I'm treating Squiggy like it's her birthday because she has brought me more good fortune. Two years ago when she first started coming around, I took a picture of her (below) that won second-place in a wildlife contest in Canadian Geographic magazine. I just found out that Canadian Geographic will be including the same picture in a special interest edition that's coming out in November. So Happy Birthday to my special nut and thanks for all the entertainment and photo opps!

Rob and I went for a drive, stopped in Greater Napanee, we were having some fun smashing the ice chips collecting on the shore-Explore Highest #287 Jan.12/09
an out-take from some time in the last year. I have no idea who this is. I've explored and shot photos with many cool people in the last few years. Normally when processing and clearing out files one might say " WTF is this person doing in my shot?"...and just delete... But not today. I actually liked the sense of solitude and walking into the void
What an odd thing to do. Wandering into abandoned buildings and taking photos. Smelling mold and decay, Hazards everywhere. At face value, it's a really stupid thing to do. Not exactly safe, even if we do try to be as safe as we can. People have and will continue to get injured and killed doing this. Not exactly legal either, as many have learned the hard way.
But there is a draw that I cannot describe with words. A feeling unlike anything I've ever experienced. Breaking the barrier from outside, to inside. Turning a corner and facing the prospect of a long hallway and not knowing if you are alone. Feeling the presence of the factory workers that walked these hallways a century ago. The pride that still remains in these abandoned structures that built the American dream. The rush is incredible. Those who know what I am talking about get it. Those that don't get it will never get it.
How much is enough? I have no idea. Last year crawling 100 yards through a frozen tunnel on a disintegrating conveyor belt while busting into an abandoned warehouse, I thought to myself, what the Hell are you doing man? At the same time I thought, Wow, this is awesome. What a thrill. I love this. It's part of who I am now.
and so here, the urban explorer. Saddled with gear. Walking into the black. An adventure inadvertently captured in mid sentence.
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 ...

Pulicat lake bird sanctuary is a saline backwater lake lying along the T.N.-A.P coast; part extending to Chengalpattu district of T.N. It has an area of 481 sq.KM and it is the 2nd largest brackish water lagoon in India after Chilka lake in Orissa. The area on the TN side is 153.67 sq.km.
The Pulicat sanctuary is drained by Arni river while the Buckingham canal brings in the city’s drainage water. At the southern end is an opening on to Bay of Bengal through a shallow mouth of 200 m in width. The rest of the lake is closed by a sand bar running parallel to the Bay of Bengal in the form of the Sriharikota island.
The sanctuary has an area of 321 Sq. KM with 108 sq.KM of National Park area.
It lies within 11o 30’ N to 11o 42’ N and 76o 30’ E to 76o 45’ E.
Rainfall ranges from 800 - 2000mm. Temperature varies from 14o C to 33o C.
Altitude ranges from 100’ MSL to 1200’ MSL.
The wetlands eco system are considered as among the richest areas of bio diversity. Pulicat, by virtue of the mixing of fresh water with sea water is found to be an ideal habitat for diverse life-forms. 160 species of fish, 25 species of polychaete worms, 12 species of prawn, 19 species of mollusk and 100 speceis of birds are well documented apart from a number of other aquatic flora and fauna.
Among the most spectacular is the flamingo-a tall gaunt, white-coloured bird with a touch of pink on the wings, pink beak and legs, seen feeding in shallow water. The squat, large-billed grey pelican with gular pouch and a number of ducks are commonly seen. Flocks of sea gulls and terns circling in the sky or bobbing up and down on the water are an added attraction at pulicat. Besides, there are a number of waterside birds and waders such as curlews, stilts, plovers, sand pipers, lapwings, redshank. Egrets, herons, kites etc. are some other birds found here. The lake is also home to crabs, clams, mussels, oysters, snails, fish worms, insects, spiders, sponges, anemone, prawns, plankton and so on including rare endemic species like gilled leech, an unidentified bloodred fish, etc., Rapid siltation has caused loss of bio diversity. It is seen that mangrove opllen is found on Sriharikota Island indicating their existence some years back. Loss of mangroves may be one of the resons hastening siltation, reducing biodiversity and hence depriving fisherfolk of their livelihood.
