Geek in Me

Today we going to talk about something other then photography, but yes there will be some pictures.

In the past few years computing has shift gears dramatically to everything being mobile, cloud and now we also have wearable computing.

I attended a meetup today that was held at Pivotal Labs with +Eric Migicovsky who is a co-founder of +Pebble A big thank you to the people who made this possible. Pebble is watch that connects to your iPhone or Droid via Bluetooth and becomes and extension of it. For more details please visit their home page. I participated in the kickstarter campaign for it and now eagerly waiting for mine.

+Eric Migicovsky and his team have a lot on their plate at the moment, but it is great to be able to meet him and to be able to play with a new gadget. The production of the watch is in full swing and now they need to shift gears to expand the company and address some customers concerns in more timely manner. From reading the Facebook and twitter it seems they just don't have enough people to deal with all the emails and posts, but be patient they are going through growing pains. Being in support myself it is all about managing expectations of  your clients and they will get their shortly. 

Is that a red Pebble on his hand :)

And now a small photography plug :) the event was held around union sq, which is always a great place to take some pictures, so here is one I managed to grab before the event started. Manhattan at night, with all its lights is a beautiful place.

Looking Back

I started this blog in the begging of the year and now is a good time to look back at all that happened.
I have to say it has been both good and bad. I lost my best friend, which i am still dealing with, I attended 3 other funerals besides his, which is way too many for 1 year, but life must go on.

My Photography has been evolving, I was published by +Anetta G. Heller and +Artur Heller who run Camerapixo magazine. Camerapixo also has PressID, if you are street photographer or trying to do more journalist work, this could be very helpful.
I was also published in +dodho magazine. You can find links to all the articles in my earlier blog posts.
One of the projects I worked on got turned into a book, you can find it here. There is another project I am slowly working on and hoping it will come to light in 2013, so stay tuned.
Another picture of mine was published in the +Plus One Collection Magazine, which I helped put together, it was all for charity and well worth the time, a big thank you goes out to +Ivan Makarov and +Andy Lee for all their work, please follow them on Google+

Here is one my latest pictures of Snow on Park Avenue, this shot was taken at ISO 3200 handheld through the window, I have to give credit to my new camera for having an amazing sensor technology.

Most importantly I want to wish all the people who follow me Happy Holidays and great 2013 may it bring happiness and joy to all. Thank you for reading!
