Senior Papers due Wednesday 11/30

There seems to be some confusion as to when the final senior papers are due. They are due Wednesday, 11/30. You need to turn in two copies, with your rough draft.  Ian should receive the copy of the final paper with the draft he corrected and I should receive your final with the draft I corrected. You can either drop it off at our office door or in Room 148 tonight from 5-7p.

I believe this gives all of us unconditional permission to use our camera phones to photograph whatever the hell we want, all the time, forever.

LYTRO

I was reading the latest copy of Time magazine and came across several interesting photography related articles. However one of the more interesting gadgets that caught my eye was the light field camera by LYTRO. This digital camera supposedly collects all the standard information that digital cameras already collect along with each light rays vector direction. This theoretically allows you to not have to choose a plane of focus during shooting. I'm not sure how it all works, and there still is a fairly narrow focal plane. There is more info on their website, but it is not very detailed unless you read the inventor's dissertation which is too long for me. I'm sure this is something Rufus Cone could make sense out of.

Checkout Not open during break

The darkrooms and checkout are actually NOT open during this Thanksgiving break. However, we ARE open from 12-5pm on Wednesday (23rd) . Sorry for any confusion and inconvenience.

16x16x16

Dear Photo Students, I am working on a great opportunity with my friend Larry Gawel who teaches photography at Metropolitan Community College in Nebraska. He is putting together a student photo exhibition called 16x16x16. This will be an exchange exhibition between 5 Universities and Colleges. Through a democratic process, MSU students will select 16 prints for the exhibition. These will then be matted 16x16 inches. The set of prints will then travel for exhibition at the 5 Colleges. Work from the other 4-5 schools will be exhibited in the VCB display cases. I am looking for one to three students who can spearhead this great exchange opportunity. Good line or several lines on the Resume. Please let me know if you are interested. Ian

New Image for Final

This is one of my first images for my Advanced Lighting final.  Let me know what you think!

Love Kurt

Private Collection

I took some 4x5's of the bridal party at my buddy's wedding yesterday as a favor. His dad promptly gave me a tour of his private collection: 4 Mick Rock images, 2 Cartier-Bressons, and 3 Ansel Adams (1 being a one of a kind polaroid!), all original and signed limited editions!!! It was rad, just thought i would share. See yall in a couple of weeks.

Medium Format Camera For Sale

I'm selling some of my gear which doesn't get used nearly enough.

I'll be listing this camera on ebay in a week or two but I thought I'd let you guys have a chance in case anybody is interested.

It is a beautiful camera with a really sharp lens in excellent condition. They are somewhat hard to come by.

Fuji 6x9 Rangefinder: GSW690III
Film Size 120 or 220
Lens Fujinon SW f/5.6 65mm

The counter on the bottom says 173 (x10) frames. That means it has only had approx. 200 rolls of film shot through it.

It is a great landscape (backpacking) camera with it's wide angle lens and compact format.

Anyone contemplating buying it, I'd be happy to let you try shooting a roll of film.

Drop by my office during office hours or catch me in the lab whenever to look at the camera.

Attached is a photo of a similar camera and an approximate size comparison to 4x5.

Senior Collages

Here are a few of the collages I have been working on for senior this semester. They are constructed using litter I gather around town to make a statement about consumer culture and the lack of effort on the individual's part within a community.

Riverside Country Club Layout

Megan and I visited Riverside to get the layout of the room for the Senior Show. Here it is. Thought this may help anyone with their displaying ideas. We also thought we would keep the middle of the three doors closed to help with the flow of traffic. The food will be set up on the bar room.

Senior Poster

Alright Seniors, for those of you not hooked to FB (congrats Dan, I admire you). We've come up with a plan to work in multiple images into the Poster/Postcard. (I realize it sounds weird if you have not seen what I'm talking about, but it'll work well). I want to give everyone a chance to be in on this, (although you certainly do not have to submit if you don't want to)- if you would like 1 image to be included please e-mail it to me (high-res) @ nettlesphotography@gmail.com by 10pm tonite. If I receive it by tomorrow morning I may still be able to work it in, but it's not guaranteed. I should have a mock-up available to view Monday or Tuesday. I'll keep ya posted. Thanx!

Senior show poster!

Okay guys so no one else has sent me images for the poster, there were several of you who sounded like you wanted to submit something so I'm extending the deadline to tomorrow morning 8 am no more extensions (halli.bischoff@gmail.com) NO MORE IMAGES. Also for those of you who want to check out the contenders and voting go to the Facebook group here .
