"This was before the advent of digital cameras.) We especially wanted to see our pictures from that wonderful, frozen experience on the Ijsselmeer. So try to imagine how we felt when, on picking up our photos, we learned that of all the rolls we'd brought in, one had been destroyed by the photo processing—the one with our pictures of Volendam. We were heartbroken. "Why that roll?" we asked ourselves. In our minds, an irreplaceable life experience had disappeared." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"The computer allows me infinite control over this stage (akin to the photographic technique of burning and dodging). New digital cameras, at higher resolution, allow me to see into Nature with much finer detail. A wondrous array of beings are revealed, layer upon layer, worlds within worlds—the ftactal realm that, science tells us, exists. Working with these images, I move into the arena of mythic creatures—archetypal images that resonate with a power beyond our everyday existence. These beings speak of a timeless realm, a place of oneness that underlies our world—the place from which we dream." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"We may not remember to bring our digital cameras with us in our day-to-day travels, but we rarely forget our phones. Camera phones are incredibly popular, outselling both other types of mobile phones and other types of digital cameras, according to statistics on WirelessMoment.com. But imagine making a phone that's dedicated to this purpose —an "Earth Phone." Besides the camera, it would have small, cheap environmental sensor attachments." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Every house is full of little plastic power supplies to charge cell phones, digital cameras, cordless tools, and other personal gadgets. Keep rhem unplugged until you need them. ?Use power strips to switch off televisions, home theater equipment, and srereos when you're nor using them. Even when you think these producrs are off, together their "standby" consumption can be equivalent to that of a 75- or 100-watt lightbulb running continuously. ?Enable the "sleep mode" feature on your compurer, allowing it to use less power during periods of inactivity. ?" - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "We were all in a tizzy, snapping images with our digital cameras. It was everything that a Ford should be; it was everything you could want. It represented the very best technology coming out of the American car industry. (Ford itself has some 139 patents now for its own hybrid technology breakthroughs, although some of the technology used for their hybrids is licensed from Toyota.) Thomas Brewer, the general manager of Lincoln-Mercury, in blue tie, shirt, and jacket, stepped up to the podium where the lectern was adorned with UAW, Ford, and Mercury logos, with the UAW logo first." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Camera phones are incredibly popular, outselling both other types of mobile phones and other types of digital cameras, according to statistics on WirelessMoment.com. But imagine making a phone that's dedicated to this purpose —an "Earth Phone." Besides the camera, it would have small, cheap environmental sensor attachments. Such add-ons for phones aren't out there yet, but students and engineers around the world have attached atmospheric sensors to bicycles, handheld computers, and cheap robots. They've even stuck sensors on the backs of pigeons to measure smog-forming pollution." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) "That's where the Witness Web portal comes in, allowing people to send in images and recordings from digital cameras and camera phones. Things change when you can send your expose over the Internet; speed and breadth of access are the best allies for transparency, and the Internet has both in abundance. Once damning photos or video have been released onto the World Wide Web, there's no bringing them back—efforts to do so are only more likely to draw attention." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) "Cheaper tools like digital cameras and consumer editing suites are democratizing the filmmaking Young Buddhist monks browse racks of pirated, imported audio CDs at a music market, Tachilek, Myanmar. Nigerians at home and providing African emigres worldwide with a sense of cultural identity, in the face of rapid globalization. In recent years, Nollywood has struggled with issues of piracy, political infighting, and the questionable spending of government funding. Still, the young industry is booming and continues to stretch its boundaries." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"There are now more than 200 self-identified nano-products on US shelves, including paints, sporting goods, sunscreens, cosmetics, stain-resistant clothing, cell phones and digital cameras. The personal care industry is leading the way as the largest single category. Companies using nano-materials include Almay, Barney's NY, Chanel, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Johnson & Johnson, L'Oreal, Lancome, Revlon and many others. The FDA treats nano-material ingredients no differently than bulk material ingredients." - Stacy Malkan, Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry (Get the book.)

"Used as a rating for digital cameras' capture and resolution capabilities, multiple exposure exposing a single frame of film many times, to show motion or for special effects, negative a print or piece of film whose tonalities are reversed from the natural scene. Light projected through a negative onto light-sensitive material produces a positive image when that material is processed, optical zoom the use of multiple lens elements in differential motion to enable a lens to move smoothly between different focal lengths." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.) "CMOS ("Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor") an alternate form of digital image capture that works essentially the same as a CCD, used in some brands of digital cameras. CMYK for "cyan," "magenta," "yellow," and "black", the primary colors used in four-color printing to create full color images, with black added for true black. Printing uses additive color, the complement to which is subtractive (light-based) RGB color. color depth (bit depth) refers to the number of bits (a single on-off choice) used to represent a color in a digital image." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.) "More expensive digital cameras permit manual override of the automatic settings, and feature higher-quality lenses. Many of these better cameras feature zoom lenses (referred to as optical zoom), which enable you to manually vary the focal length of the lens. A zoom lens is not to be confused with digital zoom, featured in many low-end cameras, where the image sensor magnifies a portion of the image to create a low-resolution faux-zoom effect. In all cases, optical zoom is preferable to digital zoom." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.) "Sensing the Image Most digital cameras today use CCDs to record images; some cameras use similar sensors that employ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Both CCD and CMOS sensors are made up of a large number of tiny light-sensitive diodes. These diodes, also called photosites, convert photons (light) into electrons (an electrical charge). The brighter the light that hits a photosite, the greater the electrical charge that accumulates at that site." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)
