Face and Figure Painting Workshop 2009 – Week 09
The last three weeks have been a lot busier than I would have liked, especially this week. I will not have a chance to get near my tablet before at least sunday, so here are the first and last pictures of the workshop. The differences before and after are not as dramatic as most people, but that’s because I already…

Face and Figure Painting Workshop 2009 – Week 07
Week 6 – I gave up on having any of the three images in a ‘finished’ state this week. As for many others (Don included apparently), this week did not turn out to be what I expected. Week 7 My target for the last two week’s Masterpiece. I was looking for something involving both male and female figures at the…
Face and Figure Painting Workshop 2009 – Week 05
Thanks a lot for the nice comments Don ! This is the first time I don’t hear anything about edges, so I must be doing something right I made some adjustments based on your feedback. Touched up the left hand – it did not have the same level of details as the right one. That patch on her back came…
Face and Figure Painting Workshop 2009 – Week 04
Follow up to week 03 with Don’s feedback. I tried to soften the rough strokes a little and work on her eyes and some of the edges. I will spend some time on tidying up the male portrait tonight before moving on to the figure. [male + female final] One thing I have to keep reminding myself is to know…
Face and Figure Painting Workshop 2009 – Week 03
Here is about an hour of work touching up both pieces based on the comments. I worked on edges and lips for the female face. The less than finished state of the male painting was the result of my procrastination over the weekend. I tightened up his eyes and nose and worked on his neck a little more. I also…
Face and Figure Painting Workshop 2009 – Week 02
First two hours of work on the female black and white painting. At this point, I focused more on the face and on laying out the structure for the rest of the painting. I will try to finish the black and white layer tomorrow and get going on the color on wednesday. [Female 01-02] Update of the first week color…
Face and Figure Painting Workshop 2009 – Week 01
I will be posting work for this repeat of Don Seegmiller’s Face and Figure Workshop in this Flicker album. Trying to find my marks again after a long period of inactivity. Still – once past the frustrations of the ‘ugly stage’, it is starting to feel good again For this first sketch, I tried to get the the structure and…

CNN’s The Moment is probably the first official use of Microsoft’s Photosynth technology for a major event. It was appropriate that its first use would be for the inauguration speech one of the most tech savvy administration to date.
Since the collection of images is spread over time, the experiment is more than just ‘a moment’. It allows exploration of the scene from both multiple points of view and multiple points in time.
The result is a fascinating experience straight out of a scene from Blade Runner.
Keep an eye on this site – it will only get better as more images are submitted.
Update: As a bonus, here is a satellite view of the crowd assembled in front of the Capitol.
