Creativity

The forces that motivate. A talent that is born in certain individuals regardless of the nature of the calling needs an outlet. An outlet in total free form, or within a given set of rules. Toward this end I want to engage all that are so inclined to expand creatively within a given set of rules. These can be leveraged against music, programming, writing, painting, and photography.
I will attempt to add examples of each discipline.
I claim not to know the answers, just to comment on the journey.
I feel the need to develop the left brain right brain synergy.

Maine summer 2014 photo shoot

Wells Maine beach drive I made a trip up to Wells-Ogunquit Maine last year for my vacation. I was fascinated with the coastal rock formations along the beaches that other photographers had posted throughout the web. I wanted to try my hand at capturing the dawn light and the sunlight reflecting off of the rocks with a long exposure time. In addition, some much needed away time to ride my bike and read. Marginal Way Day one consisted of scouting locations. Perhaps a quick bike ride or beach outing followed by a lobster sandwich. After unpacking I took my bike out through the streets of Wells Maine. I was struck by how similar it was to the town in the movie Jaws Martha's Vineyard. Wells is a small town with narrow streets and older homes. The beach drive featured a fantastic stretch of road just perfect for biking. After a great seafood dinner I scouted the Marginal way.  A combination of site seeing and shooting with the iPhone.  I really underestimated the amount ...

When inspiration happens, what stands in the way?

I was making my way down a wooden walkway on an early morning photo outing - backpack and tripod in hand – when I was struck by this eerie scene that appeared before me.  A perfect moment, I instinctively reached for my iPhone and snapped off this. Had I taken the time to pull the equipment out and set everything up on the tripod, would I have grabbed a better image? Would it have the same wow factor had I used the better equipment? Would I have missed the sun in that particular spot in the sky? At what point does "gear" get in the way of creativity? Should inspiration drive the hardware choices? At a recent photo club outing, the leader was explaining why he continued to use older photography equipment on his hikes. His intention was to always travel light. His tripod was small; it featured no ball head mountings or other bells and whistles, very bare bones. His camera was a point and shoot with an attached lens. He would simply stoop down at an interesting scene and fir...

Router modes and channel impairments

What does it mean for a wireless network to be operating in "infrastructure mode?" Clients connected to a base station (an access point or router) are operating in infrastructure mode. They communicate indirectly through this access point or router which serves as a bridge to a wired network. Ad-hoc mode networks are networks that do not rely on a router or access point infrastructure. As a result, each client participates in the routing by forwarding data to the other connected clients. What are the differences between the following types of wireless channel impairments:  path loss, multipath propagation, interference from other sources? Multipath propagation is when packet loss occurs due to electromagnetic waves reflecting off of ground objects which then take paths of different lengths between sender and receiver. Interference from other sources happens when there is interference from radio sources transmitting in the same frequency band. Wireless phones and wirel...
