Near the end of the summer, I was asked by the publishers of Popular Science magazine to produce a visualization piece that explored the archive of their publication. PopSci has a history that spans almost 140 years, so I knew there would be plenty of material to draw from. Working with Mark Hansen, I ended up making a graphic that showed how different technical and cultural terms have come in and out of use in the magazine since it's inception.
The project begins with a 1980’s home-builder house fronting on lake austin. The original design did not harness views to the lake and Mount Bonnell, nor did it respect the ecological sensitivity of its site. The challenge was to develop a sensitive and inventive result out of a pre-existing condition. Through the use of glass, steel, detailing and light the home has been adaptively reinvented. Reflection, translucency, color and geometry conspire to bring natural light deep into the house. A new solarium, pool, and vegetative roof are tuned to interact with the natural context. Exterior materials and refined detailing of the roof structure give the volume clean lines and a bold presence, while abstracting the form of the original dormers and gable roof. Further connecting the home to its site, the roof begins to dissolve where a glass clad chimney and slatted wood screen stand in relief against the sky.

A lot of cleanup of the code to do (including refactoring it so that it can accept depth data from either SimpleOpenNI or Shiffman's Kinect library), but I'm pretty happy with these results. You can check out the current draft of the code here:

Marian Chau of the University of Hawai‘i Lyon Arboretum Seed Conservation Laboratory speaks about the processing of the ʻōhiʻa seeds in the lab.
University of Hawaiʻi scientists are working diligently to protect and preserve the ʻōhiʻa tree, which is being threatened by Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death, also known as ROD. The disease has already decimated more than 50,000 acres on Hawaiʻi Island, leaving once lush forests scattered with the white skeletons of dead ʻōhiʻa trees.
To save the ʻōhiʻa tree from extinction, the Seed Conservation Laboratory at UH Mānoa’s Lyon Arboretum has launched a campaign to fund an effort to collect and bank ʻōhiʻa seeds.
When I posted this, I hadn't updated Photoshop to read DL5 RAW files--this is one of the non-processed JPEGs samples from the D-Lux 5.
Straight out of camera, 100% UN-processed JPEGs were quite good if not excellent.
I've posted several JPEGs shot in various daylights/night/indoor--Harvard pics were shot around noon; Christian Science Park around 10am; The "Field" bar shots between 330pm and 6:00pm. Prudential area between 4 and 6pm; picture of the red flash light around 8:00pm inside the house with lights turned off.
So here are my thoughts on DL5, based on having used the DL4:
1. I love the colors. They are saturated but not overly unrealistic. Colors feel very "Leica." DL4's colors were good never wowed me.
2. DL5 focus is lightning fast and accurate. I took some shots while walking down to Harvard--snapped pictures without stopping and most of my shots came out fine. The focus, I feel is faster than the DL4.
3. DL5 is sharp at 24mm all the way to 90mm! DL5 is sharper than DL4 and have better details and better colors (color preference is subjective, of course. I just like DL5's saturated colors. Besides, it's easier to tone down the saturation than to add more, since adding saturation, to me, seems a little unnatural in the results).
4. ISO! I have never used a small digital compact that look as good in 1600ISO as the DL5. Most of the shots from the VERY low-lit bar were shot with 1600ISO. Some were shot with Shutter priority to get some motion blur.
5. Macro mode is amazing--1cm focusing distance, just like the Ricoh GRD3.
Of course, DL5 still suffers from typical small sensor issue--lack of a broad dynamic range--leading to blown out highlights and detail-less shadows. But, such issues are easily fixed in LR or PS. With such great JPEGs results, I won't have to feel so eager waiting for RAW support in LR.
Oh, one thing I dislike about DL5 is there is no grip. When I sold my DL4, I gave away the grip. I think I'll have to get another one. Grip, to me, is essential when I shoot on the street. It gives me better stability and quicker framing (because I can move my hand much faster without the camera slipping off or have to worry about dropping the camera--yes I am using a wrist strap. Neck strap is too restricting and draws too much attention (as a tourist, even if you're not).
Just my 2-cents.
Pvt. Kyle Goddand, a Soldier assigned to Sustainment Task Force-16, 21st Theater Sustainment Command, helps a Soldier from the 108th Air Defense Artillery Brigade process through the passenger terminal here at Mihail Kogalniceani Air Base, March 19. The MK Air Base Passenger Transit Center, which officially began running at full capacity March 1, is designed to move U.S. service members into and out of the Operation Enduring Freedom theater. The center is replacing the U.S. transit facility at Manas Air Base in Kyrgyzstan as the contract between the U.S. and Kyrgyzstan ends this summer. The Romanian air base has been operational, and the 21st has engaged in multi-modal transportation support there, for many years. But it was not configured to support the new transit center mission, which requires moving the thousands of troops and thousands of tons of cargo and supplies that accompanies the drawdown in Afghanistan.

