SEE, issue three, it's finished

SEE, front cover, issue three

 

SEE, back cover, issue three

It's called SEE, based on the fact that it's easy to take photographs, but difficult to learn how to actually see. Follow this link to buy your copy. It's one of the longest we've made, so it costs a little more than past versions; $44.60, plus shipping. I'm paying $6.40 to ship, but it won't arrive until the 28th. Pay more, get it earlier.

There's also a FREE ipad version available but you have to get the free iPad app.

I haven't graded exams or gone through your final files yet. That will have to wait until tomorrow. I plan to submit grades by Monday.

Thanks for a good semester,

Byron

Lite Panels

A small LED lite panel.

I got an email this morning from a company called "Lite Panel." They have different sizes and types of LED lights that you can use on camera or in studio settings. They're very interesting and can be acquired in different different color temperatures. Very, very slick!

The Steve Jobs Memorial Lounge: it's now official

I just hung the sign (with ethernet cable). Click for detail.

Whatever we might have lacked in terms of polished design, we made up for with our spirit of innovation. Here are some more pictures. I'll make a couple more on Tuesday when the last chaise-lounge is complete and we have everyone on hand. This is just a start.
