After big trips I like to post a few of my favorite photos from the trip. For our trip to New Zealand last month, I’m instead posting a few favorite themes. You can read the full travel blog here, or if you’re just interested in the pictures, the full set is on Flickr in my New Zealand set.

If you click on one of the images in the sets below it will pop up a slideshow for you.

One A Day

Not necessarily the best shot of the day, but the one that I think is the most representative.

Horizons

We traveled the length of New Zealand’s north island, exploring its coastline, cities, farmlands and forests. Other than the Kauri trees and waterfalls, it is a basically horizontal land.

Food

We also explored a lot of restaurants, enjoying a wonderful array of beautifully prepared food. Dining in New Zealand is world class and locally sourced.

AnimFX, New Zealand

(Note: My wife and I spent two weeks in New Zealand, with AnimFX making up the first five days. This post is mostly excepted from our travelog for the whole trip which can be found here.) I was invited to speak at AnimFX in New Zealand at this year’s conference on Nov 15-17. The Visual [...]

St. Louis Zoo

Kudos to St. Louis for their zoo. We were out there a couple weeks ago and spent half of Sunday seeing the animals, and watching other people seeing the animals. Many of the residents are separated from the visitors by glass, allowing one to get face to face – I find it as interesting to [...]

Stereo Lava

I took this stereo pair in 2003 at Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho. Seeing it in 2D, it is a flat wall of lava, in 3D there are five distinct layers of rock. I think it’s a great example of the power of 3D in certain situations. You need to be able [...]

Dino Ignacio

Dino Ignacio is Lead UI Designer at EA’s Visceral Games. He gave a great presentation to our CMU ETC students about his work on Dead Space. The photo was shot with my Canon 430EX flash angled to bounce of the wall to the right. This gave a wider soft light from the side, adding some [...]

Fall 2011 ETC Student Team Photos

Each semester I take team photos of our students at the beginning and end of the term. It’s fun to do, the students need the photos for their project websites, and there is always a fun creative challenge to do something that is relevant to their project. “Five Sided Square” is a student-pitched project to [...]

Stanford Sierra Camp 2011

I had a surprisingly small number of good pictures from SSC this year. Usually I’ll have my camera with me all the time, and take some photo hikes as a reason to explore. In retrospect, this year seemed more active and social than usual for me. That’s good news, right? Here’s a few of the [...]

A Lifeguard Chair Built From Our Old Deck

The inspiration for this chair came from seeing one on a pier at Lake Tahoe. It’s big – seating two pretty comfortably – and tall, affording a nice view along with protection from cannonballs and wet dogs. After sitting in it I decided I had to build one for myself. This one is made from [...]
