View from the Google Offices in Downtown Tokyo It was a great event at Google that day and night! After my tech talk, we stayed up in their skyscraper till dark, drinking and eating and taking photos. Luckily, the office windows aim in directly the right direction out of the Roppongi Towers.The windows were all crowded with photographers, and it was a great time. Between shots, I got the chance to talk to a lot of enthusiastic Japanese photographers. I even set up a future-photo-date with the great Takahiro-san… and he would take me to one of his secret bridge locations in Tokyo! That photo will be coming up soon…- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Inside the Google Veniceplex Last time I was in Venice, California, I went into the new Google offices there. They recently moved into the Frank Gehry building, and everything is quite stylish, as you would suspect. Just to the left is a conference room that looks like something out of a Bond movie. The furniture is all vintage 1950′s styling from Eames, shag carpeting, the works… BTW, I recommend the Eames documentary, if you are documentary-kind-of-person!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Google GlassNo text. :)- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of the post - including a video interview from the conference.
Google Doodle The new Google offices in Los Angeles are right in the heart of Venice. After passing through some hardcore security, you walk down this hallway, which I guess is a bit like dying and going to Google heaven.You probably know about all the various Google doodles that decorate the home page. I heard the first one was of Burning Man. I didn't see that one on the walls... but maybe you can!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Secret Google Chilling Vat On the tour around the cool Zurich offices, Brian White took me into this watery oasis. It is where euro-Googlers come to nap when they need a brain-break. I don't know for sure, but I imagine them slinking around in here while wearing trendy euro-clubbing clothes. There were soft water-sounds wafting about, and everything was very zen. You can choose whatever sleeping arrangement you like: the porcelain tub filled with red foam cubes, the leathery massage chair that doesn't ask questions, or many more... - Trey Ratcliff The rest of this blog post is here at www.stuckincustoms.com.
Superquad It was an amazing turnout! After the Google talk (which is being editing now), we all went over to Stanford for a mega-photowalk. Towards the end of the PhotoWalk, we ended up in this amazing area... here is my photo that I took... I think it was one of my last of the evening. Thanks again to everyone that came along :) - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Sharks are Circling Google The very nice Cliff Redeker over at Google took me all around the campus after my Authors@Google talk. It's a very cool campus, and I set up a for a bunch of fun shots.I don't know if this is supposed to be a shark fin or not, but it reminded me of all these silly recent news stories about everyone coming after Google. From the German government to other bureaucratic busybodies, things seem to be heating up. But don't worry Google... I got your back... and so do all my friends here on StuckInCustoms!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Google Street View Cars After I was invited to speak at Google on HDR for their Authors@Google program, I visited another one of their buildings where I gave a little workshop. It was great fun! On the way over, I passed the fleet of Google Streetview cars. I set up for a shot in the awesome Mountain View afternoon skies.I know there's a lot of controversy over these cars. I think it's all silly. Everyone is everywhere taking photos nowadays... whether with DSLRs, consumer cameras, or cell phones. The idea that Google can't do what everyone else is doing in an organized way just doesn't make any sense. I use Google street view all the time to help find my way around... it's a huge time-saver! And, it's super-cool on my Android phone, I must say...- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

View from the Google Offices in Downtown Tokyo


It was a great event at Google that day and night! After my tech talk, we stayed up in their skyscraper till dark, drinking and eating and taking photos. Luckily, the office windows aim in directly the right direction out of the Roppongi Towers.

The windows were all crowded with photographers, and it was a great time. Between shots, I got the chance to talk to a lot of enthusiastic Japanese photographers. I even set up a future-photo-date with the great Takahiro-san… and he would take me to one of his secret bridge locations in Tokyo! That photo will be coming up soon…
