Beyond Photography

If you know that a common-household fuse is different than a swordfish then you can understand the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission, as I hope these 2 sort-animations will illustrate.

Portrait Photography 2


By far the most engaging challenge of the semester has been Portrait Photography, so I wanted to try it again. I appreciate Tony telling us we don't have to spend a fortune to get started; that we can use the $20 photo studio, but I really wish I could have gotten access to the photo studio on the second floor of the Humanities East building with it's more sophisticated strobe lights, reflectors and luxurious space, without it I was forced to use one of the music school's piano rehearsal rooms and a set of lights from Home Depot (kindly donated by Don Grant). Unfortunately my camera choked, and the majority of the images came out blurred and streaked, still I'd like to thank the model for driving all the way from Arnold Missouri to help me out, I couldn't have done it without her. Thanks Kat!!!
