People being nice to Andrew Davidhazy ;-)
These are some messages of thanks or complimentary statements or related
materials that I remembered to move to a folder for such mail during the
"evaluation" or "annual report" year 1998-99 (Dec 01, 98 up to end of Nov.
1999). I am not sure of the usefulness of this but maybe it can be
considered as supporting evidence to the effect that I am not totally asleep
at the switch ... in spite of what things might look like when someone peeks
through my office door! ;-)
I apologize for the "preformatted text" layout of this page but it is the
fastest way that I could get this in. Hopefully I will have a chance to fix it
up and finish the bottom of this file also.

Subject: Great web article!
Andrew, I really enjoyed your web article on High Speed Photography. The
reference photos you quote in the article were not available for some reason.
Is there another site or did I access the information incorrectly?
I am interested in approx. 10 microsecond flash photography using a "standardly
available" strobe which has been modified to produce a more square wave flash
curve. Do you have any other references where they discuss the modifications
necessary to reduce the discharge time of the strobe with a more square wave
light/time curve?
This is for a science fair project I am working on with my son. It's something
I've been interested in all my life and now I have a partner. Looking forward
to your reply.

Subject: Peripheral Selfportrait
Dear Madam, or Sir, as the case may be,
I am a professor-at-large at Duke University. Aside from the "Outlaw"
connotation of my title, I enjoy my position/role because I give myself the
freedom to be inquisitive and colegial--in the best sense of the word! I have
just run across your images on the internet, including the above-referenced
one. They are very nice. The self-portrait(you or one of your "agents" left
out the hyphen)led me to recall a set of photographic "experiments" I did with
three-dimensional representation. WHile it was a "total outlier" with respect
to what usually occupies me, the I took the endeavour so far that I was invited
by one Charlie Brooks(IBM 360"father"and founder of the 1st Computer Science
University-based Dept. in the USA) to present it at an international meeting on
computer graphic representation of three-dimensional structure. At any rate,
this is what I did:
I took a 3-D "real" object and made a virtual model of it by photographing it
from 6 mutually orthogonal views. The 6 prints were then pasted on the surface
of a cube. The resulting photomontage, in 3-dimensions, was a more-or-less
satisfying view of the object, virtually showing it as if it were the real
McCoy. This is analogous, but with one dimension left out, of your self
portrait. I have two(at least) questions: First, how did you create the
images(as well as the one you l;abeled"Slitscan Photo"? Second, If you catch
the drift of my cubic representation, how might one combine tha approach I took
with yours, posssibly creating a simple way, more efficient than my six-view
one, to make virtual ,models of stuff that people are interested in seeing?
I look forward to hearing from you. Also, I got on to your stuff through a
Biomedical Website called HMS Beagle. I'm not sure I have a website adress for
your stuff per se, and I'd like to have an adress if you're comfortable with
it.

Greetings and thanks for offering information on your experiments. Photography
has been a way of life for me and my indulging and supportive wife.
We have ventured into cyberspace with a web site devoted to the introductory
areas of photography and will be offering an entire section on digital
photography in the near future. We would like to tell people of your infrared
experiments and reference to them.
Night photography has always been my first love with infrared being my least
understood, but most closely, albeit unsuccessfully, challenged. We currently
own an e1280 and have used it for several of the photographic examples seen on
our page.
Experimentation is what keens our interests and helps us to move forward.
Without being able to introduce the novice to what's available we only stagnate
ourselves. Thanks for sharing your insights.

Andy, I believe gazelles are indeed in the family of antelope. Being smaller

I have not been to a zoo in years. I imagine shooting wild animals on the
Serengeti is similar to trying to photograph small children at a birthday

I'm off for a few weeks now, but I wished to thank you for the photoforum. Also
I had a look at the safari pictures. Why didn't you shoot slide ? The work is
easily of what some people term, a "professional" standard, and could be
sitting in a stock library, generating a nice little income on the side. Plus
you wouldn't have had the fifty rolls of film sitting on the side, thinking,
aaah, what am I going to do with all these prints.
Come to think of it, I'd consider retiring as a photographic safari guide,
since you obviously enjoyed it and have the necessary people skills involved.
This weekend my parents are looking at camper vans, hippies that they are, they
have decided in three years time when my father retires, to buy a wagon, sell
up the house and potter around the world.

