Pac 12 "Opportunity"


We are very excited for the launch of the Pac-12 Television Networks in August. We are eager to work with schools to show our conference's strength, not only in sports, but also in the arts. We are reaching out to various schools to collaborate on creative assets: music, photography, graphics design. We are looking for student images to use as background for television promos; images that best represent the university through the eyes of a fan – a campus image of where students hang out before the game, a trophy case shot, an image of an athletic venue, a shot of a well-known quad, etc.

Any students who are interested can contact me and we can work out details, including payment. We are looking for 300 DPI images that are 8x10. Thank you in advance for your time – this network is for the fans and powered by the fans and we hope to showcase the work of students from WSU.
A little information about Pac-12 Enterprises:
Pac-12 Enterprises was created in 2011 to develop and launch the Pac-12 Networks and Pac-12 Digital, and to control the distribution of the Pac-12 intellectual property rights in sports, and other Conference initiatives.

The Pac-12 Networks is a full-time linear network available to cable, satellite and telephone companies, dedicated solely to the Pac-12. It will consist of a national network and six regional feeds that will provide 24/7 access to Pac-12 teams and universities. The networks will televise more than 800 live sporting events annually and will showcase 12 Conference Championship events each year.

Summer Session Links, Ideas, etc.

Course Theme: The Subjectivity of Place and Space
The emphasis in the course will be on our psychological, emotional, and experiential perspectives on place and space. This will include classroom lectures, seminar, technical demos, reading, and photographing in the field. We will be taking several day trips to various locations throughout the Palouse region. We will also be discussing issues centered around how we interpret space and places through culture, memory, physicality, and aesthetics. Technically, we will be working with different imaging techniques in order to extend, layer, and expand our perceptions of space. We will be looking at works by a variety of contemporary photographers.


Our Learning objectives include:
·Understand DSLR cameras, technically and artistically
·How to use Adobe Lightroom to import, organize, edit and present images
·Use technical tools of photography to observe and extend natural phenomena

Color Memory
From Joseph Albers book, Interaction of Color
Joseph Albers concluded that humans have poor color memory. He used the analogy of a red Coca Cola can, which though “red’ is seen differently by different individuals. Some thoughts he concluded:
·Color is deceptive.
·Color can and does evoke different readings depending on circumstances.
·Observation reveals discrepancies between “physical” fact of color perception 
·Color has a psychological effect.
·Color is in a constant state of change depending on relationships to neighboring colors.
·Color is a private experience.
·Color is ultimately in a constant state of flux.
