A Short List Of Realizations From Tonight’s Photo Sorting/editing Session:
A short list of realizations from tonight’s photo sorting/editing session:
I have taken a truly astonishing number of photos of hockey players making ridiculous faces.
Over half of these involve tongues. So many that I literally made a Lightroom tag called ‘put that thing back in your mouth’.
Evidence points to the Carolina Hurricanes system requiring players to stick said tongue out when making a shot.
We could probably power Canada with Jeff Skinner’s grin. Someone should get on that.

A little girl in my 4th grade class came up to me after recess and said, “I got married at recess!” and I said “Oh? I didn’t know anyone was ordained under the age of twelve.” and she asked me what ordained meant and I explained and then she said “Oh, well, no, my wife and I were married by the slide, but we’ll be happy together anyway.”
So apparently on school playgrounds, slides are already legalizing same-sex marriage.

Hidden Portraits: Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla was an inventor, engineer, physicist and futurist. He arrived in the U.S. in 1884 and quickly catapulted his career by working with Thomas Edison, creating more than 700 patents and making major breakthroughs in modern alternating current (AC) electricity.
He’s featured in the Art with Watson series, Hidden Portraits. 15 artists teamed up with Watson to discover and illuminate the unknown essence of seven of history’s greatest thinkers using data.
What Watson thinks: Watson’s analysis of Tesla’s works revealed a new side of the famed inventor – as an artist at heart.
About the artwork: The Artist Inside was inspired by Tesla’s conflicted, dual personas: the scientist and the artist. The mirrored cube represents Tesla’s mind, with the inner electric grid representing his fame as a well-known scientist. The generative art that come alive inside the cube speaks to Tesla’s lesser-known artistic side, uncovered with Watson.

Con is over and I’m finally back at home recuperating. Sorting through photos was a good way to keep myself occupied in line, but I’ve still got a few hundred more shots to weed through. So far my ECCC folder has about a thousand images in it so this may be a little while.
Photos to be posted include… Tyler Hoechlin Amanda Tapping Jewel Staite Marina Sirtis Anthony Mackie Clark Gregg Orlando Jones
…along with a few shots of our fantastic moderators for the weekend, Grant Imahara and Clare Kramer throughout these sets.
I’ll be putting everything up on flickr first, but will also be posting selected ones here, so keep an eye out!