Subject: Tanzania travel
Hello Andy - I read with great interest the account of your trip to Tanzania
last year. I am going on a trip there in early July - almost exactly a year
after you went. As you did, we are starting in Arusha, then going to
Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater and highlands, and Serengeti, on a twelve day
safari. Then we are flying to Zanzibar for 4 nights. I don't have any
specific questions about the safari itself, tho if there are any additional
"tips" or insights you can give me, in addition to those you ahve on the wb, I
would appreiciate it. By the way, we are staying in tents, rather than lodges.
I do have one question regrading photography. My friend has a "good" slr
camera - I don't know the make or specifications, but he has a couple of lenses
for it, and I think they cover the zooms you suggest. On the other hand, I
only have a point and shoot, with a zoom lens that is ok for snaps, but not for
safaris. We can share the prints when we get back. My question, and I know
this is subjective, so you may not be able to really answer it, is this:
Will I somehow feel "cheated" by not really many taking photos on the safari?
I do plan to bring binoculars, so I will be able to see "live" what is around
us. I also plan to take my camera, to take phots of our camps, people, etc, --
the "normal types" of photos I usually take. I thought of buying a better
camera, but this seems to be a waste, since I am happy with the one I have for
all my other photo needs, and it seems like an awful lot to spend, especially
when I can share in my friends photos. What do you think??
Thanx again for putting your thoughts and pictures up on the web. Take care,
Howard

I thought list members would like to know that a student of RIT--and a student
Andy acted as faculty sponsor for--recently won second place in "single
images" for the PIEA (Photo Imaging Education Association) Student-Teacher
Photo Competition. Andy can't promise, but the student's (Anthony Tanbakuchi)
work may be able to be viewed in a future Photoforum gallery.
Refusing to take credit for any of this, Andy insists all credit should be
given to Anthony and Steve Diehl ". . .who is an excellent nature
photographer", and was Anthony's teacher when the winning image was produced.
I think list participants will agree, however, that Andy's definitely got the
"golden touch" as a teacher/mentor, and it is not an accident that good things
happen to others whenever he's involved.

Hi Andy - Maybe this will be an unwanted suggestion. I "watched" you put up

may not matter. But there is a way around it - if you load all of your images

Subject: guilty as charged: copying without crediting the author...
Hello, Thanks for informing me. I got your articles in the pre-web time (at
least for me) through a mailbot server. At the time I had a good time reading
them, but now I couldn't find them on the internet no more.
Therefore, I took my old diskettes and retrieved the plain ascii text from
those and I did put them on the internet, without any editing. I felt it would
be a shame to not have these documents publically available. I didn't know they
where available via a web interface. I also didn't know about the RIT's web
site, since the documents did not include a hyperlink when I originally got
them.
Now that you pointed out to me that you have your articles online at your own
homepage, I have corrected the situation, by doing the following:
index.html: included a link to www.rit.edu as "Rochester Institute of Technology"
infrared.htm : included a link to www.rit.edu/~andpph as "Andrew Davidhazy"
spec_ef.htm : included a link to www.rit.edu/~andpph as "Andrew Davidhazy"
hg_speed.htm : included a link to www.rit.edu/~andpph as "Andrew Davidhazy"
insects.htm : included a link to www.rit.edu/~andpph as "Andrew Davidhazy"
2ndcurt.htm : included a link to www.rit.edu/~andpph as "Andrew Davidhazy"
shut_spd : included a link to www.rit.edu/~andpph as "Andrew Davidhazy" and
included a link to www.rit.edu as "RIT"
I hope this is OK to you. Once again, sorry for the informal "some other

Christiane,
I thought that Photoart was extinct. If the folks there want to find me, I'm
here at PhotoForum. So I'm not all that difficult to locate. I never
unsubscribed from Photoart, and so I have no idea why I never received posts
from it. I recall that it was owned and managed by someone in Australia.
Photoart faded away because it didn't have an easy to use gallery. I think
the heart of a first rate Photo list is a well maintained gallery run by an
enthusiastic and knowledgable manager. Andy is head and shoulders above
everyone else in that job.

Espero que encuentres aqui muchos amigos y que te sirva esta lista para
intercambiar ideas sobre la fotografia y el turismo. La verdad es que casi
todos los turistas toman/hacen fotos y uno de los usos mas comunes de la
fotografia es para hacer "recuerdos" de lugares que visitamos.
A pesar de eso, me parece en mi limitada experiencia, que la mayoria de esas
fotos se pierden el lugares oscuros de las habitaciones de las personas que
las
valorizaban tanto cuando las hicieron en primer lugar! Curioso esto!

