Photo of a Man on Sunset Drive: 1914, 2008
by: Richard Blanco
And so it began: the earth torn, split open
by a dirt road cutting through palmettos
and wild tamarind trees defending the land
against the sun. Beside the road, a shack
leaning into the wind, on the wooden porch,
crates of avocados and limes, white chickens
pecking at the floor boards, and a man
under the shadow of his straw hat, staring
into the camera in 1914. He doesn't know
within a lifetime the unclaimed land behind
him will be cleared of scrub and sawgrass,
the soil will be turned, made to give back
what the farmers wish, their lonely houses
will stand acres apart from one another,
jailed behind the boughs of their orchards.
He'll never buy sugar at the general store,
mail love letters at the post office, or take
a train at the depot of the town that will rise
out of hundred-million years of coral rock
on promises of paradise. He'll never ride
a Model-T puttering down the dirt road
that will be paved over, stretch farther and
farther west into the horizon, reaching for
the setting sun after which it will be named.
He can't even begin to imagine the shadows
of buildings rising taller than the palm trees,
the street lights glowing like counterfeit stars
dotting the sky above the road, the thousands
who will take the road everyday, who'll also
call this place home less than a hundred years
after the photograph of him hanging today
in City Hall as testament. He'll never meet
me, the engineer hired to transform the road
again, bring back tree shadows and birdsongs,
build another promise of another paradise
meant to last another forever. He'll never see
me, the poet standing before him, trying
to read his mind across time, wondering if
he was thinking what I'm today, both of us
looking down the road that will stretch on
for years after I too disappear into a photo.

Visualizing the BP Oil Spill Disaster
IfItWasMyHome.com is a website that overlays the BP oil spill on a map centered on your town.
An explosion on the BP operated Deepwater Horizon oil rig killed eleven crew members on April 20, 2010 sparking the greatest environmental disaster in United States history.
Oil continues to being discharged from the broken well at above 1,050,000 US gallons per day.
Obviously, I love this hobby, so these machines are an important part of how I identify myself.
I have taken the ZX-L all over the US, to Paris, France, and across the entirety of Costa Rica. At that point in my life, it was just a camera. I wish I had had the passion and interest in photography at that time. Can't imagine the kinds of wonderful pictures I could have made! C'est la vie.

Notes
Social networks analysis and visualization is becoming more and more important, due to the development of onlince communities on the Web, but also to the increase of security-related threats such qs terrorist attacks and epidemic speads. Visualizing large or dense social networks is simply not possible using current node-link diagram representations. We have shown that the matrix representation was a good alternative to node-link diagrams. However, it has not received as much attention as node-link diagrams in the past and the research community needs to design good navigation and layout methods to improve it. We have worked in that direction and proposed two enhancements to Matrix Visualization: better reordering algorithms to show the overall structure of a network and synchronized views of node-link diagrams and matrices to get the benefit of both representations [19]. We have also started working on hybrid representations using links overlaid on top of a matrix (Fig. 10). We have shown that this representation improved the performance the matrix representation for tasks related to path-finding. We have also worked with international researchers to improve evaluation methods of network visualization systems by proposing a taxonomy of network-related tasks
Draft of infographics that's probably going to published sometime next month.
