  • Fujifilm patents hybrid organic/CMOS sensor

    Fujifilm.png

    Fujifilm’s innovative organic-hybrid sensor technology is interesting but may not offer a compelling advantage over existing designs, says sensor technologist Professor Eric Fossum. The company has recently been granted a patent for its work on a sensor that uses an organic (carbon-chemistry-based) material on top of silicon circuitry. Speculation about Fujifilm’s forthcoming mirrorless camera has latched onto a technical paper the company published in late 2009, but both Fossum and the company say the work shows more promise for small-scale sensors.

    These appliances and objects are normally situated behind the scenes of a performance or show. The machines often look like medieval instruments (of torture). At the same time, they are often high-technological objects, that fulfil complex functions. They form a large contrast with the extreme esthetical images that they produce.

    The overview of machines by Kris Verdonck addresses the field of tension between man and machine in today’s society. What relationship can/must/do people want to enter into with technology? How difficult is the balancing act between human control and submission to machines?

  • Racetrack Star Trails, Death Valley

    The surreal scenery of Death Valley offers some great photo opportunities, but no more so than at night. During a new moon the skies above Death Valley unveil every star in the sky. It’s really breathtaking to see how many stars can be seen less any light pollution. The sky lights up so much from the stars in fact my clients on this night kept asking me if I was sure that there were no other light sources. Truly an awe inspiring scene and one that translates well in star trails photos. I’m looking forward to returning here in February on my next Death Valley photo tour with a new group. I still have openings so consider yourself invited to join the fun.

  • darkly inspiring…

    If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don’t even start.

    This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs, and maybe your mind.

    It could mean not eating for three or four days.
    It could mean freezing on a park bench.
    It could mean jail. It could mean derision.
    It could mean mockery, isolation.

    Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance.
    Of how much you really want to do it.

    And you’ll do it, despite rejection in the worst odds.
    And it will be better than anything else you can imagine.

    If you’re going to try, go all the way.

    There is no other feeling like that.
    You will be alone with the gods. And the nights will flame with fire.

    You will ride life straight to perfect laughter.

    It’s the only good fight there is.

    Henry Charles Bukowski
    1920 – 1994
