This was a nice thing to discover - viewing on the laptop
LCD, a sweater on it, and shooting the result. This is the contents
of the email I sent, which Noemie awarded it with a "best email"
label.
Subject: Novel techniques in Photography
Due to the flood of on-line and off-line harassments, we encounter a
wealth of `nijusim' from external sources. This recent development
has led to frustration overload and need for serious wife/husband
talks, under varying conditions such as all lights-off. Unrelated
technical problems with current laptop-bios firmwares have resulted
in the inability of closing the laptop lid, which violated the
environmental requirement for the above mentioned talks. An ad-hoc
local solution that has proven sufficiently robust under these
conditions is covering the LCD with a sweater, dimming the radiating
light to low levels. Out of this construction, a new visual
emerges: one that is quite pleasing in its visual form and artistic
expression. This is, for all practical concerns, a reflection of
modern society in a single-picture micro-cosmos: in this information
age, are we ready to face information-oriented criticism made by
information-oriented tools? Can we handle the personality crisis
that face us all when we delve into the world of
human-software-research interactions?
In the following picture, we try to answer these questions, and
more. We have investigated existing features provided by our new
photographic equipment and made genuine progress towards better
understanding of these tools. This is a major contribution to the
bit space which forms the body of our picture collection.
