Countdown to Pluto Encounter! Strange Worlds by Matthew Albanese - #model #worlds #art. Strange Worlds by Matthew Albanese. My work involves the construction of small-scale meticulously detailed models using various materials and objects to create emotive landscapes.
Every aspect from the construction to the lighting of the final model is painstakingly pre-planned using methods which force the viewers perspective when photographed from a specific angle. Using a mixture of photographic techniques such as scale, depth of field, white balance and lighting I am able to drastically alter the appearance of my materials.

Why Advertising Is Failing On The Internet. Editor’s note: The following is a guest post by Eric Clemons, Professor of Operations and Information Management at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
In it, he argues that the Internet shatters all forms of advertising. “The problem is not the medium, the problem is the message, and the fact that it is not trusted, not wanted, and not needed,” he writes. The views he expresses are his own, and we present them here to foster debate. (Obviously, we hope there is a place for advertising on the Internet since it pays our bills). Update This post has obviously touched a nerve. 1. The expected drop in internet advertising revenues this year was neither unpredictable nor unpredicted, nor was it caused solely by the general recession and the decline in retail sales. Pushing a message at a potential customer when it has not been requested and when the consumer is in the midst of something else on the net, will fail as a major revenue source for most internet sites. 2. 3.
How not to use Twitter: HabitatUK as a case study. Studio Photography. Why go into the studio?
Studio photography is easy because you can get exactly what you want. Studio photography is hard because you can get exactly what you want. Soft light, hard light, hair light, background. Everything is under your control. If you are a tremendously creative person who knows how to use studio equipment, you'll get wonderful results. Rent or buy? Most big cities have good rental studios that come complete with lights, backgrounds, and often assistants. Ceiling or floor? Decide whether you want your studio to be floor-based or ceiling-based.
In a ceiling-based studio, you mount background rollers on the ceiling and a rail system that allow flexible positioning of lights anywhere within a rectangular area. The coolest part of any rail system is the pantograph light support. The Lights Decide what format camera you'll be using. To learn about hot lights, read one of the many good books written for cinematographers on the subject. Sunlight Hot Lights heat. Warm Lights. 10 Golden Rules of Social Media. Steel Cage Debate On The Future Of Online Advertising: Danny Sullivan Vs. Eric Clemons. Editor’s note: Last Sunday, we published a guest post by Wharton Professor Eric Clemons on “Why Advertising Is Failing On The Internet.”
The post questioned a basic assumption that many of us in the tech industry hold near and dear. It sparked a blogstorm and 600-plus comments, most of them filled with rage. Even Danny Sullivan, the normally unperturbable editor-in-chief of SearchEngineLand, couldn’t believe that Clemons could be serious, and let loose in his own post. He even offered for us to republish it here (and he wasn’t the only one champing at the bit to write a response). Instead, we invited Sullivan to present a more concise counter-argument, absent some of the raw emotion that fueled his initial response. Danny Sullivan Believes In The Future Of Online Advertising: Eric Clemons caused a stir earlier this week with his assertion that advertising will fail on the internet, that “it is going to be smaller, not larger, than it is today.”
Let’s assume it is a large chunk. Marissa Mayer On Charlie Rose: The Future Of Google, Future Of Search. Charlie Rose, who’s been focusing lately on Silicon Valley personalities, interviewed Google Vice President Marissa Mayer last night.
In a long and broad ranging discussion, Marissa talks about the product development cycle at Google as well as the future of search and other key areas of technology. At one point in the interview Rose ask Mayer about Yahoo. Her diplomatic answer – an independent Yahoo is best for the web. She also says the biggest problem facing them is their loss of human talent over the last couple of years.
Regarding search, she says its a big and growing problem. On social networking, she admits Google’s Orkut has largely fallen flat (other than in Brazil and India). And, oddly enough, she says that one of the goals behind developing Google’s Chrome browser is to “make the web as fast as turning the page in a magazine.” See Charlie’s recent interviews with the MySpace founders, Reid Hoffman, Larry Lessig and Marc Andreessen.
Marissa Mayer: Thank you. Charlie Rose: Yes.
