An open letter to the inventors of Acquine
Hello Prof. Wang,
I just stumbled upon your website Acquine (http://acquine.alipr.com/). The aesthetical evaluation of photography by a machine learning system is, without contest, the worst idea I have ever seen in this area of work. And believe me, I have seen some very bad ideas in my time. This whole enterprise and the world-view in implies is an embarrassment to Artificial Intelligence...
Rate your pictures... with a machine.
This is so wrong on so many levels…
Acquine rates your pictures automatically. They probably call it Artificial Intelligence somewhere, I call it fucking bullshit. I am working in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence for 9 years, I studied that trade, I know what I talk about: there is no way a machine can rate the artistic quality of photography. Forget it, those idiots give AI a...

Today, my boyfriend invited me over so I went, not thinking anything of it. To my surprise, he broke up with me. I was pretty upset, and as I was leaving his mom hands me a box. When I got home I opened it. His mom baked me a break up cake. FML

Parting question before sleep: 5D mk II or D700?
I’m going for a mk II, but only because I like Canon’s menu system. The Nikon is slightly cheaper overall. They’re both amazing.
Going for Canon because of the menu system… that’s original.
I love my D700. It’s a friendly machine, unlike the Olympus E-520 which was a bitch to deal...

Analog Era
fromme-toyou:
These days, we love our digital cameras. They give us the freedom to explore photography as never before. We get instant feedback on our photographic experiments and find out what works and what doesn’t; we can easily manipulate the results and correct our blunders; and to ensure we don’t miss a shot, we shoot all the pictures our memory cards will hold. When we are done, we pack...
