Opening reception this Saturday for the 9th Annual Fine Art of Photography Competition/Exhibit in Plymouth, Center for the Arts. My print 'Planetary explorers' was accepted into the show. (Fun fact: This is a straight photograph, taken in September last year during the fogxflo installation in the Back Bay Fens.)

After several inches of snow that managed to stick when all of our mini snowfalls didn't, and freezing temperatures halting the emerging plants, we finally have flowers on the trees and the grey palette is beginning to lift.

Gull in Whitby
UPDATE MAY 2011 - #37 on Explore for 25.05.2011 - thank you very much everybody! :-)
Had a visit to Whitby few weeks ago, I forgot how nice this place is having not been there in a while but plan to have a revisit to get a photo of the harbour and pier hopefully when it s a bit quieter.
Anyway, whilst walking back off the pier noticed this chap just sitting on the wall. He was sitting there quite nicely and some nice person decided to give him their left over chips, he looked at them and just turned his nose up at it which I thought is very unusual, maybe the Gulls in Whitby must be well fed. Anyway, the Gull you see in the background flying away was sitting with him and then just flew off which he didn't seem happy about and then promptly started squawking and this photo was the result, he was almost playing up to the camera :-)
Hope everyone's week is going well.

Information
Gulls (often informally called seagulls) are birds in the family Laridae. They are most closely related to the terns (family Sternidae) and only distantly related to auks, skimmers, and more distantly to the waders. Until recently most gulls were placed in the genus Larus, but this arrangement is now known to be polyphyletic, leading to the resurrection of several genera. Gulls are typically medium to large birds, usually grey or white, often with black markings on the head or wings. They typically have harsh wailing or squawking calls, stout, longish bills, and webbed feet. Gull species range in size from the Little Gull, at 120 g (4.2 oz) and 29 cm (11.5 inches), to the Great Black-backed Gull, at 1.75 kg (3.8 lbs) and 76 cm (30 inches).
You know when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales? That fantasy of what your life would be – white dress, prince charming who'd carry you away to a castle on a hill. You'd lie in your bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa clause, the tooth fairy, prince charming –they were so close you could taste them. But eventually you grow up and one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is, it's hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely because almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope and faith that one day they would open their eyes and it would all come true.
At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale is slightly different than your dream. The castle, well it may not be a castle. And it's not so important that it's happily ever after – just that it's happy right now. See, once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you. And once in a while, people may even take your breath away.

Today I explored some parts of Zagreb, it finally didn't rain. I found a different world when I went through an hidden door.

My sister Inga has him most of the time.
He is very cute (and a bit overweighted), with lots of fur.

Thank you, Erica!
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 ...
