Measuring Infinity-Jose de Rivera Today marks the first anniversary of my little blog and I would just like to say it’s been a pleasure to work on it. I hope you’ve enjoyed it and the more than 300 original photos I’ve put up thus far.  Please feel free to send me an email or browse the growing archives.

Sprouting Plant

 Posted on June 20, 2009|No Comments on Sprouting Plant

sprouting-plant Over this past week I purchased some plants for my room, which unsurprisingly have become the subject for some photographs. I got a big collection of Mother-in-Law’s Tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata) and split them into a number of pots.  I was inspired after seeing a TED Talk of fresh air and hopefully the plants will make hospitable roommates.

Obama on Memorial Day

obama-memorialday Yesterday, I had the distinct honor of seeing President Obama speak at the Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day. It was a moving experience and I got to sit about 40 feet from Barack. The next few days will be images from that event.

Playing with Tilt-Shift Focus

 Posted on March 18, 2009|No Comments on Playing with Tilt-Shift Focus

tilt-shift-crowds Tilt shift photography usually involves an expensive lens that enables the camera to “tilt” the focus to create a tiny depth of field. It is often creates an artificial perception of miniturization, for example this photo from last year’s Tour de France. I’ve always enjoyed these images, but the resources have always been out of reach.  I’ve been playing around in photoshop and have found I can greatly improve bland images by artifically narrowing the focus.  Going through my archives, I’m hopefully going to dedicate the next week to tilt-shift images.
