Studium

From the current edition of Technology Review.  Shot last fall in Philadelphia.

Had to access my macro chops.

For the image on the on the left (below), I didn’t have enough lens firepower to do the job properly, so I stuffed my lens up against the eyepiece of a jumbo-microscope and shot it that way. The ooky-looking shot of the actual surgery is not my handiwork.

Now you can make your Kindle or your iPad look like a book…

Stephen Ferry, up to his usual brilliance here.

It has been a while since I have had to manage negatives.

None of my labs print from them anymore.

I gave a print of this image to each of my Godchildren for Christmas this year.

This reminds me of Bilbo Baggins’ house.

You can see all the photos here.

I was about to enter these three fun photos into a Wired Magazine photo contest of photos with stripes, but then I read the fine print.

Why the total rights grab?

Bummer.
