Dutch Portrait



Dutch Portrait, originally uploaded by jjvornov.

I’m back from my very extended travel. Berlin, Amsterdam, Milan. The D300 was a perfect companion and I returned with about 750 images captured.

In Amsterdam, I played a bit with capturing the Dutch on their bicycles by using a slow shutter speed, here about 1/20th second. While my intent going in was to keep the city travel portfolio as black and white, seeing images in color makes it a bit more difficult to stick to an arbitrary convention. I converted and processed this one quickly just to get an image up tonight. I’ll be working through the images over a few weeks, trying to get at least one per day online.

I'm an MD, PhD Neurologist who left a successful academic career on the Faculty of The Johns Hopkins Medical School to develop new treatments in Biotech and Pharma. I became fascinated with how people actually make decisions based on the science of decision theory and emerging understanding of how the brain works to make decisions. My passion now is this deep explanation of what has been the realm of philosophy, psychology and self help but is now understood as brain function. By understanding our brains, I believe we can become happier, more successful people.
