Giga vu pro evolution
Rob Galbraith's description of the Giga vu pro evolution sounds very interesting. Most exciting are the ftp/wireless features in the device. Looks like the Epson P-4000 has finally competition.

Wow - ashesandsnow.org
George Colberts photos at http://www.ashesandsnow.org are absolutely mesmerizing. If you have some time hop on over and be amazed. And if you happen to be in the Santa Monica area you may want to stop by the Nomadic Museum until May 14, 2006 where his photos are on exhibition. [ via my wife at Manitou Galleries. ]

Very creative use of tilt-shift lenses
Without reading the article first, go to http://www.metropolismag.com/cda/story.php?artid=1760 and take a look at the photos. Now tell me whether you're seeing photographs of model-scenes or if you see real-world views. Awesome use of tilt-shift lenses. [via http://www.boingboing.net]

Light Field Photography - no more blurry photos
I read about this at www.spiegel.de today and thought it would be useful to reference here. Ren Ng at Stanford Univeristy writes in his paper titled Light Field Photography with a Hand-Held Plenoptic Camera about a "camera that samples the 4D light field on its sensor in a single photographic exposure". The result is a photograph that can be "sharpened" at different depths after the photograph has been taken. Ren has quite a number of sample movies on his web site that show the effect of moving the focusing plane. I like the Water (link to .wmv file) in particular.
Is that going to make "Unsharp Mask" in Photoshop obsolete?
