Focus On Networking: She blundered her way through technique, resorting to any means to get desired effects. The blurred, out-of-focus images that many critics deplored were deliberate. She wrote to her friend Sir John Herschel that she hoped to elevate her art beyond
mere conventional topographic Photography-map making & skeleton rendering of feature & form without that roundness & fulness of force & feature that modelling of flesh & limb which the focus I use only can give tho' called & condemned as "out of focus'' What is focus-& who has a right to say what focus is the legitimate focus-My aspirations are to ennoble Photography and to secure for it the character and uses of High Art by combining the real & ideal & sacrificing nothing of Truth by all possible devotion to Poetry & Beauty-,19.
2006 CEO/CFO Conference For A/E/C : Building Design And CM Firms
The "Fourth Annual CEO/CFO Conference for A/E/C, Building Design and Construction Management Firms" will be held in New York City May 11-12.
It is co-hosted by A/EFCG and Greenway Consulting and DesignIntelligence.
Last year's conference was attended by 75 industry leaders.
Based on attendee feedback, we believe this conference is set apart from others by strong business/financial orientation and a focus on networking among CEOs, presidents and executives of architecture, engineering, and construction firms.
Every year local & International architects and interior designers presented their newest ideas to hundreds of their enthusiastic colleagues.
Both speakers and audiences alike positively received the forum.
From 2006, Contract+Design.aisa forum will extend to be a one-week program, 'Design Week 2006', which will comprise international forums and workshops, two exhibitions, design tour and other networking activities.
The six-day event explores the mutual influence of design and material products from a global perspective. This year, a special focus will be placed on hospitality design and energy savings.
