Yes, it’s THE Bryan Petersen of “Understanding Exposure” fame and he even makes reference to his “Who Cares?” F16 aperture setting. He sounds totally different from how I pictured him in my mind from reading his book but “Who Cares?” he’s still proferring great tips and advice on how to better your photography. I love it!
I love patterns, especially when they occur in nature or projected on the human form. For a less ambitious, but fun nevertheless, project, Steve Harmitage proposes a neat idea of creating these patterns on your computer monitor and using that as a background for your pattern photography. He does not tell us how he creates those patterns but I would guess most are already available online or be creative and use Photoshop to draw your own. If you have a tripod, use it for it will free your hands to hold any fill-in cardboard reflector(s), the subject itself, maybe add a second smaller colored subject for contrast, etc.

From BlackBerry
The RIM BlackBerry PlayBook [aren't you glad it's not the Blackpad?] allows the content of its screen to be sent to a projector which you cannot do with the current Apple iPad; this capability is essential for the adoption of tablets in business and schools. The smaller screen size (7 inch) also means that medical personnel can more easily carry the PlayBook comfortably in the large pockets of their lab coats. And being open to developers mean that enterprises, schools, research labs, etc. can now at last fearlessly spend resources to develop the apps they need without worrying about whether Apple will allow it to run on its tablet or not. Add multiprocessing, multitasking, and the ability to display any sites, Flash and HTML5, and you have a serious device. The one feature missing (and which I hope RIM rectifies before the tablet is released) is GPS, which is essential to the usefulness of many apps. RIM bills the PlayBook as a “professional” tablet, a jab at the Appel iPad which can’t seem to shake the label that it’s just a [very expensive] “toy.” RIM has built it (available early 2011; BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK is planned for release in the coming weeks) — will the developers bite?
