This series of photographs was taken during a gathering of European users of a major database product during the first week of April, 1995. In this job, there were not only the usual mix of computers, operating systems, and normal headaches, but we also had a live two-way link to San Francisco via a Picturetel video compression device operating over a pair of ISDN lines. All these sources needed to be made synchronous so that the switching to the projectors and videotape recorders was seamless. At the conclusion of this project, Barbara and I toured Firenze, the city selected for the conference, then went on to Venice in the north and Sorrento in the south, where we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. All of these images originated on Hi-8mm videotape. The entrance to the Fortezza de Basso where the event was held. (20kb) My clients helping to unload some of my equipment.
