Marketing Campaign of the Day: This brilliant promotion for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra by photographer Bjoern Ewers shines a perspective-reexamining light on the interiors of musical instruments, which, incidentally, look like they would make rather amazing concert halls.

This is impressive. It would be even more impressive as a standalone mobile app (phone photos are so often blurry) but it looks like Photoshop might be doing a lot of work to get these results.
Also, having someone sit on stage during presentations is an interesting idea, the results of which seem to alternate between fun and tense. Especially when it’s Rainn Wilson.
The premise is simple: provide a platform where anyone can easily upload a photograph with two straightforward tags to provide context: Location and Year. If enough people upload enough photographs in enough places, together we will weave together a photographic history of the world (or at least any place covered by Google Maps). So wherever you are in the world, take a moment to upload a photograph and contribute to history!
Playing with Shake It Photo iPhone app. Photo from Denver Botanic Gardens. Really wish there were an option to turn off the shake-to-develop feature (never my favorite part of using a Polaroid). I’d also like to be able to turn off the frame from within the app, but turning on the Keep Original feature saves a frameless version in the photo library, while keeping the filter on the image.
Of course, there probably are other apps that offer a similar filter along with other effects, but paying $0.99 for this is a little like buying a cheap Lomo—not a lot of cash for some nice photographic chaos.
A new technology is used to “convert 60,000 aerial photographs of Stockholm” into a 3D world … a technique that “took less than 8 days (including the photography).”
Cool.
The post at this link discusses a Guardian article (you can get there from here) in which Bruce Schneier ponders the post-9/11 fear of photography (and therefore photogs). None of the major terrorist activities or threats over the last decade have involved photography—though it makes for a useful plot point in films. Is our storytelling nature getting in the way of reality (and sanity)?
In the comments, B. Durbin mentions the relationship of this story to mall security’s inexplicable fear of all things photo/video.
My mother-in-law was asked by an apparent security guard (I believe she said he was wearing a suit, and so may have been guarding something/someone other than the hotel itself) to stop taking photos in the lobby of a hotel at which she was staying last Christmas. She asked why she couldn’t take photos there, and he said she’d have to ask about it at the registration desk.
When she asked about it at the registration desk, the clerk didn’t have a clue what she was talking about and “gave her permission” to do whatever she wanted.
Kudos to the clerk. Brickbats to the “guard.”
Although … it does kind of make me want to put on a suit and an earpiece and see what liberties I can get people to give up in public places, simply because of how I’m dressed.
Last word to B. Durbin:
I’m personally of the opinion that at least half of the OH MY GOD YOU CAN’T TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS is a simple power trip, security forces for whatever group deciding they can Stop the Horrible Photographers …
