Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum

Missed opportunity: Julius Popp created a waterfall installation entitled Bit.Fall to output words formed by droplet streams, fed from news pulled from the Internet. It was hosted in the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum in St. Louis, and this short documentary touches on his motivations. I’m irritated I was unaware of this and some other interesting exhibitions it accompanied last fall.

Bit.Fall has since moved on, but I’m marking my calendar for the Summer exhibitions (May 11 – July 16) to check out Ansel Adams: Reverence for Life. His photography alone is always amazing, but they also plan to screen two short films worth viewing.

Rant: Every web-site with a calendar of events should also serve a syndication feed with event markup so I stop missing the interesting things in my city.

Fun with Fake Tilt Shift Photography

Sean pointed out Christopher Phin’s Fake Model Photography tutorial that shows you how to transform a photo into what appears to be a macro shot of a miniature model. Turns out this meme has been out for a while, and there a few collections of the style.

Easily distracted today, I looked through the iPhoto collection I have locally and experimented with a few pictures. I like the one below best.

I’ll likely play with some more photos and upload those to flickr if they turn out interesting enough.

Imagery Feeds

Leave a reply

Today I came across the photobloggies site where they host an annual awards ceremony for photoblogging. I’ve done some photography, but don’t have near enough skill to regularly show off any work, and I don’t take enough pictures to get better. Someday if I obtain a more portable digital I may take photos more regularly, but for now, I settle for being a spectator while others capture and share their worlds.

I clicked through this year’s photobloggies category finalists and added the ones with XML feeds that included inline images to my imagery collection in my aggregator. I didn’t like excluding those feeds that simply linked to their work since they’re all quite good, but I can’t stand it when people do that.

I’ve attached the imagery OPML for my current collection so you to easily import some imagery into your feed aggregator if you wish. I figure the people I’d share it with will see this and know what to do with it.