Dear Professor Davidhazy:
This is a long overdue thank you note for your having nominated Pilar
Martinez for the Outstanding International Student Service Award.
The members of the International Student Scholarship Committee
thoroughly enjoyed meeting with Pilar. She is a delightful, exceptional
student who works very hard toward her goal. We felt privileged to meet
wonderful international students like Pilar. However, the selection for
the Award was not an easy one, and she was not chosen for this year's
award. She was notified of the result at the end of April.
We appreciate your taking time from your busy schedule to nominate Pilar
for the Award. Kind gestures like yours give international students
special encouragement and self-esteem.
Thank you again!

just taking pictures for fun, but it was wonderful to see the other various
aspects of photography, too. I hope the group that went on Wednesday liked it

It is a significant contribution to photograpy education and is especially

mentioned the possibility of an online course in the photography area from
RIT. The idea has received a warm reception from the people on the

Subject: Photo Techniques
Hello,
I am a photography teacher at Oneida High School and a PIEA member. I attended
your photo workshop about 4 years ago. You stretched me to my limits and I am
still trying to recover - once again, thanks.
Since then I have implemented several of the photo techniques that you taught.
We have built the device to photograph a balloon as it pops. We are completing
a quite fancy array of mirrors to take high speed photographs with a regular
35mm SLR camera.
Our latest challenges are - I am working with the physics teacher to photograph
a droplet of water. I can not find the article. We are trying to set up a
motion sensor to trip the strobe - similar to the balloon.
The second thing we are trying is photographing stemware. I still have my
negatives from the workshop. The background on the negative is dark which
should produce a white background. How do I get a black background with the
white/clear glass? We photographed with the stemware backlit through a piece
of white paper. I have drawings of that setup from the workshop but think I
may be missing something from the printing process.
thanks,
Tim

Dear Photoforum members,
although I've never been a very active participant of this list, I want to say
a few things before I leave. When I joined this list one year ago I knew
nothing about photography and I still don't know much. Along the way, you
shared with me your knowledge and sensibility. I've learned a lot, but I also
discovered that there is still much more to learn. Thanks to you, I've found
in photography another path to satisfaction and fulfillment in my life. It is
with regret that I say goodbye, but I'm dedicating more time to this list than
to my study and I must finish my post graduation. The subject has nothing to
do with photography, its informatics. That is another issue: my passion for
photography is making me reconsider my life. I'm having many doubts and
finding myself different: more inclinated towards more artistic expressions
and towards nature and people (that's exactly the opposite of informatics). I
have a lot to think... To end this goodbye, I'll say that I'm very grateful to
you and that this list has a place inside me and that I'll come back some day.
All the best,
Sergio Lopes.

Dear Mr. Carlson,
Well, I don't know details about the company but they were very influential in
the photoinstrumentation field in the 50's and 60's ... and maybe earlier.
Eventually some or all of their activities and products were taken over by the
Cordin Corporation of Salt Lake City, Utah.
Beckman and Whitley was an active participnat in the establishment of the SPIE
(then called the Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers and now
the International Society for Optical Engineering located in Bellingham,
Washington) and the SPSE (now the IS&T - the Society for Imaging Science and
Technology located in Washington, DC). Their products and research efforts were
published in the journals of both of these groups.
They also published in the meetings of the High Speed Photography and Photonics
conferences and that are held every couple of years in different locations
around the world.
BTW, I have some of these journals archived in my office and if I can help dig
through them let me know.
I have some URLs that may be of use ... especially the Cordin one.

forum; I'm following the threads since about mai 1996 and do really enjoy this
list. Since I'm on the Internet, it's the only list I've been following
without interruptions...
As for the Anonymous gallery... it should be up to the photographer to decide
wether they want to show up in the open after the exhibition is closed down.
Some may want it, other not.. Such a rule would also satisfy part of the
curiousity of the other members ;-) I've tried to guess who were the
photographers of the anonymous gallery .. and would enjoy to know if the
guessing were right or not... so if some want to unveil their names I'd welcome
it; but this shouldn't be an obligation for everyone...
Have a nice week-end

