The TEDxOilSpill Expedition team—Pinar Özger, Darron Collins, Kris Krüg, and myself—joins event organizer Dave Troy on stage at TEDxOilSpill. What we did out in the Gulf was a true team effort and I’m proud to be a member of that team. (image is a screen capture from the livestream)

Me on stage at TEDxOilSpill yesterday. Leave it to the photographer to pull a silly move and try to hide from the light on stage. It’s a move that I’ve seen other photographers make on stage because they want the crowd to look at the images, not themselves. Still, you’d think someone who had shot as many conferences as I have not to do it. 

Duncan was awesome, no matter where he stands on stage.

Oil stains everything down here on the Gulf. At first, you might just see a boat. But then you see the oil and the entire meaning of the photo changes.

Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we’ll soon buy books and newspapers straight over the Intenet. Uh, sure.

The Internet? Bah! - Newsweek in 1995 (via ojacko)

It’s humorous how narrow-minded and wrong the author was. Negroponte has a gift of looking 10 or 20 years down the road at what’s possible (he showed off multi-touch interfaces at TED in 1984), while this guy was looking purely at what currently existed.

However, most interesting was how ominously accurate the author’s final paragraph was:

What’s missing from this electronic wonderland? Human contact. Discount the fawning techno-burble about virtual communities. Computers and networks isolate us from one another. A network chat line is a limp substitute for meeting friends over coffee. No interactive multimedia display comes close to the excitement of a live concert. And who’d prefer cybersex to the real thing? While the Internet beckons brightly, seductively flashing an icon of knowledge-as-power, this nonplace lures us to surrender our time on earth. A poor substitute it is…
