Burning Man Satellite Photo: 11:41 AM Thursday

It'll be 1 meter resolution (think zoomed in Google Maps), so individual people won't be visible. But if several hundred people painted themselves purple and laid down in a ☮, it might look pretty sweet.
Hi Everyone,
I have arranged with GeoEye for a satellite image acquisition on Sept 2 at *precisely* 11:41 am. That is NOT!!! playa time ... as in, not at 12:00, not 12:15, not "oh shit where is my watch"... at *precisely* at 11:41am. So if you want to send out a notice to any artists who want to do a project that is captured from *space* (as in not from the airplanes) they need to do it at *precisely* that time. I will get the imagery roughly 24 hours later and it will be posted soon thereafter.
I will notify the artists who have already asked.
Jeff

2010 Photos So Far
Saturday, May 1st, 2010 07:14 pmI haven't taken very many pictures in the first third of the year. Partly this is because most of my travel has been by bike and I don't usually want to carry around a bulky camera bag just in case I see something interesting on the way to work. Also, I tend to take fewer pictures during winter months because it's dark, cold, and not full of lovely plants.
I combined all my good photos from January to March in one album including several of me making funny faces wearing hats.
All the pictures I took in April were on a trip to San Francisco for an awesome steampunk wedding featuring
slyviolet and
wyldelf. I also took some good San Francisco street shots and Google's T-Rex wearing a tutu and disguise glasses.
With another trip to California this week and a festival every month or so for the next four months, my camera should be clicking with higher velocity.
P.S.: Happy Beltane to everyone and Happy Birthday to
akkhima!
