A 4by6.com box, seen outside the studio of Jenny Eisenpresser during the Dumbo Art Festival 2009 in New York City.
Jenny Eisenpresser was born in New York city and studied art earning a BFA and BA at Cornell University. She worked several years as a commercial artist: designing book covers; doing exhibition signage and freelance illustration. Currently she is pursuing her art and experimenting daily in her studio in Dumbo, Brooklyn, where she'll be unless she accidentally blows it up.
Her portfolio is available at jennyeisenpresser.com
13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)
www.dumboartfestival.org/press_release.html
The three-day multi-site neighborhood-wide event is a one-of-a-kind art happening: where serendipity meets the haphazard and where the unpredictable, spontaneous and downright weird thrive. The now teenage D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® presents touchable, accessible, and interactive art, on a scale that makes it the nation's largest urban forum for experimental art.
Art Under the Bridge is an opportunity for young artists to use any medium imaginable to create temporary projects on-the-spot everywhere and anywhere, completely transforming the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, New York, into a vibrant platform for self-expression. In addition to the 80+ projects throughout the historical post-industrial waterfront span, visitors can tour local artists' studios or check out the indoor video_dumbo, a non-stop program of cutting-edge video art from New York City and around the world.
The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) has been the exclusive producer of the D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival® since 1997. DAC is a big impact, small non-profit, that in addition to its year-round gallery exhibitions, is committed to preserving Dumbo as a site in New York City where emerging visual artists can experiment in the public domain, while having unprecedented freedom and access to normally off-limit locations.

The Western Digital My Book Elite has a user customizable display so you can easily see which drive is which. It also displays available space on the drive. This is very useful as I am starting to lose track of which drive is which on my external drive collection.
I bought this to mainly deal with the 7D's 25MB RAW file problem which eats up my 1TB internal drive way too quickly. I have now offloaded the sound libraries and backup tasks to it, while keeping my cloud backup for all media files on jungledisk.com (which uses Amazon S3 + is compatible on Windows, Mac and Linux)
For stuff that has constant change, I use my SVN server hosted on cvsdude.com and if I need to collaborate with anyone, I drop them to dropbox.com
I seem to recall that there is a special name for these pearl-like grapes, but I don't remember the name...

It seems that photographing “nothing of interest” is a personal specialty. This is the beautiful forms from the side of a concrete bridge. The curvature are natural and are not a result of geometric distortion from the lens. Bridges are just so beautiful, especially when used and decayed.

People often think that artists don't read. Not true! Art is a form of communication. How can you have output without input? Interesting to see what James Cospito (Flickr) has got at his studio:

An unexpected effect from working on the serenity series (which is scenery outside my window) is being able to predict weather based on cloud formation and wave patterns on the water surface.
Last night based on pattern recognition alone I predicted that it will rain this morning even though it was very sunny outside. No one believed me. And it poured heavily today. I did take photos before the storm also but it was not really interesting to look at. But some time when I have a moment I will show you what I meant.
Pictured: A white yacht was seen sailing alone after that storm has passed during sunset. I am particularly drawn to how every small bit of sunlight from the cloud creates a smudged bits on the seascape.

Rear Fender
Not for sale
Much of the ZDX's athletic appearance is the result of tis deep rear fenders. They not only contribute to the vehicle's bold stance but also allow the lines running down the side to converge at the rear, as if they were being pulled back tautly. Creating them required a deeper draw of sheet metal than on almost any other vehicle in production and necessitated the development of new manufacturing processes to help the metal slip cleanly from the die. The single-piece construction was crucial in retaining the fluid, seamless nature of the original design.

blog.seeminglee.com/2012/12/professionalism-is-qualitativ...
Some people said that they are not a professional because they don't make any money doing what they do. I find this interesting. What does making money have anything to do with being a professional or not?
To me, professionalism is an attitude. It is a measure of how one approaches an activity. It has nothing to do with the amount of money one makes doing it.
I have worked with countless so-called “professionals” in my years of business over the years and I can tell you that there are a lot of people—regardless of competency—who charge their clients exuberant sums of money but who can never deliver what was promised. I have also worked with countless so-called “non-professionals” who do not receive much pay but are top-notch in what they do.
You are a professional if you can deliver a professional product. You are a professional if you maintain a professional attitude while doing it. You are not a professional just because you do it for a living. You are not a professional just because you have a degree in that field. You are most certainly not a professional just because you are able to make lots of money doing it.
Business transactions are monetary exchange agree by two parties. Business dealings, monetary compensation and professionalism often relate. However, relationship is not the same as equality.

In working on the “寧 Serenity” series, I observe that photographing “無 nothing” often is more interesting than “有 something”. It seems counter-intuitive. But photographing “nothing” reveals patterns which are unobservable when intentionally photographing “something”

Dogs have a better view than humans, I think. I am 188cm (6 ft 2 in) tall so things look very different for me. The good thing about being tall is that although I do get claustrophobic easily, riding on the jam-packed metro in Hong Kong I still only see open space. But things always seem so much more interesting near the ground level. Maybe I just don’t see this view much.
This was photographed near where I live: 聽濤雅苑 Vista Paradiso (in the background). The pathway on the right is the bicycle lane. If you walk all the way down you will reach the 馬鞍山海濱長廊 Ma On Shan promenade. A lot of bicycles are parked here because it is connected directly to the 恆安地鐵站 Heng On MTR (Hong Kong metro) Station . So I guess people would bike to the station, park their bikes here and get on the subway.
Most parts of Ma On Shan are connected with bicycle lanes. If I could do this in New York I would so do it. Unfortunately it is not.

