Droneo is a synthesizer which drones with various timbres and precise intonations that blur the distinction between tones, timbres and chords.

This simulation uses 8 tone sources, (here called "reeds") which can be tuned to a number of intervals, randomly detuned, chorused, and modulated. The relative pitch and volume of each reed can be set individually, making for a wide variety of drones. The reeds can be set to various timbres suitable for drones, including vocal-like timbres and evolving, dynamically generated timbres.
The settings for all the reeds, timbres, modulations, volume levels and tunings (called a "Droneo voice") can be recalled with a button press. A set of six of these Droneo voices, called a "voice bank," can be named, saved, renamed, and deleted.
Droneo is a relative of one of my other iPhone Apps, SrutiBox.

Digital visual literacy is a set of skills that enable students to function in an increasingly digital and visual workplace. These skills are based on concepts from a range of established disciplines but are not simply a collection of modules from courses in, say, computer science and graphic design; they build on basic concepts in such disciplines but are modified with awareness of related skills in other disciplines. The basic DVL skills are informed by original sources in single disciplines and interdisciplinary projects. Ideally, students should learn DVL skills in authentic contexts, such as learning how to make a business presentation, rather than study them solely in the abstract.

As international culture and commerce become increasingly reliant on visual communications, visual literacy is becoming an essential skill for technical workers and college graduates.

Despite all odds, the black and white photobooth continues to find new audiences. Photobooths are showing up in movies, print ads, commercials, and in the homes of select Hollywood directors. The antiquated booth has garnered recent stories in the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, and the Philadelphia Enquirer. MTV installed a photobooth in their Times Square Studio, and Neiman Marcus featured them in their holiday catalog. The most surprising development, however, is the photobooth's new life as a party rental item. The photobooth has become a popular item at wedding receptions, corporate parties, and celebrity functions. Guests mug for the camera, create instant party favors, and leave a whimsical photo album for the hosts. The photobooth packs a nostalgic punch, and is instantly recognizable, immediately accessible, and eternally entertaining.

We've got the hardware mostly built, and I believed the software to be done, until we actually tried it out in the club and discovered that, yes, the iSight camera is a piece of shit. It's terrible in low light where "low" means "less bright than the surface of the sun". It's so bad that even using a spotlight in the booth won't help, because it would have to be so bright that it would illuminate the whole room. And possibly cause skin cancer.

So one option is to get a Firewire DV camcorder that is good in low light and use that. But I don't know which, and I don't have one, and I don't know if that'd be good enough in low light either. (I'm guessing "probably not": even those Sony Nightshots we use for the webcast cameras aren't exactly "photo quality" in the dark.)

The other option is to use a digital still camera with a flash, which is what Photoboof uses (running on Windows). The trick there is that you want the photo camera to behave like a video camera by giving you frames cont

We’re using an iMac with a built-in iSight to capture the images. The iMac is hooked up to a Canon Eos 10D via USB, which is the camera that actually takes your picture when triggered. To trigger the capture, we have a big red button connected to the computer via an i-pac. I soldered up the connection for the button and the iPaq, which marks the first time I’ve ever got to do soldering at my day job. The button took some googling to find, but it turns out the company that makes it is actually located in Roseville, MN. The flash on the camera is a ring flash, so they have a sexy, fashion photo feel.

Tying all of the inputs together is Max/MSP + Jitter. When the button is hit, it acts as if the “x” key has been hit on the keyboard, which starts the countdown. At 7 seconds, the camera capture is started. As I talked about in a previous post, we’re using gphoto2 to handle the capture. It takes a few seconds for it to happen, but goes off at right about 0. The built-in iSight on the iMac i

his started from a simple idea – to have a photobooth in which the seat drops suddenly, just before the picture is taken. It got more elaborate as I thought of other things the booth could do to provoke different expressions.
EXHILARATED – blow a gust of air across the faces.
DISTRACTED – make something happen in the roof, to make people look up.
ENCHANTED – wobble the seat about in a slightly suggestive way.
RAW – shine a bright light in the faces.

The list kept growing.

I thought the whole idea was a bit new age so I decided to make the booth out of wood. Patrick Bond did the woodwork, and had the idea of having watery darkroom noises coming from within while the pics were being printed. Andy Plant had the great idea of putting the lens on the outside to peer into to see faces and expressions.

