Skyspace @ De Young Museum - Spherical Image shot with Ricoh THETA
Pretty cool installation that is peaceful and tranquil when quiet, but loud and obnoxious when any amount of noise is present.
Coca Cola Friendly Twist
NFC technology can be used this way as well in a meet-up type app. Someone should do it.
Google's Newest Self Driving Car
Bring it on, I can't wait. No matter what, its going to make us all safer on the freeway as long as you're willing to give up a bit of privacy and a lot of control. I'd give it another 10 years before we see a meaningful portion of the cars on the road having an auto-pilot option.
360cam Finally Coming in November
Because the only thing out on the market right now is the Theta 360 and it doesn't do video.

Tips on Street Portraiture with Glynn Lavender
Glynn gave some interesting advice on street photography and portraiture at the Big Photo Show in LA. What stood out to me from the get go, (besides his Australian accent), was that he advocated for the BIG LENS where necessary to get the shot. Everywhere else I hear people wanting to blend in, never have I heard someone talk about carrying a huge telephoto.
So I sat in on the session, and he had some really good tips.
Glynn's 7 Steps to Street Portraiture (shooting people you don't know)
- Find great light. Be a seeker of light.
- Be more than a person with a camera. Communicate.
- You need to be courageous.
- Complete understanding of your gear.
- Lens choice is everything! Zoom lenses are not for zooming, use your feet instead. About viewpoint, perspective, compression and depth.
- Write with light, shape with shadows.
- Ability to work fast, people won't wait. Ability to run fast can help too.
- Honor your side of the connection. Pay it forward.
- No, doesn't always mean no.
- Forget composition, focus on vision.
