MIT's first (and, I hope, not last) annual Festival of Art, Science, and Technology impressed me to no end. Providence's Waterfire simply doesn't hold a candle to MIT's effort. I was fortunate to learn of FAST--a friend clued me in and we checked out Saturday evening's "night 1" (PDF map of exhibits | FAST web site). Wowed and having failed to bring anything more than the so-so camera built into my Blackberry Curve (I'll admit it--the one dimension on which the iPhone bests the Blackberry is on the camera front), I elected to return for Sunday's "night 2" and capture it with my trusty and tripod-supported Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS5. After the fact, I spent some time on the "FAST" web site and came across a professional (or, at least, skilled) photo gallery. In the slide show accessible from the link below, you can compare my work to that of the pros. FAST slide show back to portfolio | back to deepbrook home | email me at dieffenbach @ alum.mit.edu
