I decided to try a full photo workflow on my phone since my computer is unavailable at the moment. Precision cropping is very difficult with my fat finger technique. Other than that, I'm pleasantly surprised by the range of functionality in the Adobe Lightroom Mobile app.

The 1909-1912 on Michael's place built Looshaus in the first District of Vienna represents the main work of Adolf Loos. It is his first, most important and largest executed urban construction. The building characterizing both the rejection of historicism as well as of Secession decor, is a central main opus of Viennese modernism, the building site opposite the Hofburg securing the construction from begin on a special attention.
Prehistory
In April 1909 acquired the owner of the men's tailor saloon Goldman & Salatsch, Leopold Goldman and Emanuel Aufricht the "Three Laufer house (Dreilauferhaus)" (built in 1797) at St. Michael's Square. The competition for a new building in May 1909 brought no satisfactory result, Loos did not attend - he probably acted as a juror. Shortly after Loos was charged with the manufacture of appropriate construction plans. The Einreichplan (construction permit plan) of Loos shows the probably never for realization thought stucco facade. Loos and the builders had the building in the then modern reinforced concrete technology carried out.
Scandal
After its completion, provoked the "nakedness" of the facades in the by historicist taste marked Viennese a shock, which led to an official building freeze. Because of the lack of the then usual window roofings the Viennese called the construction "house without eyebrows". After a one-year argument with the authorities and large sections of the public, Loos as a compromise had attached to the facades flower boxes, wherefore finally in May 1912 was issued the offical authorisation of the magistrate.
Interior Design
In Business Office Loos differentiated severly between official sales areas and only for staff accessible work areas. In the sales area exclusively valuable materials such as root mahogany, oak floors, brass and mirrors were used. This created a comforting, homely club atmosphere. More sober retained was only the winter sports department in the basement. Cool, sober mood dominated the work areas with its almost Spartan material choice. White lacquered iron rods, wood stone floors, green enameled lamps and white plastered wall surfaces characterized here the character of functionally according to workflows arranged rooms.
Models
Loos had already designed several restaurants. The here gained experiences have been taken into account in the design of the house on St. Michael's Place (jewelry store Hugo and Alfred Spitz, men's fashion salon Goldman & Salatsch Am Graben/Naglergasse, decorative plumes business Sigmund Steiner). But there were also older Viennese department stores (department store Neumann by Otto Wagner, department store of the carpet company Philipp Haas and sons of Eduard van der Nüll and August Siccard of Siccardsburg ), classical Viennese buildings (porch of St. Michael's Church by Antonio Beduzzi, Palais Fries-Pallavicini by Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg) and early Chicago skyscrapers (Rookery Building by Daniel Hudson Burnham and Wellborn Root) that inspired Loos.
Capricious History
After the company Goldman & Salatsch in 1925/26 came into a compromise, the house in the following decades changed repeatedly the owner (from 1928. Dutch owners; 1934: Building Construction and Civil Engineering AG, from 1968: Cooperative Central Bank, from 1987: Raiffeisenbank Wien). In the former premises of the men's fashion salons also, whose ground floor and mezzanine areas were temporarily separated by conversions, there were many different uses (Autohaus Opel & Beyschlag, fashion house Prodinger, Reithoffer rubber products, furniture store "The new space", Cooperative Central Bank, Dusika Sports).
Restoration
After the purchase by Raiffeisen the structural jewel until 1989 was subjected to a comprehensive, widely appreciated and internationally acclaimed renovation. The with the restoration commissioned architect Burkhardt Rukschcio also meticulously set back the heart of the home, the sales area, in its original state. Since then, the premises are used of the Raiffeisen bank in Vienna as a branch.

My Digital Tools for Photographers seminar tour (presented by Apple) kicked off today with a stop at the Henry's School of Imaging. More than 35 people attended the three hour session, which showcased Macintosh hardware and software, including Aperture 1.1, the new professional photo workflow software from Apple. Another session is scheduled at the Henry's school tomorrow, April 26, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm.
More seminars are also scheduled throughout Toronto and southern Ontario for May and June. Admission is free but pre-registration is required. Check seminars.apple.com for dates and locations.
Some useful links from today's seminar:
Apple Aperture professional photo workflow software and iLife '06 portfolio tools.

