About the VTL

The Visual Thinking Laboratory is a collection of scholars exploring the ways humans interact with the territory at the juncture of image and meaning. Laboratory members include teachers, researchers, students, information scientists, artists, philosophers, filmmakers, computer scientists, behavior analysts, photographers, and others. The Visual Thinking Laboratory weaves together the ideas, talents, and abilities of these researchers to create a unique body of work.

Ctein Print Sale 19.95 - and it's shot with a micro 4/3

Online Photographer contributor Ctein is offering prints of the lovely image below for only $20 this week. The really interesting part, though, is that it's shot with an Olympus Pen E-P1 fitted with a Zuiko 45mm f/1.8, and the prints are 17" x 22". This is a testament to the quality that can come out of a micro 4/3 sensor. It's got 12 megapixels, and I think Ctein used them all. He's also printing on the Epson 3880, the same printer used by the VTL!