Diagram exemplifying eutrophication in coastal water bodies. The process begins with excessive inputs of nutrients (primarily N and P) into the system. These nutrients lead to a substantial increase in primary production (e.g. macroalgae) which eventually results in the transport of vast amounts of organic material to the seabottom. Subsequently, oxygen consumption increases dramatically as organic material starts to decompose while vertical delivery of oxygen through the water column is restricted by thermal and/or saline stratification (i.e. pycnocline). Bottom-dwelling organisms suffocate and/or migrate to other areas.

Indiana History Prints
I created my first Indiana History Prints in 2002. The early prints were digital collages based on authentic original antique postcards, advertisements, and other paper items. I have continued to make a few collage prints, but also began creating prints from a few individual postcards and advertisements. All of the prints have been based on items from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. That was the era when railroads already crisscrossed the state and provided the primary means of transporting passengers, freight and the mail. However, around the turn of the century, the interurban system arose and expanded rapidly. The interurban lines and the railroads were competing in some respects and, together, these two rail systems provided excellent service throughout much of the state. Their importance has been memorialized in hundreds of postcard scenes of trains, trolleys, bridges, stations and passengers. Then, just as the interurban system was becoming an integral part of Hoosiers’ lives, the automobile arrived and changed everything. Initially, it displaced the horse-drawn vehicles that were the primary means of local transportation. As roads were improved between communities to accommodate the automobiles, the interurban system began a fairly rapid decline followed by passenger service on the railroads. These changes were well documented by the photographers and postcard manufacturers and by the advertising from that era. The best examples of the postcards and photographs offer some amazing views of that era.
Personal and business communications were changing as well. The telephone was not yet widely available. The Post Office Department began selling the first postal cards at post offices in 1873, but businesses were the primary users. Picture postcards first appeared in Europe and eventually in the U.S. after the turn of the century. Those postcards quickly became a convenient method for personal communication, especially after the postal regulations changed in 1906 to allow messages on half of the back side of the postcard. The postcards were also collectible.
In those days, mail delivery within the state often took no more than a day. Post Office Department clerks processed some of the mail on specially designed rail cars as the trains traveled from one destination to the next. Several postcard scenes from that era show postal clerks standing on the railroad station platforms with mail pouches. A few postcards show the mail cars, but there are very few views of the interiors of those cars.
I am entirely responsible for the creation and production of the prints. They have been produced with care and each element used in the prints looks at least as good as the original. Each print is produced in very small quantities on 100% cotton rag watercolor paper (Hahnemühle Photo Rag®). The paper has a slight warm tone rather than being bright white, making it particularly suitable for printing historical objects. The prints will look good for decades, but need to be matted, framed and displayed behind glass to protect them from physical and environmental damage.
Print Description
1909 postmarked postcard view of Main Street in Milford, Indiana. The photographer was standing on the southeast corner at Emeline Street. He was looking northwest across that intersection. Several women and young girls were posing for the camera in the foreground while many other people had gathered in the background to celebrate a holiday or special event. Stands were set up along the street and several American flags were on display. Several businesses are identifiable in this scene.
For example, the brick building at the left edge of this scene was on the northwest corner at the Emeline Street intersection. The windows advertised B. C. STILWELL GENERAL MERCHANDISE. The MILFORD DRUG CO. store was located next door. The awning advertised DRUGS and JEWELRY. A sign on the front of the building advertised HINDO TOBACCO HABIT CURE. Free samples were available. The business north of the drugstore was a RESTAURANT. These business types are consistent with the information presented in the 1910 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Milford. That map set also shows a bank north of the restaurant, but that is not evident in this postcard scene.
The awnings north of the bank advertised a RESTAURANT and a DRY GOODS store, respectively. The 1910 map set shows a general store north of that restaurant, but that store also occupied the next building north, the building with the two bay windows. According to that map set, the next building north (with the small second-floor balcony) was the Milford Hotel. Another general store occupied the building north of the hotel. The small two-story wood frame building at the right edge of this scene was on the southwest corner at Catherine Street. It was vacant when the 1910 map set was being prepared.

Just scanned and edited this Ambrotype plate.
The ambrotype process is a photographic process that creates a positive photographic image on a sheet of glass using the wet plate collodion process. It was invented by Frederick Scott Archer in the early 1850s.

An update to my perlinParticle02 code: Now, rather than generating three buffer images for the x, y, and speed perlin values, it calculates them on the fly. This has the added advantage of being able to animate time, which you can see in the above movie. However, it's also exponentially slower. This movie took about a second a frame, or ten minutes on my 5 year old laptop.
