\"Hats<\/a> Let me be possibly the first person ever to ask, What’s up with all the mustachioed, middle-aged Indian dudes + lens flares?<\/i> \ud83d\ude09
\nAdobe engineering heavy hitter Seetharaman Narayanan<\/a> was honored last week at Photoshop World, becoming the newest member of the Photoshop Hall of Fame<\/a>. Congrats, Seetha! (Somewhere in the depths of the PS code base, his hands caked with Cocoa, he nods a quick acknowledgement.)
\nI like to imagine Seetha walking through the show floor<\/a> in slow mo, firing double finger-guns like the engineer featured in this Intel ad<\/a>*. I couldn’t help but notice the similarity between the lens flares added in the video and in “Seetha’s fan club<\/a>,” juxtaposed here (slightly larger version<\/a>). And no, I didn’t touch either image besides resizing them.
\nWell, whether it’s old-school filters, Don Julio, or something else that keeps Seetha’s mojo flowing, we’re grateful for his efforts & wish him more success.
\n* I’m a little sad to learn (via Wikipedia<\/a>) that the “Ajay Bhatt” featured in the Intel spot is an actor. Here’s the real guy<\/a>. Perhaps someone should set to work lens-flaring (and mustache-ifying) him. [Update<\/strong>: And, what do you know, 20 minutes after I posted this, John Eakin sent me this image<\/a>. Nice.]<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
