Photo Kommisto: March 2005

Somewhere in Queen St. West in Toronto, near "The Theatre".

By the way here is the ultra primitive bash script I use for uploading and resizing and thumbnailing (using cygwin on windows):


#!/bin/bash
echo
cd /home/kaveh/MyDocuments/My\ Pictures/manip/
convert "$1.jpg" -gravity South -background White -splice 0x18 -pointsize 16 -draw "text 0,0 'Some rights reserved under a Creative Commons Licence.'" -resize 700x700 "$1-small.jpg"
convert "$1.jpg" -resize 60x48 "$1-tn.jpg"
scp "$1-small.jpg"  kaveh@apollo.physics.utoronto.ca:~/web-docs/kommi/

Minacula who kindly posed for me without biting me first. She will find out about this picture, won't she?

I am thinking about moving the photoblog to my own server and using the mighty textpattern to run it... I am sure that as soon as I move blogger.com will upgrade its features!

Dr. Mabuse in a tight spot. I shot this one with my old camera (R.I.P.).

Track of the moon as seen through the window inside a car (Corolla) moving at 80 Km/hr on the way back to Toronto from Niagara Falls. I have a couple of more of these "moon paintings".

An aerial photo of some of my friend's temporary belongings that he had to leave in Toronto, before going back to Vancouver.

He watches with inherent and silenced rage as his opponent in the argument speaks up. I should've corpped it differently perhaps...

For this post, I was trying to choose between a pictures of some branches or an orange stew with chicken, which was hard so I decided to make a new one. The ephemeral glory returns: The Ikea sofa cover in blue monotone mode.

Danny Gruner, right after declaring that shooting him will result in camera breaking.

If you walk too much you might find yourself on a label on a bottle, like the good old Johnnie. This photo is categorized under "late night amusement photography".

Japan or the red balloon. Apparently I have updated my template! I conveniently resize and label the pictures via command line using ImageMagick.

Long lasting light bulb from GE being used in a tasteless Ikea lamp.

Three roses. This is what shouting like a soccer hooligan brought to April Spring Farm, near Orangeville, Ontario.
no-ruz xojaste!

Yummy, prints...

Another picture of Ardavan, in my office. My office comes fully equipped with a Rembrand lighting in bright days.

Foggy day in Toronto, incidentally the same day as this one by Sam. Neither I nor Pouria liked the photo then, but here it is anyway.

This metal skeleton shall become the extension of the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.

Somewhere in Yorkville. I didn't ask for permission for photography but I haven't shown her face anyway.

Kiumars aka Q. One of the few mathematicians with a black belt in Karate, looking down on the idiocy of my photographic attempts to capture his soul. The bigger version sucks; please don't click on it!

Yet another student from the same "teaching" class as in the previous photo.

Peter, from my "Teaching in Higher Education" class.

The starbucks Cafe NorthEast of Yonge and Bloor on Yonge. The places used to be a nice bookstore.

Mutation? This is somewhere around Hart House at UofT.

A picture of snow and its negative; looking like a weird Rohrshach test figure.

Took this from a print of the famous picture of Einstein [possibly copyrighted] produced by rasterbation. I have emphasize the paperness.

A certain member of a certain political group from a certain country.

yet another glass reflection shot.

"Crane Praying for Redemption", or insert your title [here].

This one didn't quite make it. The window is double layered and the reflection is doubly produced. This is Trinity college reflected in a window in the University Art Centre at UofT.