In the coming weeks I will post some of the seminar content in the flickrfotoforum for flickr friends who can't make it to one of the live seminars, and answer questions about digital workflow in this thread. So ask way!
So this is actually kind of fun I guess. This is my C41, color film workflow so far. It's been a bit of trial and error trying to maintain a consistent 102F for 3.5 min.
This is how I do it so far. Put water in this pot just enough to cover the 250ml of liquids in the measuring cups. Put pot on stove with flame on high to get a good rolling boil. Once it gets boiling, reduce flame to medium. When the temp in cups gets to about 95F, turn off heat otherwise the temp gets too hot and it takes longer to cool off than to heat up. Remove cups from water when they reach 102F. First step is just water for 1 min to heat up film and tank. This helps maintain temp for developer. 2nd, developer for 3.5 min. Developer will cool to about 95F in that amount of time which isn't good. So I put the tank in the water pot in between agitations. Keeps the temp from falling too fast. 3rd step is the bleach/ fix (blix) for 6.5 min. The good thing is that you can be between 95 and 105F for this step. 4th is wash for 1 min followed by stabilizer for 1.5 min. Done!
Also, I have always used Kodak black and white developers like HC110, D76 and Xtol for b&w film. To shake things up a bit and keep it interesting, I got some Rodinal. Never used it before and still haven't. Good times. This is definitely a labor of love.
Update: Roll number 3 following this method turned out some funky greenish colors on Portra 160. Not sure why. I'll keep this photo updated.
This view shows the various stages of my scenery building. Cardboard strips fill in the space between fascia, track, and backdrop. These strips are covered with drywall tape, which I then paint tinted plaster of paris over. After a couple of coats, or however many I think are needed, static grass and other foliage is added.
I got inspired into some intense nerding this week. The above is a peek into the results. For more, check out the writeup on my blog.
Capsule summary: you can make an image have pretty much any histogram you like, with a little perl code—even a histogram that resembles the image itself. What you see here is:
1. An unaltered image of Miami.
2. The histogram of that image.
3. A new desired histogram made by tracing the silhouette of the skyline in the source image.
4. An altered version of the source image, which has the desired histogram.
Man was that fun to pull off.
When a physician sees a person with 10 or 20 medications and they need to do renewals that will be expiring before the next visit, I can take some mental effort to get it alright and avoid unnecessary phone calls asking for renewals prior to the next visit.
These are fairly typical steps in the process of doing that renewal review and completion.
Le Suquet is the old quarter of Cannes, probably best known to tourists as the climbing, winding cobbled lane lined with local restaurants, Rue St Antoine. Le Suquet contains a clock tower and church that sit high facing east overlooking the Bay of Cannes and Cannes itself. At the bottom of Le Suquet on Rue Dr. P. Gazagnaire is the Marché Forville, where the market is held in the mornings and early afternoon.
This area is the original fishermans' residential area of Cannes. The houses are all very old. The streets were laid out at least 400 years ago. It is a 5-minute walk from the beach and is full of restaurants around the Rue Saint Antoine and the Rue du Suquet. A lot of the area is pedestrianised and is a major tourist attraction for visitors to Cannes.
The rue du Suquet is the original main road into Cannes. It came in below the walls of the castle (for defence reasons). It is a pedestrian street again and has plenty of restaurants [Wikipedia.org]
Take a breath & pause, press the shutter, work on it some more & post it, hope that people see what you see #passion #skill #hardworkpaysoff
Here is the Workflow to get the Matcap Material from zBrush to mental Ray material:
norman3d.com/blog/?p=11#more-11
Thanks Norman, I've max 2010 and it's a little bit easier:
- Screenshot from your Zbrush Material, crop and save it.
- from he Norman's tutorial:
"Change the “Default Scanline Renderer” to mentalray. Open the Material Editor and pick a default material. Change the Self Illumination value to 100. Now you can click on the diffuse slot and pick the “mr Gray Ball” map. In the “Gray Ball Image” slot you will have to put the Shading Map you grabbed earlier."
The part with *.mi file can be ignore in 2010. The correct/actual name i have for the "Gray ball Image map" is "Environment Probe/Gray Ball (mi)". For this example I didn't use a standard material but a Arch&Design material with a normal map. It works fine.
