LO AND BEHOLD, REVERIES OF THE CONNECTED WORLD
What does it mean to be human in a world driven by machines? In his provocative new film, Werner Herzog navigates the intricate maze of the all-knowing Internet to explore technology's societal impact. With musings from the guardians of our electronic world — from the scientific pioneers who spawned the Internet in 1969 to influential futurists with big ideas about reality — Herzog ponders whether machines feel or dream, and if the Internet's vision will one day surpass our own. — Vicki Warren
Dir. Werner Herzog; 2016; 98 min

Werner Herzog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Werner Herzog (born 5 September 1942) is a German screenwriter, film director, author, actor, and opera director.
Herzog is considered one of the greatest figures of the New German Cinema, along with Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Margarethe von Trotta, Volker Schlöndorff, Werner Schröter, and Wim Wenders. Herzog's films often feature heroes with impossible dreams, people with unique talents in obscure fields, or individuals who are in conflict with nature.
French filmmaker François Truffaut once called Herzog "the most important film director alive." American film critic Roger Ebert said that Herzog "has never created a single film that is compromised, shameful, made for pragmatic reasons, or uninteresting. Even his failures are spectacular." He was named one of the 100 most influential people on the planet by Time magazine in 2009.

2016 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000.
Seven relatively short trips this year:
two Civil War Trust conference (Gettysburg, PA and West Point, NY, with a side-trip to New York City),
my 11th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including sites in Utah, Nevada, and California),
a quick trip to Michigan for Uncle Wayne's funeral,
two additional trips to New York City, and
a Civil Rights site trip to Alabama during the November elections. Being in places where people died to preserve the rights of minority voters made the Trumputin election even more depressing.
Number of photos taken this year: just over 610,000.
