Decide upon an emotion you wish to convey, use that as your guide to build your story.
— Ian Teh
Ian adds…
“One of photography’s greatest strengths is its ability to emote through its ability to suggest. How would you frame your image based on the emotion you have decided upon? What colours will you use (or not)? What details will you include (or not)? What elements will be a constant recurrence in your story? These are just some of the thoughts that you could ponder upon. This reductive process helps define a framework that will guide you into capturing that distinct emotional note you are looking for in your story.”
Hamilton Fire Department battled a major fire on Ridge Road West on Stoney Creek Mountain where a home, barn and other property were destroyed in the middle of the night. Damages are estimated at over $1 million and the Ontario Fire Marshall is investigating the cause. Grimsby Fire Department assisted with mutual aid, providing a tanker truck. No persons were injured in this incident.
The Paparazzi Bots is a series of five autonomous robots each standing at the height of the average human. Comprised of multiple microprocessors, cameras, sensors, code and robotic actuators on a custom-built rolling platform, they move at the speed of a walking human, avoiding walls and obstacles while using sensors to move toward humans. They seek one thing, which is to capture photos of people and to make these images available to the press and the world wide web as a statement of culture's obsession with the “celebrity image” and especially our own images. The flash autonomously goes off, capturing people’s photos and elevating them to “celebrity” in a kind of momentary anointing by the robots. The robots also become celebrities through their association to the “famous people” at the exhibition that are captured by the Paparazzi Bots.
Each autonomous robot can make the decision to take the photos of particular people, while ignoring other humans in the exhibition, based on things such as, whether or not the viewers are smiling or the shape of their smile. When the robots identify a person or group they will automatically adjust their focus and use a series of bright flashes to record that moment.
Surveillance technologies straddle a delicate balance that we have in contemporary culture, where we are all photographed without our knowledge by cell phones, hidden cameras and sometimes “celebritized”. This is a kind of modern baptism with the camera flash and the spectacle of being the focus of the camera becoming a kind of techno anointing.
This work explores ideas surrounding the shifting territories of self and machine and how machines can manipulate the other (us) in a grand co-evolutionary dance of emerging robot-human relations.
The recent emergence of social networks and their ability to connect people through software prompts via the world wide web is a prime example of the co-evolution of humans and their intelligent machines. The fact that the software prompts exploit our social needs for connectivity and social space is so easily exploited in this new critical juncture in our emerging machine human relations.
This camera can track your head and be set to take a photo if you smile mildly, medium-smile or pull-a-muscle smile. When set to smile mode, they do seem to prefer even smiles rather than crooked smiles so here the machine is making determinations about issues of "beauty". I have considered holding a robot beauty contest as an addition to this work.

Goofying around with my camera: I used the raw average feature of chdk to create a multiple exposure effect instead of the intended dri usage.
I thought the backlighting would make the mask look like it replaced my face, not quite but pretty close. all effects done in camera.
CHITRAL: Multiple grave where Bones and remaining of Human bodies lying in a single grave at Singore village discovered by Archeology Department of Hazara University where Archeological site of 1000 BC (some 4000 years old) recovered after excavation. The dead bodies have been buried with different ways like Inhumation, Extended, Flexed, Crouch, Cremation and in Pot burial which linked to Gandara (Arian) origin. The experts disclosed that Kalasha tribe are not descendents of Alexander (Greece) but they belongs to Arian origin. This excavation opened a new chapter in Kalash history. As well as there are multiple graves where many people have been buried on a single grave which show Arian origin. Photo by Gul Hamaad Farooqi.
