Courtesy of my neighborhood Staples store. I assume that someone working at the store did this for laughs. I didn’t set this up in any way — I just walked by it and had to take a picture.
This image was shot with my Verizon Audiovox cellphone camera. That should explain the quality (or lack thereof) of this image.
I went to the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum a couple of weeks ago and took this photo of the SR-71. The photo was shot with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel at ISO 1600, f3.5, 1/50s , no flash, with a Sigma lens.
I’m continually impressed with the quality of the images from this camera. Now that I’ve moved my website to a host with better bandwidth, I will probably start posting more images to my site.
If you would like the full size photo, send me an e-mail.
I recently saw Matrix Reloaded (yes, I waited until the DVD came out) and almost fell off my seat when watching the scene where the Architect is introduced. Although this reference would probably be considered very unlikely to be recognized by many individuals, I couldn’t help but notice a striking resemblance between The Architect and Dr. Vint Cerf, the individual generally regarded as the “Father of the Internet”. I’ve had the pleasure and honor to meet with Dr. Cerf on a few occasions and I’ve heard him speak several times now at different functions and the similarities are striking. While their appearances are somewhat similar, what really hit me was the similarity in their mannerisms, tone of voice, and general conduct.
Amazing.
So I haven’t actually listened to the director’s commentary on the DVD yet, but I plan on jumping over to that scene and checking to see if anything is said about it in the file. When I googled the subject, I found nothing.
This image, below, is a scene from the movie with the Architect. Inset is a photo of Dr. Cerf. You can judge for yourself.