This store is absolutely amazing! The 豪大大雞排 Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken sells fried chicken. No, it’s not the American Southern style fried chicken — rather, the chicken is slapped into a thin piece of steak-like shape (think minute steak), coated with spices and then deep fried into perfection.
Although you see only a few people lining up here, by the time I finished eating, the line was half a block long. It was super yummy. Highly recommended!
I can’t find their website but apparently they are so popular that they have opened up stores in Australia — and they do have a website: hotstarchicken.com.au/ so you can see what those chicken looks like, perhaps?

Since posting the photo where I described how I am now able to predict stormy weather based on patterns on the sea [1], a few people commented that they would like to see what those patterns look like. It does not look like that it will rain for a couple of days, so I looked into my unprocessed archive to find an example.
I did not post it previously because I did not really like how this looks at full resolution, but it does illustrate the patterns quite well so here it is.
# Observed patterns
+ The wave forms are disjointed. Compare this to a sunny day, where the lines are continuous and smooth
+ The waves have heights and they are very closed by to each other. And so on a photographic capture they look almost like a dessert.
+ Clear wind patterns. You can see the wind blowing the water into these valleys (white on photo) in very thin lines. These thin lines then break the thicker wave forms (going horizontally).
Because how fast the water is traveling, it seems that I need to up the shutter speed next time, so I will remember that. I might also try an ND with this as it might be interesting. On a normal day it makes close to no difference photographing this as a long exposure or not because the water remains relatively still.
# SML Thank You
I am surprised by how many people actually read my photo descriptions, as evidenced by the comments left behind in direct response to things which I wrote. Thank you for your gentle encouragement and support. You rock! Lots of SML Love to you. :)

Agata Olek (Flickr). Photographed during my interview with her regarding her 100% Acrylic Art Guards public installation during the annual Art Under the Bridge Festival in 2009.
Her wonderfully inspiring portfolio is available at www.agataolek.com. She also has a blog at www.agataolek.com/blog
See also Agata Olek talks about her 100% Acrylic Art Guards (Flickr 720p HD video)
Agata Olek Biography. The SPLAT! of colors hits you in the face, often clashing so ostentatiously that it instantly tunes you into the presence of severely cheeky humor. A moment later the fatigue of labor creeps into your fingers as a coal miner's work ethic becomes apparent. Hundreds of miles of crocheted, weaved, and often recycled materials are the fabric from which the wild and occasionally wearable structures of her fantasylands are born.
Olek was born Agata Oleksiak in Poland and graduated from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poland with a degree in cultural studies. In New York, she rediscovered her ability to crochet and since then she has started her crocheted journey/madness.
Resume sniffers may be pleased to know Olek's work has been presented in galleries from Brooklyn to Istanbul to Venice and Brazil, featured in "The New York Times", "Fiberarts Magazine", "The Village Voice", and "Washington Post" and drags a tail of dance performance sets and costumes too numerous to mention.
Olek received the Ruth Mellon Award for Sculpture, was selected for 2005 residency program at Sculpture Space, 2009 residency in Instituto Sacatar in Brazil, and is a winner of apex art gallery commercial competition. Olek was an artist in an independent collective exhibition, "Waterways," during the 49th Venice Biennale. She was also a featured artist in "Two Continents Beyond," at the 9th International Istanbul Biennale.
Olek herself however can be found in her Greenpoint studio with a bottle of spiced Polish vodka and a hand rolled cigarette aggressively re-weaving the world as she sees.
13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)
www.dumboartfestival.org/press_release.html
The three-day multi-site neighborhood-wide event is a one-of-a-kind art happening: where serendipity meets the haphazard and where the unpredictable, spontaneous and downright weird thrive. The now teenage D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® presents touchable, accessible, and interactive art, on a scale that makes it the nation's largest urban forum for experimental art.
Art Under the Bridge is an opportunity for young artists to use any medium imaginable to create temporary projects on-the-spot everywhere and anywhere, completely transforming the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, New York, into a vibrant platform for self-expression. In addition to the 80+ projects throughout the historical post-industrial waterfront span, visitors can tour local artists' studios or check out the indoor video_dumbo, a non-stop program of cutting-edge video art from New York City and around the world.
The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) has been the exclusive producer of the D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival® since 1997. DAC is a big impact, small non-profit, that in addition to its year-round gallery exhibitions, is committed to preserving Dumbo as a site in New York City where emerging visual artists can experiment in the public domain, while having unprecedented freedom and access to normally off-limit locations.

With its striking geometric facade, Murray Building (美利大廈)—a government office building located in Central, Hong Kong—is one of my favorite architectures in Hong Kong.
Form follows function—its facade is designed to be super functional. The windows were meticulously oriented such that every office would avoid the intrusion of excessive direct sunlight. The design won the Certificate of Merit of the Energy Efficient Building Award in 1994.
This building used to house many of the key decision making bureaus of the Hong Kong government, but the site will soon be auctioned off for re-development into a hotel as the government bureaus which used to be located there have moved to the Central Government Complex, Tamar in 2011.
Also in view is part of the Citibank Tower complex, and in the reflection, the HSBC headquarters designed by Norman Foster.
