I've just returned from what was a damn awesome FITC 2007 in Toronto. Again Shawn and his team have outdone themselves to create a great experience. It was a wonderful opportunity to get in touch and party with so many old pals, and to meet a lot of new folks. I can't remember having talked that much with so many people - actually I missed several talks that I wanted to attend since I was kept in some interesting conversation.

From the feedback I got afterwards it looks like my talk "The Blind Sketchmaker" was as inspiring as it was meant to be. Thank you very much to everyone of you who made me feel very good by telling me that you liked it!
I only wish that sometimes also people who didn't enjoy a talk would come to me for some constructive critique - but I know how difficult that is face-to-face, so feel free to leave a comment here.

Some of the visuals that were evolved by the Sketchmaker can be found in this flickr set. And of course I will publish some of the image analysis classes in the near future.

A big big thank you goes to Craig Swann for hosting that legendary Soju + Meat orgy at the Korean Grill.
