Photographed in Key Biscayne - off Miami, Florida
We have had a few days of windy conditions and clouds, which makes interesting long-exposure photos. I tried my luck and went down to Key Biscayne to shoot a sunset. I got stuck in traffic and the drive took me so much longer than anticipated.
It was getting darker quickly when I finally got to my familiar spot. An older man was sitting in a chair smoking a cigar and enjoying the remaining light of the sunset. He suddenly said: "You just missed everything," while I was setting up. "It's all over!" he continued. "We'll see! Now that I'm seeing this I have something different in mind," I replied. "I think my reality perception might be different than yours. I wish you could see what this will look like when I'm done." We continued chatting for the next ten to fifteen minutes I spent shooting this scene. Afterwards it was really over.
If this would be my blog, I would post a view of what he was "seeing." Kind of a "before" and "after" viewing.
I shot this image for a combination of post production work using HDR and long-exposure. I wrote about this work in previous postings. The water was choppy and the foreground in total darkness. The cloud's movement was interesting. In this case the long exposure layer of the image was captured for about 200s at f/11. The HDR part was obtained from a 7-capture sequence ranging from -3 to +3 stops. All post work done in CS6.

There are no facts, only interpretations. ~Friedrich Nietzsche
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. ~Albert Einstein
This is a reality which the government will have to face. Despite claims of economic gains they will have address poverty as seen in the "real economy".
My friend Michael Naimark is exploring new ideas for virtual reality experiences, in collaboration with Google and other researchers. To discuss this work, we got together with two other colleagues, Steve Gano and Jim McKee -- with whom we worked at the Apple Multimedia Lab in the eighties, pushing the envelope on related questions.
We started with a tour of the historic Sentinel Building in North Beach, home of American Zoetrope -- where Francis Coppola worked on many cinematic masterpieces like The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. We checked out the underground screening room and sound mixing room where some of that work took place, then headed upstairs to Michael and Jim’s studios, for a wonderful conversation about the new VR frontier.
Michael and his colleagues are researching how people are represented in virtual reality. Their first experiment at Google’s “Big Chairs” Park led to some helpful guidelines on how to film people for VR, by using different camera angles and distances.
They’re also investigating ‘hyper-images’ that resemble a group of people, but that are shot at different times and composited together to create both ‘credible’ and ‘incredible’ pictures. To enable more experiments like these, Michael is developing ‘IMU VR’, a new type of camera that could make it easier for communities to tell their stories in VR. More on this later.
It was great to reconnect with my colleagues and brainstorm these ideas together. It felt like the good old days, and the creative juices were flowing all over again ...

I have been re-creating Nida's story, because I felt it would be more fitting. I will talk more about it later :3
Long abandoned and unused,the barn on the Dead End Farm is on its last legs.Some interesting machinery can be found in the brush and rubble,but it is probably not salvageable.

when I learned
that my uncle
had lost his mind
it was around the time
I was finding mine
what a wrench to the heart
what a strange way to start
stalled out when reality
refused to play its part
in your underwear in the snow
what a strange way to go
waiting on a voice
to tell you where to grow
but spring will not commit
to the subtlety of sanity
reality, the bore
spread eagle on the forest floor
gotta be a preacher or a busker
gotta reach right out
and touch her as she sleeps
the spirit of the silence
you can't keep
