A new post-processing technique that I tried today. Tell me what do you think about it?
P.S. My first shot that got explored! Thank you!

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 ...

After visiting an art exhibition at Studio 36 in Exeter yesterday I took a few photos of sculptures in the garden following a torrential downpour.

Affection, the gifted architect is making a draft and beautiful design.
The options and possibilities are endless when we connect and re-align.
Collections of books and documents arise and parade around my cluttered desk. Reworking the math and measurements until I'm convinced these plans are picturesque, like mountains in the Midwest.
Reaction creates the columns dark and, wide like the roads around Fort Lauderdale, the structures begin to take their shape. Before I've designed the public monorail, the turnpike and high-speed motorway connect and enclose the quaint suburban streets.
The airport, the broad suspension bridge, the lake, and the beach, where several rivers meet, compounded from the spreadsheet.

This statue of explorer Leif Eriksson stands in front of the Hallgrímskirkja, the church in Reykjavik. It seemed that only the lights to the left of the church and to the right of the statue were working, which made choosing a composition pretty straight forward.
Monster High Frankie Stein presents The Explorers Guild Volume One: A Passage to Shambhala (©2015) by Jon Baird, Stephen Meyer, and Kevin Costner (yes, that Kevin Costner), illustrated by Rick Ross.
.
The tale is set in the period between 1912 and 1918. Coincidentally, one of the subplots of the mammoth tome I finally finished reading last night, Against the Day by Thomas Pynchon, was a search for the mythical land of Shambhala set in the same time period.
.
Similar to the remarkable The Invention of Hugo Cabret (©2007) by Brian Selznick, The Explorers Guild intersperses text chapters with a graphic novel format, although in Explorers Guild much of the artwork is of a more straightforward comic book style as opposed to the almost fine art approach of Cabret, with the exception of several astonishing full-colour plates reminiscent of N. C. Wyeth in both style and substance.
.
So, how is it? I don't know, I haven't read it yet, but I intend to start as soon as I have finished composing this overly-lengthy caption!
