem xe ra đường thử nghiệm. Nhưng đúng ngày đó thì đùng một cái, cảnh sát giao thông tuyên bố: “Thằng cha Nguyễn Văn Kinh đó chạy thử trong sân nhà hắn thì được chứ mang xe ra đường mà chạy là chúng tôi bắt”.

 

Báo chí lại sôi sục ầm ầm: sao bắt, luật có cấm đâu, hâm à, dở hơi à, điên à? Cảnh sát GT trả lời: “Cái gì ra đường có nguy cơ gây nguy hiểm cho người dân là chúng tôi bắt”.

 

Nghe có lý không và có quen không? Nó cũng giống như giải thích của mấy bác quân đội khi cấm ông Hải ở Tây Ninh thử nghiệm máy bay trực thăng tự chế. Hay gần đây nhất là công an Thái Bình không cho ông Hòa thử nghiệm tàu ngầm vậy. Lý do rất nhân đạo, nhân văn và nhân dân: “Cái gì đưa xuống nước có thể nguy hiểm cho ngư dân là chúng tôi bắt”.

 

Ơ, hay nhỉ. Cái tàu ngầm này mà đưa ra biển nó cũng chỉ ra xa được 100m, lặn sâu 5-10m là cùng, chắc chẳng chết ai. Còn ngoài biển có những thứ nó ngang nhiên cắt cáp của tàu lớn, đâm vỡ tàu nhỏ, ăn cướp hải sản, bắt bớ đánh đập ngư dân sao các bác không bắt hết hốt hết đi?

 

Thôi quay trở về với cái xe siêu rẻ. Nó không được đưa ra thử nghiệm để sản xuất hàng loạt, tất nhiên rồi. Vì người ta luôn quan niệm làm ra cái xe hơi, cái máy bay, cái tàu ngầm phải là công việc của các bác giáo sư có mấy chục cái bằng hay của một cơ quan bí mật đó của nhà nước cơ, người dân sao làm nổi.

 

Thế là cấm! Đấy, thay vì dùng “sự phá hủy sáng tạo” của ông Schumpeter thì VN mình lại sáng tạo thành “phá hủy sự sáng tạo”.

 

Khi được hỏi có nghiên cứu thị trường trước khi sản xuất xe 4 bánh chạy bằng động cơ hay không thì Henry Ford nói rằng: “Nếu hỏi người tiêu dùng muốn gì họ sẽ nói muốn một con ngựa chạy nhanh hơn”. May mà khi ông Ford đem xe ra chạy thử, chẳng có ai cấm. Nếu nước Mỹ cũng có tư tưởng cấm đoán này thì hẳn rằng đến năm Ngọ này họ vẫn còn cưỡi ngựa.

 

Và sau này khi IBM thử nghiệm bộ xi xử lý, Microsoft bán hệ điều hành, Google đưa công cụ tìm kiếm mọi thứ mà người ta cố giấu hay Facebook cho người ta cơ hội thể hiện cảm xúc cá nhân cũng chẳng ai cấm cả.

 

Thay vì thịt con gà ngay khi mới lớn, người ta nuôi dưỡng, khuyến khích con gà đẻ trứng vàng. Còn ở VN thì đến con chim nó mới đập cánh vài cái đã bị bóp chết bởi những dọa nạt bản quyền với truy thu thuế.

 

Ở đâu mà người ta để cho sự sáng tạo được tự do, ở đó sẽ có những phát minh thay đổi thế giới.

 

Thôi thì “hãy cứ khát khao, hãy cứ dại khờ”

Paste-up street art in London, England that says "Create or Die!" The artist is Thirsty Bstrd (Julien Surdeau), a French visual artist from Paris.

Written on the verso: Helena M. Buckley, Amsterdam, Montgomery County, June Class of ‘87.

 

(The Albany State Normal School was created in 1844 as New York’s response to rapidly expanding common school education in the state in the 1840s and increasing dissatisfaction with the quality of teachers. The new Normal School's mission was to both train new and upgrade existing common school teachers. Throughout its nearly half-century life, the Normal School was a two-year institution whose curriculum revolved around the subjects taught in the common (or elementary) schools and emphasized the integration of subject matter and teaching methods. Some students came with only a common school education, others with teaching experience; some completed the program, more left to begin or continue teaching careers after a term or two. After the Civil War the student body became heavily female, reflecting the feminization of American common school education at the time.)

 

Helena Morton Buckley was born 23 December 1865 in Montgomery County, New York, the daughter of Benjamin Johnson Buckley (born 1836) and Elizabeth McQueen (1836-1911). On 18 September 1885, Helena was admitted to the junior first class of the Albany School. Upon leaving Albany School, she taught in Amsterdam from around 1889 to 1896. She then took a teaching post in Brooklyn, New York, where she would teach for around 35 years, retiring at age 70. Helena did not marry. She passed away in Pennsylvania on 28 April 1952.

 

Photographer Edwin Smith Sterry was born 25 April 1842 in Mystic, Connecticut, the son of David Sterry (1801-1856) and Orpha Smith (1812-1873). In 1850, Edwin was living with his parents and four siblings in Canaan, New York, where his father worked as a carpenter. Edwin was a clerk in Troy, New York during 1858-1859. By 1860, he was listed in Troy directories as an ambrotype artist at 98 Congress Street. Edwin was married on 24 March 1864 to Mary Elizabeth Scollay (1845-1914), and the couple had at least two children. He remained in Troy until at least 1879, but he also had a gallery in Lansingburgh, NY, during 1864-1868. By 1882, he had relocated to Albany, NY, at 520 & 522 Broadway. Sterry worked as a photographer in Albany until at least 1896. He passed away on 14 January 1900.
