Can't you set Aperture to not manage your library? I know some people use Aperture that way and have access to the folders and what not where the files are located. I think it's kind of like how you can set iTunes to manage your files and put them in it's file system or just tell the program where your files are on disk.

It's the metadata, ratings, etc. that's locked up not the actual image files. Kind of like if iTunes kept your ID3 tags hostage.

Well that sucks. I switched to Aperture when I got my first Mac last year and now I'm thinking about switching back. One of the big reasons I switched was that LR at the time didn't allow for filters, I guess they do now?

Hey brad, would it be :filez: if I linked to a ZIP file of all the articles available online from that reading list? It's all linked from the reading list, but it's more convenient if it's all in one place.

Cool, here it is. I took the stuff that was on webpages and copied it into separate RTF documents, leaving the original URL at the top. There's also another RTF document listing the stuff that weren't available online, I added ISBN-10 numbers for quicker look-up on Amazon/Half/your library's webpage, pretty sure I got all of them. I cross-checked that list with my university library and they have all but one of those remaining books :cool:

That guy is a goddamn moron. If I didn't know the backstory I wouldn't have taken a second glance at those photos. Maybe it's because I'm more of a rally guy myself, but there's no reason for this idiot to risk his life like that. I have a lot of respect for the bullet-dodging documentary guys, but the line is drawn before standing where a race car can hit you.

David Attenborough calls this scene "one of the most complex ever attempted in natural history filmmaking":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCyoqaM_4sM

From Wikipedia, "BBC Life":

quote:

The biggest filming challenge was to show a year in the life of an oak woodland using timelapse photography. After capturing real-world footage of a Devon wood, the crew rebuilt the entire scene in a studio in Exeter and digitally superimposed 96 separate layers of footage to create the final one-minute sequence. The whole project took two years.

I spotted a D200, a D2x, and some kind of manual-focus lens in there.

I like how meticulous it was, but also how homegrown(pun intended) the solution was. I saw a bicycle wheel as a pulley, and the lens had some kind of put together flare hood from gaff tape.

vide compositing techniques are amazing. I just saw this on chase jarvis's blog, I had absolutely no idea how far green screening had come. The scene at the end of this video with Hiro blew my mind, I saw that live and never once thought it wasnt filmed in time square.

70-year-old photographer makes a living shooting Polaroids in what are surely the most digital-camera-dense areas in the world.

quote:

Mr. Mendes plans to work the Rockefeller tree until Jan. 7, when it is scheduled to be taken down and turned to mulch. Then he will return to the sidewalk outside BH Photo or Adorama Camera. Taking pictures of people who already own cameras makes perfect sense to him, the guy with instant film and a classic rig in a sea of digital snappers.

“Most photographers don’t have a good picture of themselves,” he explained. “They think nobody can take as good a picture as they can. So, I prove them wrong. There’s good money there.”

That is really cool. If you're gonna get a tourist photo anyways, you might as well get one that will look awesome.

I know somebody who had a portrait done with one of the old school super large polaroids (like 3x6 feet large) hanging on their wall. Just imagine how big that camera must have been.

That's very cool and just a tad crazy but still awesome. I didn't know Polaroids could look that clean and sharp.

Speaking of Polaroids, I saw the craziest thing on the bulletin board at work outside of the cafeteria. It was a hand written advertisement for a used truck with a taped on Polaroid image of said truck. You'd think working for NASA and launching the most complex machine ever built into space, we wouldn't be staffed by so many luddites.

I love the double-exposures, that's really creative. I'm going to have to cut a darkslide up and give that a try.

I've been wanting to do a working holiday for the longest time, and I was actually thinking of doing something similar to busk in the evenings since I can't sing or play any kind of instrument.

My Speed Graphic is on its way, incidentally :hellyeah:

I got a free sample pack from moo, and am planning on ordering a 100-pack in the near future. The stock is pretty thick and seems like it's good quality, and it lets you show off your work at the same time. The people I've shown them to have been really impressed.

Kinda steep, unless it has a special lens or a bunch of accessories. You can probably grab one for under $150 on eBay if you're patient. I didn't know anyone else was looking for one, I sold mine on RFF for $120 last weekend (it had a weird back and slow speeds on the shutter needed CLA).

I love my moo cards. The plastic holder is pretty slick, most people find it unique and making an impression is what you're going for. I've got some 10% off codes that came with my last pack if you need them.
