Pipelining

Francesco just asked me if I have a new series in the pipeline. The answer is yes. But there is only a single pipeline and it has to be totally empty before I stuff in new pictures. The time till a whole series went through takes about a month depending on my motivation and inspiration - you do the math Franz :-P

*yawn*

Good "morning" everybody. Isn't that a beautiful day? What I need now is my skateboard, my camera and I need to get on the streets of New York. Let's have some fun time...

2 BOSTON 6

...was a lot of fun.
I don't wanna go too far off topic, but SIGGRAPH is really a special conference. Many outstanding computer science presentations, computer animation and a lot of other interesting things. I attended a course called "The Art of Story Telling" by some Hollywood script writer (just for the fun of it) and enjoyed a course by Stephen Burns, who masters the art of teaching Photoshop pretty well.
My personal highlight of the computer science part was a crowd simulation presented by a group of the university of Washington. I recommend to go on their website and watch the demo video. It's really cool. Those algorithms will be integrated in future video games by Electronic Arts.
To come back "on topic", here are two pics of Boston. I'm very happy with the first one, which was a hopeless shot against the sun which led to underexposed buildings. I guess, this is the first time I'm using HDRI the way it's supposed to be used. I know many people don't, but I like this little unreal look. I should do that more often.
I have some more street photographs as well, but I will keep hiding them for a future black & white series :-P

Boston

I'm leaving for Boston in a few minutes. I have the pleasure to present some work of of mine at SIGGRAPH. SIGGRAPH is all about computer graphics, interactivity and the computer science of the entertainment industry. I will be there for about a week and believe that this will contribute to the photographic part of my life as well. Not only that researchers will present interesting results on the theoretic side of digital photography, the city of Boston is quite photogenic, too. Let's see if I can find time to torture my camera.