Pushbuttons for projects

This page describes how to connect one or more pushbuttons to a PC and use them to control the photobooth mode in PSRemote or DSLR Remote Pro shooting mode. This is done by connecting one or more pushbuttons to the PC via a serial port and running a free software utility which detects button presses and forwards them to PSRemote/DSLR Remote Pro.

We are the image generation. Without even trying, we are exposed to thousands of images every day. There are pop-ups as we surf, billboards as we drive, TV spots as we relax, not to mention posters and fliers and neon signs.
But before we had the internet or television, or even cars, we had magazines. The first known publication was in 1734, London’s Gentleman’s Magazine. It was so well received, that dozens of copycat publications sprouted up within a few years. Today, there are over 10,000 magazines circulating in the U.S. alone.

My Canon has a cable socket, so I looked around for one on the internet and low and behold there were lots, ranging in price from £15 to £60 (for what I assume to be a switch on a plug!).

I decided that I would try and build one out of parts I had lying around at home, and this is my photography diy shutter release guide.

First thing I needed to find out was the connector that is used for the shutter release. After A little digging around I found it was a mini jack plug with three connections. I had a rummage around in my spares box and found a suitable donor.

This should work with any Canon 300/350d (Digital Rebel/Kiss)

Make a remote shutter release for your canon digital camera (and some other brands such as Pentax, sony, and some nikons) for about 3 bucks in under 5 minutes, even a 1st grader can do this. This is great for getting the perfect exposure, and enables you to go past the 30 second exposure offered with canon cameras. I use this on my Canon Digital Rebel SLR and it works every time…

Step in front of the Digital Photobooth, frame your shot with the monitor and click the button, instantly your portrait is projected. Incredibly flattering lighting makes everyone look fabulous. Each new image is instantly added to a slide show that rotates throughout the night.

The Digital Photobooth can be installed anywhere and is perfect for any event. The installations are scalable and can include one projector or as many as you would like.

After the event, guests can download their photographs from our web site. We have also recently added on-site printing.

We do installations for both corporate and private events and have installed the Digital Photobooth for parties in Milan, Basel, Seoul, Munich, Montreal and Mexico City, all within the last year.

For our corporate clients we can offer custom branding and marketing solutions that are unmatched. The Digital Photobooth is currently patent pending.

Yes, friends, the photo booth is back. And it’s not just for drug stores and shopping malls any more — several enterprising photographers have reimagined the humble automatic photographic machine as the life of the party.

Here’s a couple of our favorites along with instructions for rolling your own:

was contemplating building a photobooth / photo station for a carnival night that my school will be putting on soon in a month. Most of the kids I work with come from a pretty disadvantaged / low income background, and most don’t have photos of themselves with their families. I wanted to provide something fun and cheap for them via DIY.

Hey, hi there. Nikola Tamindzic here — the photographer behind Ambrel.net, in case we were never properly introduced.
This was the home of the vain.
Ok, so it has become pretty clear that something was afoot as the updates were becoming more and more spread out. Put simply, as a site dedicated solely to nightlife photography, Ambrel.net has run its course. Then again, it was pretty exciting running what was widely considered the nightlife photography site for over three years.
Since 2004, when I first started posting galleries of partying New Yorkers here and on Gawker, there have been over 150 archived galleries on Ambrel.net, cover pages and features in Time Out New York and British Journal of Photography, dozens of photos published in magazines and newspapers from New York and Blackbook to Daily News and New York Post, several "Best Nightlife Photographer" awards from Village Voice, 'L' magazine and Junk magazine, a nomination in the same category from Paper mag, and about 354 copyc

"..all art is inherently inauthentic because it is not beholden to any system of thinking. Art as we know it, is free from the constraints of empirical proof, religious dogma or even common sense. It’s about imagining. Its about impossible dreams, going places you can’t go any other way…. So it’s a paradoxical—diametrically opposed to the idea being true to anything. Art that is true to the idea of art, or “art for art’s sake” is the wonderful absurdity at the heart of all this…"

Question

Out-of-print, “The Invisible Dragon” was selling for upwards of $500. By reissuing it, are you denying its existence as an obscure object of desire?
Answer

To be honest, the book is not worth $500, and the people who like it don’t have $500, and it was all beginning to feel a bit prissy. I did not become a writer not to publish, and I liked the last essay, “American Beauty.” So, I decided to get over myself. Last time, I was blamed for messing up the “non-commercial art” scam. This time, no doubt, I will be blamed for the market excess that I deplore.
