Morell – Camera Obscura

Posted on September 12th, 2009 • Filed under Uncategorized • 1 Comment

Here’s another small, but fascinating set of Camera Obscura images, this time from photographer Abelardo Morell. Some beautiful landscapes, made to be intimate by bringing them inside, others more of a nod to Camera Obscura as the origin of photography.

Chameleon Guitar from MIT Labs

Check out the Chameleon Guitar, developed at the MIT Media Lab. They’ve made an effort to combine acoustic qualities and digital capabilities. Very cool. You can view the MIT Lab Cast video for an introduction to the concept, or jump over to Ars Electronica 2009 for more plus lots of other cool stuff.

Lets Take the High Line

Posted on September 6th, 2009 • Filed under Uncategorized • No Comments

The High Line is just around the corner from our offices, currently located in the Chelsea Market, and I finally made my way there for a walking tour. I shot a few photos while I was there but these pics from the High Line Flickr Pool provide a little more variety – but what’s up with the copyright on all these pics from the Flickr Pool. None of them have a Creative Commons license. None!

There’s more going on besides a walk on the High Line. Check out highline.org for events happening in and around the park.
