SIGNAGE IN VENICE

Having been to Venice more than twice, I've taken to coming up with a 'theme' of shots to focus upon, to give me some organizing principal among the many pictures to be brought back.  This trip it was the Signs or Signage in Venice.  I picked my favorite 50 [all my pictures being my 'children' that is a very tough decision at times, but just had to come up with a broad but not totally repetitive range] and uploaded them to a gallery at my Gallery site at JourneyZing.

Venice - a little bit of humor

This is a fun little thing we found in the church just across the way from La Fenice, the opera house, in Venice. Someone had sculpted these fencers and placed them up on top of a piller on the side of the church. Rather whimsical.

iPhoto09 Face Recognition

This is a wonderful new feature of iPhoto.  I am going through some older photographs in an older iPhoto library, family photos over two or three generations.  You pick a photograph of a person and click on the 'Name' icon in the lower left corner of the window of images.  You identify that person and then go to the Faces area, select the person, a new screen opens with the photos you have identified as containing that person and below is a group of photos with [perhaps] that person.  Click on 'confirm name' and you can quickly click on each image that is, in fact that person and skip others other that are not. 

Then, as the program learns the features, you can again hit the 'confirm name' button and new possible matches are suggested, perhaps not as easily matched but some are accurately selected.

What is really revealing is that when I clicked on my own image and looked at the group of photos which 'might be' me, in iPhoto's selection so many were either me, my sister or my children, Kate and Ryan.  It's pretty amazing that the iPhoto process could find the family resemblance.

Gondoliers, waiting for passengers

Today (Thursday) started with light clouds, then it rained, then stopped but stayed grey and cool. Loads of walking, of course.
