Bromonculus and I were out roaming the Waterloo streets on Brother Night again. After McMullan’s killer combo of pizza and beer, I was determined to get some freaky streaky photos on King. Above, we shot King looking north toward Dupont from the relative safety between the cars. Four buses later, we had the shot we wanted.

This isn’t cool. And it’s happened two additional times in the last month with two other for-profit parties. So now I gotta say something. The uncredited, unpurchased photos, with my watermark deliberately removed, shown in the non-makebright blog fragment above, these are photos that I took! See:
and they all have my copyright watermark in the bottom right…
that has my name and the date. Here’s another page that rips my photos,…
Flyin’ the Bear
Flying Bearskin to Ottawa on Monday last week, I noticed this cool effect of the prop appearing when I shot this with my BlackBerry. If I knew the scan rate of the camera + estimated distance between the prop blade images, I could probably calculate how fast the prop was turning. Or I could just…
Robots? Yeah, we got that in Waterloo!
Last weekend, the annual FIRST Robotics Regional Competition was held at the University of Waterloo. I go every year. Smart high school students making ‘bots and competing in a challenge that changes each year. What’s not to like?
#TEDxWaterloo 2012 was a great time
TEDxWaterloo once again delivered an amazing experience. So good to catch up with old friends and meet a whack of new friends. An unreasonable amount of pictures follow…
Jeff Ferst with Art Allies at the AC
While I was doing the good work of my other favourite job out in Vancouver two weeks ago, my brother David G. White was representing makebright with the camera over at the Accelerator Centre. Artist Jeff Ferst was rocking the Accelerator Centre as part of the on-going and awesome series invented by Art Allies.
All paintings in this post are oil on canvas by Jeff (buy his stuff), and all photos are Dave White’s.
Smartphone macro photography–on the cheap
I cracked open one of those 1-time-use disposable film cameras, pulled the 8mm plastic lens out, and taped it on the front of my smartphone. You have to manually focus by moving the phone, but you get some interesting results with nothing invested but a little time.
Thanks to my bro for the odds and ends to shoot. He has lots of interesting bits kicking around “the museum”, all part of the nostalgia that feeds his work.
Gonna let this post push the margins of the layout. To hell with constraints.
Random Vancouver
Great photowalk today with my new shooting buddy Jerry. Just trying to get better exposures in the camera. Subjects are pretty random as I can only steal an hour here and there around the conference. Continue reading
