The pictures below were taken the week of
April 26, 1999,
at the Health Level-Seven meeting in Toronto, Ontario.
Variations on a Theme
 |
The Toronto City Hall provided an opportunity to fiddle with the various filters and other
tools that PhotoShop provides. Click here to see a seemingly
endless number of examples. Which ones do you think seem to work, if any?

types in a joint meeting with CCOW, XML, and Component Based Messaging. |

commented that the picture looks like "The Continental Congress with laptops." |

for the Clinical Context Object Workgroup (CCOW). Mark Stega looks on. |

| In the Claim Attachments Special Interest Group (CASIG), all the
action was at the other end of the table. (The effect here is pretty subtle: except for
the three people in the back, the colors are muted and the natural shading partly
converted to more solid blocks, like paper cutouts. |

Thanks to Woody Beeler for sending along
pictures that he took with his Nikon CP 900. He contributes a rare thing to these pages, a
picture of Wes himself. Click here to see the
straight version. This is a blend of the Colored Pencil and
Cut Out filters in PhotoShop. |

| The light was pretty funky in the Sheraton Centre,
a strong mixture of bluish north light coming in the windows, incandescent bulbs, and
garish yellow-green fluorescent tubes that were probably "grow lights"
for an alien's garden. If you look closely at some of my pix, you can see items that cast
two shadows of different colors. Woody's camera caught a
balance of output from its flashgun and the ET-Gro-lites. The result was somewhat
reminiscent of Rembrandt, so I thought I'd try to emphasize the idea by making the light
appear on the very edge of my face and shoulders. Besides, what could be more appropriate
for a picture taken at HL7 than RIM-lighting?? (Inside joke). |
