I should have posted this a week ago, but as I state in every post, I'm too busy for my own good, and too lazy the rest of the time. This is pretty much straight stolen from Kris, with some additional commentary by yours truly.
This weekend is BarCamp Vancouver and I'll be heading up a PhotoWalk on Friday night and a PhotoCamp on Saturday. Here's some shots from last years late night photowalk at BarCamp.
PhotoCamp itself is a mix of presentations and open discussion on a number of topics, mostly chose on the fly. I believe this is the 5th in the series of them, and the 3rd that I will be taking part of. Previous editions have seen a healthy mix of areas from photographic technique, digital workflow, practicalities of preparing images for display, and more abstract technical concepts.
I'll be giving a 15 minute or so talk again this time around. I'll be giving a short presentation of some of the assumptions that people have made on how photographs are taken, and how these assumptions are no longer valid when moving into digital photography. Then, given these new possibilities, I'll discuss some possibilities of how this can influence new directions in photography and give some simple examples of how this is starting to work its way into software. This time around, I promise it'll be much more practical knowledge, and I'll even have a demo to prove it.
If you're interested in photography, cameras, or just want to take a cool walk through East Van... it would be great to see lots of you out there. Here's the details. Get in touch if you have any questions.
Sadly, I don't think I'll be making the photowalk, as I'm going to see Tipper, who is quite possibly my favorite musician, play instead. Last years was good fun. You should go, even if you won't get to see me.
