Okay it's a little quirky, but one of my inspirational books is Explorations, by Robert Ballard, the oceanographer who find the Titanic. At the time I was reading Geography at the University of Reading and was really into the remote sensing. What Ballard did, aside from deep sea explorations, was to bring the classroom into the deep sea, by using live video feeds between schools in the US and his ocean side explorations. What a great idea!
15 years on (crikey!) and I'm now trying to apply the same principals to sustainable living. Our 40 acre small holding in mid Wales is gradually being wired up to provide visual photos, videos, and live web feeds across our diverse domestic animals and wildlife. The site at www.virtuallynatural.co.uk is trying to provide a forum for discussing how to live sustainably/self-sufficiently/more enjoyably.
Along the way I have founded my own company which specialises in information management, visualisation and map making. Hence I guess the blog title, Explorations in vision.
Well here goes...
