Photo Shoot

Yesterday I photographed the founder and CEO of JetBlue, David Neeleman, for the cover of the brazilian magazine Época Negócios. He’s a really cool guy to meet. He was born in Brazil but lived most of his live in the US. Despite the heavy accent, he has this great combination of humility and ADD. He was clever when starting the company, he decided to start a company of customer service rather than an airline transportation service.

The Rasterbator

I know it sounds quite sexual, but this is actually a very interesting upscaling/pixelating image process. What it does is to take a small image and turn it into billboard sized images ready to be printed from multiple letter size paper (or other paper sizes) ready to assemble. It deliberately looks “pixelated”, or rasterized in more proper words. You go to their website (http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/), upload your image (under 1mb), choose some options and in a few minutes you have a print-ready file pdf. Take a look in their sample gallery to see what people have done. It’s pretty cool.

Uncle Dirty

What better way to start this blog then to show some images. This is truly what it means to tell a story with pictures. You cannot fully describe or understand Uncle Dirty if you had just read about him. Thanks Nina for the link. Click here to see the story, photographed by Mike Belleme
