This is one of the smartest examples of what it is like to be in the commercial photography business. Now I want to be the client! The only thing missing here is some banter about rights and usage. “Yes I want this video but I need to be able to see all of the others for no additional fee. You gotta work with me here!”

I am going to be on line at my local camera story to get me one of these. A must for anyone into photo tech!

My friend George Anderson sent this to me from this smithsonian blog. It is right on the mark. I do have to say that my head is still partly stuck in the “don’t let it out the door mentality”. What do you think?
This is the result of my http://nexus.ludios.net/ Nexus Friend Grapher from Facebook. I am a sucker for a good graph. Go on Friend Me, be part of my Graph. I know you want to…
I always enjoy James Howard Kunstler. Take the 19 minutes out of your day, it is worth it. More about James here. Or read one or all of his books. You won’t regret it.
I have booked my tickets… you? Don’t forget about eye tattoos as well, for feelunique.com. Great advertising space.

This was fun to watch. I have always had a hard time watching the NYTimes television ads. They should think out of the box a little. Not to mention the model that was in one of their ads about 10 years ago. They were appalled to see that ad run on TV for about 2-3 years. No one else wanted to heir her because her face was so saturated being identified with the NYTimes.

I was always impressed by what I found to be a very together photo magazine and internet product. It is suprising that a title or website that speaks to such a broad audiance can not survive. It is not like they were just speaking to Pros. It was more of a mass market site. Go figure, oh we are in a recession right? or is it a depression?
This is a detail of the larger image, belive it or not. How is it done? 
The Gigapan mount above, read on from the Gigapan website.
We are beta-testing prototypes of the Gigapan robotic mount, which attaches to your small digital camera to create a fast and easy-to-use high-resolution panorama capture device. We are growing the beta process and are negotiating concerning general release and sales of the Gigapan camera. You will be able to purchase these low-cost robotic mounts and take several hundred or thousand images at a time to create panoramas with one billion pixels and more.
You don’t need specialized GigaPan hardware to take your own panoramas. If you have lots of patience, a high-quality digital camera, and a good tripod (or very steady hand!) you can take hundreds or thousands of overlapping, zoomed-in pictures for a gigapixel-scale panorama, then use off-the-shelf stitching software to combine the images into one very high-resolution panorama for upload.

A blast from the past. I still remember almost all the words.
Can you save an aging American photographic film company? If you have hundreds of millions of dollars you can be the owner of a wonderful technology that has lived a wonderful life. You have the oppertunity to nurture this product into the old age home.
For a 5 minute history of the company and where it is now watch this video by photographer Michael Blanchard.
But seriously… I love Polaroid film. But, that said I have not used it for several years now. I do have friends that use it as a mainstay of their work. There is my friend Ellen Carey, she has used the Polaroid 20×24 camera for some wonderful work over the years. I don’t know what she and her fine art peers will do.
So what can you do if you don’t have the millions needed to save the company? Go to http://www.savepolaroid.com/ and send a letter in a campaign to get Fuji Film or Illford to license the Polaroid technology.
Even allowing for the culturally-ravaged, post-wardrobe-malfunction neo-fundamentalist, sexual dystopia we live in, the decision of Jordache to Photoshopically amputate Heidi Klum’s nipples is a profoundly bizarre one.
What were the possible logical processes that made this happen? Did they think no-one would notice? How could this make any sense? Unbelievable.

“Nothing grabs an audience’s attention more effectively than a clever optical illusion. Combine that with an ingenious ad campaign and you get this brilliant mobile billboard for The Red Cross, currently gracing the streets of San Francisco.
It’s photo journalism, meets Hollywood blockbuster movie poster, and it is turning plenty of heads wherever it parks itself. Enthusiastic onlookers have been snapping up photos of the mobile billboard and posting, uploading and sharing them online with friends. This is a brilliant example of how an audience can further promote the exposure of a great advertising campaign through mobile phones, blogs and sites such as flicker. ” quited from the coolhunter.net
The ad was created by Hal Rine.
