[Baynet] SLA-SF Bay Region Dinner Program Featuring Don Bain

[Cruz, Craig]

Dear BayNet Members,

 

I'm sending along this announcement from our friends at SLA-San Francisco Bay Region. Don Ban will discuss a digital archive of landscape photographs he's created, which has more than 5000 VR panoramas. I'll be there, so any BayNetters who attend won't be alone. I hope to see some of you there!

 

 

Mail-in deadline today! (Online registration deadline is June 23.)

Don't miss this great opportunity to meet a local artist who, through his cross-section of computing, geography, and a keen photographic eye, has created an invaluable record of Western North America (and a few other beautiful locations!).

Please register online by June 23 or mail your check by June 20, 2008.

** SLA-SF Bay Region Dinner Program Featuring Don Bain **


What:  Don Bain's Landscape Panoramas and Digital Archive

When:  Wednesday, June 25, 2008, from 5:30 - 8:00 p.m.

Where:  The Jazzschool, 2087 Addison Street, Berkeley

About our Speaker
>From http://virtualguidebooks.blogspot.com <http://virtualguidebooks.blogspot.com/> :  "Don Bain has created a collection of more than 5000 VR panoramas that will allow you to travel (virtually) throughout western North America.  These amazing photographs show you exactly what it's like to be in a particular spot -- you can look in any direction, all the way around."

Don will speak on the history of representing landscapes beginning with the 360-degree panoramas that once were installed in rooms (only a few survive today), moving on to traditional wide panoramic photographs, and then the new possibilities offered by the digital era, including cylindrical "up and down" panoramas.

Join us to learn more about Don's photography and creating and using this digital archive of landscapes.
