New on Gwulo: 2023, week 16
What's new and updated on the Gwulo website:
Next Thursday evening, 27 April, I'm giving a talk to the Royal Asiatic Society Hong Kong Branch. We'll see a selection of photos from my collection, but also look at what goes on behind the scenes:
- Where to find old photos
- Tips for buying, and scams to watch out for
- Potential causes of damage and how to keep your photos safe
- Using the computer to enhance the photos
- Uncovering the photos’ stories
- Photos in print vs. photos on screen
- The latest artificial-intelligence tools, how they can improve a photo’s appearance, but also their limitations
Guests and non-members are welcome, so it will be great to see you there if you're free. The talk will be held at the Visual Arts Centre on Kennedy Road, and starts at 7pm. Click for details & booking.
