"How People Make Things" is an NSF funded traveling exhibition produced by the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh in collaboration with UPCLOSE http://upclose.lrdc.pitt.edu/ and Family Communications, the producers of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.
Through hands-on interactive exhibits, demonstrations, and factory tour videos, visitors can explore the basic processes in manufacturing used to make things - cutting, molding, deforming and assembly. |

The eleventh annual MMM invitational fund raising exhibition for the Koa Gallery.
This gigapan, and the others in the Koa Gallery set, show the limits of the Auto focus capability of the Canon S5-IS - it leaves a bit to be desired at close range, and when trying to focus on a blank wall. The stitcher still has some difficulty, too. |

Most of the art galleries in/near downtown Honolulu have simultaneous exhibit openings on "First Friday" of every month. These coordinated events also lure street musicians, jugglers, etc., along with many residents and tourists.
This gigapan was particularly challenging due to the inside/outside exposure effects, and especially the uncontrollable revelers attending the opening. ;^) |

One wall of an exhibit of my photoetchings. The exhibit shows the process of printing a 4-color photoetching using Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, and Black inks. This exhibit, that I called "The Anatomy of a Photoetching", came about as a way to show the process of photoetching to all the people who asked me how I made my images. |

An exhibition of local artists' work at the Walcot Mortuary Chapel. The work is by (left to right) Cat Sulzmann, Fiona Harron, Erin O'Connor and David Horton.
I am hoping the artists will add descriptions of their work in due course. I shot this using +/-2 bracketing and what you see is a tone-mapped gigapan. The original 0EV version is now private but can be seen here: http://tinyurl.com/m9rt3p. A different exhibition in the same place can be seen here: http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=19000. |

SeaWorld Orlando is one of the eight world class theme parks in Central Florida. Of all the parks, this is one of my favorites for a fun relaxing day in a beautifully landscaped area with all sorts of neat sea animal exhibits and shows. It also features a couple adrenaline rides like the coaster Kraken and the Journey to Atlantis water ride. The free beer samples at the Annhauser-Busch Hospitality House doesn't hurt either.
This shot was taken inside the "Penguin Encounter" at a very slow 1/13th of a second due to the low light conditions. This is one of my favorite places at SeaWorld, partly because watching the penguins and tourists is fun, but mostly because they keep the place ice cold for the penguins, making it the coolest place in the park on hot summer (and winter) days. It does stink a little bit, but not bad, and you do get used to it. This was taken with a Canon Powershot G9. I am not that happy with it, hoping for greater detail despite the slow shutter speed. It is possible that floor vibrations might account for the slight blur, but it was probably just a crummy focusing job on my part. |
