Some of my conclusions at Stanford's VLAB 2014.

I am reminded of the closing chapter in Danny Hillis' book The Pattern on the Stone: “We will not engineer an artificial intelligence; rather we will set up the right conditions under which an intelligence can emerge. The greatest achievement of our technology may well be creation of tools that allow us to go beyond engineering – that allow us to create more than we can understand.”

Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain

I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days

She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones

Seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone

And I'll be gone, gone tonight

The ground beneath my feet is open wide

The way that I've been holding on too tight

With nothing in between

The story of my life

I take her home

I drive all night to keep her warm

And time... is frozen

The story of my life

I give her hope

I spend her love

Until she's broke

Inside

The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

Written on these walls are the colors that I can't change

Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage

I know that in the morning now I see us in the light upon a hill

Although I am broken, my heart is untamed, still

And I'll be gone, gone tonight

The fire beneath my feet is burning bright

The way that I've been holding on so tight

With nothing in between

And I been waiting for this time to come around

But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds

The story of my life

I take her home

I drive all night to keep her warm

And time is frozen

The story of my life

I give her hope

I spend her love

Until she's broke (until she's broke inside)

Inside

The story of my life

More tinkering with gear. Today this lovely "on the fly" portrait was done without posing on planned setup. Lovely lady was watching TV and I asked if it was OK to snap away. She said yes and I asked her to be natural and not pose.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III with Hasselblad 80mm f2.8 CFE T*, with Vizilex ND Throttle (Hasselblad V to Canon) adapter. Canon Speedlight 430EX II on camera flash set at 1/2 power. Had the ND on the adapter set at about 5 stops. Lens was wide open.

Not sure but I think the ND filter is giving a color cast particularly the background which was beige color. Need more testing to be sure. Anyone with any experience with ND with flash indoors or Vizilex ND adapters?

My smart, sad little granddaughter in an unguarded moment. God bless this sweet child.

Pink and pale blue sky.

We met this seagull meandering, apparently steeped in thought, on the banks of the Thames exposed by low tide.

The other night it snowed and I saw this shot through the den window. I grabbed my coat and camera and shot it like a man on a hunting mission. After I uploaded it, I called Don in to see it. He just looked at me like I was nuts (he's not far off you know, 5150). But then last night I was showing him some pics that were in Explore and he made a very positive comment on one I just laughed at. So it just goes to prove beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder or as one of my good friends puts it, "There's an ass for every seat."

These guys have a serious yet friendly game of chess going on at Market Square in Pittsburg. The guy smoking the cigarette appears to analyze this game while the guy on the right is working through his next move.

This bakery makes the greatest hamburger buns I will ever eat. You can tell when you get a Hanisch bun, the softness and quality is beyond compare. It's heaven holding the glory of the almighty cheeseburger

I've gotten into writing haikus lately, I used to write them as "Love Notes" to my girlfriend, (now wife) back in high school. I'd pass her a quick note in the hallways as walked past each other going to different classes throughout the day

Pillowy soft bun

My cheeseburger weeps for you

I saw these lads perched up on a wall in Bangalore while I was whizzing by in a taxi. I loved how the group was looking out to their left...and the dreamer among them looking the opposite direction in deep thought.

5 bullets,I Like:

-Her Contemplation.

-Fanning fingers.

-The angles formed by

a)the arm/hand holding her resting elbow like a 'U'

b)the arm of the lady in foreground almost coinciding her hand forming a 'V'

-Liked her pose paving her way from figures in foreground.

-Lastly the gym outfit :)

Also if you like to complete the ellipsis, you are all welcomed!! :)

I wonder why...

Hurray TGIF!!

Wish you a great weekend friends.
