Embeddedmetadat.org a new campaign to embed information permanently in digital media .
13 December 2011
A picture may be worth 1,000 words, but permanently attached descriptions are worth a lot more as photos travel through the digital world. A campaign has been launched now to embed descriptive and rights information in digital media and to retain it during the whole life cycle.
The initiative has been launched by the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC), the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A's), and the Association of National Advertisers (ANA), with the support of trade organisations, including the ACMP, representing visual arts and photo agencies. It aims to establish the practice of applying descriptions and the copyright status of the content as metadata, and to embed it permanently during the electronic exchange of digital photo, text, audio or video files.

"On Assignment" Mauro Risch, Shooting a Concert GigaPixel Crowd
5 December 2011 - Mauro Risch
A few months ago I was contacted by a Sydney based Agency to help them check the viability of a project. The reference they had was the Glastonbury festival, where there were 8.000 people in the crowd on a sunny beautiful day. The final shot(1.2GB) was placed on the web(FB) where most of the attendees tagged themselves. I thought it would be technically challenging, but if the guy did in the UK, we should be able to manage the same results Down here. The difference would be: our Gig was indoors. My plan was to shoot a series of images and then stitch them together.
