There was a man who wanted to stop
time. So deep was his love for the idea
that he actually did it. We refer to Dr.
Harold Edgerton, the inventor of the
strobe flash. Through his photography, he
stopped time in its tracks and for the first
time we were able to see the wonderful
details that escape human eyes. There
is no one better then, than Gus Kayafas,
Edgerton’s longtime assistant and editor,
to provide an article about him. For those
who are in London, I suggest you to visit
the exhibition at Michael Hoppen Gallery
about his work.
Our second topic is going to challenge
the way that we think about height. We
have always been told that taller people
have many social advantages. Maybe this
is true, but Thomas T. Samaras, author
of The Truth About Your Height, shows us
that taller height can have a dangerous
trend…
I have an important question to put to
you before continuing with the summary
of this issue. Do you care about first
impressions? Do you know how much
a first impression can influence you as
an individual, or even an entire society?
With Rob Hutchinson, our expert in psychology, you are going to learn what the
halo effect is and how it works.
Finally, there is a matter of discussion
that we should be worried about:Will the
websites and the electronic documents
that we use today last forever? Mark
Miller challenges publishers to create
digital media that will stand the test of
time.
As always, thank you for reading. Please
share your comments with us. We look
forward to your feedback.
