This is a picture of the phone box just off Ferry Road, Studland. A little quirky and fantastically British! Catch the ferry and you will be brushing shoulders with the rich and famous in Sandbanks, one of the worlds most expensive areas of real estate. Head West and you will pass such sites as Corfe Castle, Kimmeridge Bay and the world famous Durdle Door.
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 ...

Predjama Castle near Postonja in Slovenia, it has a series of caves beside the castle which resembles the cave system described by Tolkien in Rohan´s "Helm´s Deep".

The City of New York, often called New York City or simply New York, is the most populous city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the State of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world.
A global power city, New York City exerts a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment, its fast pace defining the term New York minute. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural and financial capital of the world.
Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a separate county of New York State. The five boroughs – Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx, and Staten Island – were consolidated into a single city in 1898.
New York City traces its origin to its 1624 founding in Lower Manhattan as a trading post by colonists of the Dutch Republic and was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664. New York served as the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790. It has been the country's largest city since 1790.

We spent a week in New York City in May, aiming to explore the city beyond Manhattan and enjoy vibrant moods of this never-sleeping megalopolis.
Walking is arguably the best way to explore the city, and combined with large subway system one may spend weeks still not having visited and seen everything.
this is a typical makeshift street food stall near a school in metro manila. popular among students because of its cheap fast food. this particular stall sells fried chicken bits skewered on sticks. each chicken stick cost around 10 us cents. due to rise of sickness, involving lack of hygiene and sanitary practice among these transient businesses, the government continuously monitors and tries to regulate these forms of establishments

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.

I haven't had any photos to post lately but this one from yesterday came out decent so I thought I'd toss it up here to keep y'all occupied.
Willie and I haven't had a good photo shoot in a while. All of our Death Valley shoots were a bust and we hoped that Sunday would change our luck. We watched as Saturday and Sunday morning brought amazing sunsets and sunrises yet we stayed in bed out of laziness. Not wanting to miss another good opportunity we hoped in the car and decided to try our luck at Marshall Beach in San Francisco. Neither of us had been here before and Willie was exhausted after a 10 mile hike the day before so I drove us through traffic as we found our way to the Golden Gate Bridge.
Due to unexpected traffic we arrived at Marshall Beach much later than we intended. We raced down the mile long hike to the beach (it's pretty steep, but luckily the city of SF built a bunch of steps to make the trail down nice and easy). We got to the beach and quickly realized there were numerous compositions and we ran back and forth trying to find a good one before the sun got low and started lighting up the sky. Eventually we settled on a spot in the back that gave us a composition with rocks that would direct the incoming waves and provide some nice foreground motion. After finding a spot that I liked I got my Lee filter holder, remote shutter, and filters out and began to setup my tripod….
As I pulled open my tripod legs and went to attach my camera to the tripod my heart skipped a beat …. my ball-head looked strange. It was then that I noticed the knob that turns the quick release head to clamp my camera to the tripod was missing. Not a big deal I thought, I can at least use my fingers to turn the screw. Oh wait …. the quick release clamp (that moves in and holds the camera in) was gone too!!! Completely missing!!!! I have no idea how the entire thing fell off but it meant that my tripod was useless! Useless!
(Update: I called Acratech this morning and once they receive my ball-head they will replace the quick release clamp for free and send it back to me! Man their service rocks!).
I was forced to hand-hold my shots for this shoot. Knowing that we needed long shutters to provide foreground motion Willie suggested that I use a rock to balance the camera. This was a great idea because it gave me a little extra stability without my tripod but it also meant that my compositions were limited to a couple spots. My thoughts of catching waves crashing over some other rocks were dashed. Despite the lack of tripod I still managed to get a number of shots that came out decent and since I was slightly higher up the beach I also managed to stay more dry than Willie, who took a splash over his new rain boots.
Unfortunately for us, Mamma Nature is still mad at us and although there were *perfect* clouds above the Golden Gate Bridge, a bunch of low, thick clouds rolled in at the horizon behind us and blocked the light from reaching anywhere. Oh well, Black and White it is, which turned out kinda neat!
