02.29Blogging from MIX08!
I will be blogging from MIX08 in Las Vegas all next week. This is my first MIX. Really looking forward to it!
12.23Seattle 360
From the observation deck of the needle, I did a quick experiment: creating a 360-degree panorama for later stitching. Visibility was good (for Seattle) but overcast. Adjusted my zoom to get a good vertical angle of view, then experimentally determined that 12 paces resulted in optimum horizonal overlap. This resulted in 10 handheld shots around [...]
12.23Fremont Troll
Earlier today, drove by this quite famous troll which sits under a bridge in funky Fremont, north of Seattle. Zoom in to see the vintage VW Bug under his claw.

Thinking about carving an abstract torso “plant stand” into the large block of Crema Español (a particularly attractive variety of marble from Spain) I’ve been holding on to for a [...]

Initially (and for the forseeable future) this will be little more than a personal journal where I track and record thoughts and ideas for which I have some greater-than-passing interest. It is mainly for myself (a journal more than a blog) but also a means of [...]
