GPS route tracking with a phone / 2
Originally uploaded by clickykbd
Here is a test route I did with the tracking software and the N82. No photos this time so look forward to trying that integration, but biked from home to take my IATSE journeyman's test at the AFL-CIO building in Austin. See the previous description for more details about what this is all about. Watch my profile for future experiments with this stuff.

GPS route tracking with a phone / 1
Originally uploaded by clickykbd
In a strange twist of fates, I am participating in a crazy travel project sponsored by Nokia NSeries/WOMWorld, and being a beta-user of their N82 GPS enabled phone and tracking software (trip starts late Feb.). This is a screenshot of my profile on the tracking web app. Once the trip starts anyone can track my progress and view photos I take along the way through my profile on this portal (among other places I'll be posting media). More news about this project later.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Creativity of Camera Tossing
A participation based workshop on kinetic photography, the notorious Camera Toss technique, and the general creative process and thinking. Hosted by Ryan Gallagher, facilitated by Lorenzo "Lugo" Guasti for the Festival della Creativita (Florence Italy Oct 25th-28th).
DESCRIPTION (l'Italiano)
Camera Toss
con Ryan Gallagher of kineticphotography.net and cameratoss.blogspot.com
Ryan Gallgher è uno dei più famosi fotografi al mondo per quanto riguarda la fotografia cinetica e la fotografia derivata dal lancio della macchina fotografica (camera toss). Ha un sito personale e un blog molto frequentato e contenente centinaia di fantastiche foto fatte con questa tecnica. Grazia alla collaborazione tra Ryan e Lorenzo “logu” Guasti, direttore di Digiarte, si è concretizzata la possibilità di inviare Ryan a Firenze per un Workshop dove ci possa spiegare le sue tecniche. Il Festival della Creatività è senz’altro la location migliore per un evento del genere dal momento che l’attività di Ryan nasce da un istinto creativo indiscutibile: chi di noi si sognerebbe di lanciare la macchina fotografica per vederne il risultato? Pochi..
Saranno organizzati uno/due workshop all’interno del Festival per circa 20 persone a sessione.
E’ necessario che gli iscritti portino la loro macchina fotografica digitale compatta (Ryan assicura che non si romperà) e se possibile il loro portatile per eseguire la post-produzione con Photoshop o un altro programma di foto ritocco.
Il workshop è dunque destinato a persone che abbiano già una certa dimestichezza con la fotografia e con il computer. Nel caso di soprannumero saranno fatte delle selezione per decidere chi potrà partecipare agli eventi.

Although the motivations and ultimate direction of the ban are unclear, the immediate result is amazing! A city nearly as large as New York with next to no outdoor advertising. Considering it's also a city I know to be famous for it's art, music, street art, graffiti, designers, and new media folks... sounds like heaven to me. read more
