Links for breakfast

Yes, that timestamp is right, I am writing this at 4 in the morning from the Best Western as I polish a paper. I know, I thought I already graduated also. After getting another cup of day old coffee I ran across these two links.

Wired has an article about a new sensor that is Two-thousand times more sensitive than current models. With the mega-pixel race almost over the next frontier could be low light capability. When I can shoot at 12800 ISO and it looks like today’s 400 ISO that will be a true breakthrough, eliminating one of the perpetual trade-offs that photographers must make between quality, shutterspeed and aperture. Of course this is the third such article I’ve read in the past few years and we haven’t seen any dramatic change in our cameras, but it will arrive eventually.

    David, you are a gifted young man. I have just finished going over your site (I think I found it via a link from a story about the American Diversity Project) and your work is phenominal.

    It is safe to say that you have found that which you should be doing, if your heart agrees. The particulars will come in due time.

    David, your vision gives my vision the tingles. Our visions should hang out and talk about humanity, or whatever it is visions talk about.

    That “approach” essay you’ve started is sweet, especially that image of the kid on the bball hoop. It made me wet.
