Strange Contact Sheet Self Portraits- Karl Baden

ASSIGNMENT for next week
Create a grid of photographs "as if" you were using the Gigapan.
It is okay to use photos from different times and places.
You can shoot using different size lenses, etc.
But, the whole thing needs to work together as one large image.
I would like you to print out the images.
Please print them out at least 24 hours before class so they outgas.
OK to print at Walgreens, etc. If you can't afford it then we will look at the computer screen.
But, it seems that this assignment would look good as prints.

TUESDAY'S GIGAPAN LECTURE and DEMO
Anne will be giving a demonstration of how she uses the Gigapan robot and software to construct her landscapes after her lecture. Interested students and faculty can come to the demo that will happen around 2pm in the Main Building. We will first meet in B010 and, weather permitting, then go to The Fenway. If it is raining she will set up a shot inside.
Class, as you know, if you work inside I cannot come. Even if you do work outside, when you go inside to download onto the computer with the Gigapan software, I cannot be there. Hopefully some of you will be present to be able to talk to the rest of the class about the process on wednesday.
Anne will be visiting our class 9-10:30 on wednesday.

Movie night discussion!
Some of you today were talking about having a movie night so we could watch the films recommended in class today. Add comments here to discuss that, where to meet, who can get which films, and so on. If we want to do it at school we may be able to use B311 if there's no class, otherwise we can see who's house/apartment is best for viewing.
Cool,
James
