Hawaii Pacific University Modern Media Systems class on the Fort Street Mall in Downtown Honolulu. Question of the day: how can a collaboration that includes Carnegie Mellon University, NASA, GOOGLE, National Geographic, and faculty and students at Hawaii Pacific University expand our understanding of modern media systems? In other words, what emerging, unique potentials are being leveraged by these institutions and their communities in our network of networks project? In part this image constitutes an exploration and manifestation of image-making technologies that provide opportunities for meta-connectivity and global community building. A compelling aspect of the global connection project is its attention to transparency. Transparency of technology, transparency of process, and drill down ability in the composite image itself.. |

The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is an oceanfront amusement park in Santa Cruz, California. Founded in 1907 it is California's oldest surviving amusement park and one of two seaside parks on the West Coast of the United States (the other being the Santa Monica Pier).
The eastern end of the boardwalk is dominated by the Giant Dipper roller coaster, one of the best-known wooden coasters in the world and one of the most visible landmarks in Santa Cruz. The Dipper and the Looff Carousel, which still contains its original 342-pipe organ built in 1894, are both on the United States National Register of Historic Places. Entrance is free, rides cost between $2-4 each. Rides opened daily during summers and weekends during off-season. |

This amazing tree is located in Santa Monica, on a property overlooking Pacific Palisades and the ocean. To get an idea of the size, compare it to the ful size RV in the lower right of the panorama.

Most of the art galleries in/near downtown Honolulu have simultaneous exhibit openings on "First Friday" of every month. These coordinated events also lure street musicians, jugglers, etc., along with many residents and tourists.
This gigapan was particularly challenging due to the inside/outside exposure effects, and especially the uncontrollable revelers attending the opening. ;^) |
