B-Trees!
Been making a lot of short, mostly picture posts lately. There will be a new article after finals are over. A continuation of the prime vs zoom article.

Janice Jann as 1st Princess
Posted by ronnie in Uncategorized on March 5th, 2010
Had the pleasure of doing a shoot with Janice Jann as 1st Princess (Miss Chinatown LA 2010). The shoot was very impromptu and I didn’t have any assistance (I know, the insanity!). Kept the lighting setup as simple as possible. Didn’t have to do much, Janice would look good in any kind of lighting.

Random Shots – 02/14/10
Posted by ronnie in Uncategorized on February 14th, 2010
It’s been awhile since I posted anything so here’s some pics:
Shopping carts in front of T&S Emporium (sic). Taken with my phone.
Couldn't sleep so I took a picture.
Sea lions or seals (I don't remember) resting on a buoy. I'm pretty sure they're sea lions though.

Bored in Class

Instead of paying attention in class this is what I’m doing:
You can probably tell by what's projected what class I'm in.

Good Times With an Old Friend
Posted by ronnie in Uncategorized on February 8th, 2010
Was looking through my “backup” hard drives and came across some old HDRIs that I did couple of years ago. Oh how I’ve progressed…
One of my first attempts at HDR back when I was still at Mt. Sac. I put the camera (Rebel XT w/18-55 II) on the roof of the car to get this shot.
I don’t remember how I processed this. I’m pretty sure this was done in Photoshop but I don’t remember.

Battle Over h.264
Posted by ronnie in Uncategorized on February 4th, 2010
I’m too lazy to type up an article so here is some articles that explain things:
No, you can’t do that with h.264
I’m planning to write an article soon about the importance of open technologies which relate directly to this. It might actually be an audio netcast (or podcast if you’re so inclined). I don’t feel like typing lately…
UPDATE: Google has acquired On2 Technologies and the Free Software Foundation has sent them an open letter urging them to open VP8 video codec. Link to letter: http://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/google-free-on2-vp8-for-youtube
