Welcome to Gaia Online
GigaOM » Move over MySpace, Gaia Online is here: "By the middle of last year, it was attracting half a million unique visitors monthly; fast forward to last month, and that number is two million. It’s not a traditional MMO like World of Warcraft; it’s not a social game like There; it doesn’t originate from Europe like Habbo Hotel or from Asia like Cyworld. You haven’t heard of it partly because the San Jose company has kept a low profile.
Another reason you’re still likely in the dark: it’s primarily designed for teens. But with online worlds all sizes and styles poised for an explosion, you’ll almost certainly hear a lot more about it soon."

Lucia Bucklin
Time Travel - Features | ImagingInfo.com::
"Step into Lucia Bucklin’s landscapes and you are transported to another plane—one that combines Salvador Dali’s surrealism with the tranquility of heaven. As you wander within the image, you wait for transcendent music to sound. Still, you’re not quite sure what is lurking behind the white-leaved tree branches. It is this precisely this sensation that attracts clients to her ethereal infrared landscapes.

“Infrared film is a complicated medium to work with,” she explains. “You’re shooting with a red #25 filter and need to visualize your image. Sometimes photos I think will be amazing only turn out average when processed; sometimes shots I took to finish a roll turn out amazing.”
Bucklin says galleries consider infrared images made with film more of a fine art than those captured digitally. This leads to her number one concern—rumors that Kodak infrared film will be phased out— so she hordes rolls of the film, just in case. At $11.99 a roll, and $15 a roll for developing, the film is expensive, which explains why many photographers shoot infrared digitally or attempt the effect in Photoshop."
I loved to use polaroid photo copy transparency film with a limited grey scale - I better learn to emulate that in photoshop too.

Boxheart : Information: "'Art is both love and friendship and understanding, the desire to give. It is not charity, which is the giving of things, it is more than kindness, which is the giving of the self. It is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit. It is the recreation of another plane of the realities of the world, the tragic and wonderful realities of earth and man, and all the interrelations of these.'
Written by Ansel Adams in a letter to his best friend, Cedric Wright in 1937."

Hugh Watkins (A'81)
has produced a series of 15 Barn Prints that play off the fact that 2 percent of farms in the U.S. produce 50 percent of the nation's food. The prints all contain variations on the words '2%,' 'FEED' and 'U.S.' The collection of wood block prints, called 'Broadsides,' was featured at the BoxHeart Gallery in Pittsburgh July 13–27.