Hello Andy, Thank you for your time and consideration and your photographs of

is some urgency to have the readers in print by the beginning of next quarter,

don't know how many years ago it was, it seems like a long time, my husband
who teaches photography at GVSU here in Michigan recieved his Ilford instructor
news letter.......since I am forever wanting new info... I always read his
newsletters from various places .......WELL!...there it was talking about this
plastico Lubitel camera and then ...I don't remember if it was in the same
issue ar not.......there was this really cool way of taking pictures with 35mm
film in this plastic camera....so i had him buy one for me and i learned the
"technical" oddities of the Lubi...and since i only skimmed the article at the
time and (we couldn't find the thing later so i could read it ) .....but i saw
pictures ...and was inspired....i jammed the 35mm film canister in the back....
actually there really was no jamming it fits pretty well....... BUT!.. you are
limited to who knows how many exposures (i got 6 once from a 36ex....eeww!) and
have to have a dark bag with you to unload and rewind....not to mention a LOT
of black tape for the exposure window....SO!.....as i am cruising through the
last few areas of the GAK site i find your name..... and your
invention!!!!......Thank-you thank-you!!!!......because of you I was accepted
into the "Krappy Kamera Show"( no really i am proud of that) in Soho, and now I

From: Bailey Donnally
Subject: A modest suggestion
Hi Andy, Let me make a small suggestion about the Photoforum Gallery (which I
enjoy quite a bit). When you see the thumbnails, you can click on the
thumbnail to get a larger image or you can click on the name of the author to
get more details about the photo and the author. However, most authors do not
give additional details about their photo and so all you get when you click the
name is standard info such as e-mail address and possibly a Web link.
Therefore, mostly when the viewer clicks the name it only takes up time and
doesn't yield information she/he could use in reacting to the photo. It
strikes me that it would improve matters if you would put an asterisk by either
the author's name or the photo title to indicate that there is more information
specific to the author's photograph contained in the link. That way the viewer
could choose to view the image but skip clicking on the author's name link if
there are no additional info or comments there.
As I said, this is a small matter. I am highly grateful for your enormous
services in maintaining the Photoforum list, and I do not wish to add to your
work. If this complicates your life in any way, or if it sounds stupid to you,
just send this message to your electronic shredder.

Subject: A question regarding formal photographic education
Andrew, I am a member of the Photo Forum list. First, let me say how much I
appreciate this list. It is superb for an aspiring photographer such as myself
to be able to list to true pros such as yourself, Jan Faul, Sam Turvey, Alan
Zinn and others. It is a great thing and having run many mailing lists in my
computing career, I know it is mainly a very thankless job.
Regarding my primary reason for writing. While I would love to be able to
attend a school like RIT or Brooks (and perhaps someday I shall), my current
circumstances as a working professional with a small business as well as the
only member of my family able and thus tasked with the care of my elderly
mother, it simply is not practical for me to leave the San Diego area for an
extended period of time. Thus, I have been seeking alternate forms of a formal
photo education. I have been considering the local colleges, community and
otherwise as well as a correspondence school such as NYIP. Basically, I'd like
your professional photo educator's opinion as to my best course of action.
Any suggestions and help you could offer on this matter would be most
appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and my best,
Joe Balsamo

There is more to great photography than techno babble. Let the techies talk
cameras, lenses, chemical formulae. I am more interested in what goes on
behind the eyes and between the ears. That you can only get with alot of

I just got a #16 cirkut (never thought I would see one on EBAY) which I plan on
having running in two -four months. I have to make a reproduction gearhead
(maybe a few). and order some film. I might end up ordering some film from
kodak, and wonder if anyone else might be interested in some when/if I place
the order. I will be getting B&W film and am leaning toward verichrome pan.
Another of a few possibilities will be the bergger 200 film, but will partially
depend on price per foot. If anyone is interested let me know.

Candace,
Misunderstandings over messages sent by e-mail are an unfortunate byproduct of
the limitations of the technology. When written down and taken out of the
context of "reality", words often fail to express the true meaning or intent of
the speaker.
I think that you are a fine, contributing member of the list and would not mean
to attack anyone. Even so, I have seen this happen many times, some people have
shorter fuses than others, others have egos that get easily damaged and still
others think the world must listen only to their point of view (maybe that is a
variation on the ego thing) and still others simply try take things in and
learn from the experiences or at least experience them.
I don't have the answers myself either. People would have me be much more
rigorous about supervising the list and throw people off and not let them
resubscribe ... but I am (unfortunately or fortunately) not prepared to do
that. I will tolerate adults being adults ... within very broad limits.
Well, I am rambling ... Candace, don't get all bothered by this is my advice to
you. There are boors and diamonds on this list as well as in life in general.
Take the latter and avoid the former.
I am sorry for you having to deal with this issue in the first place.

this way I will be able to send the gallery some pictures. We live in a small

figure photography but on page 87 there is an article about Stephen Johnson who
they call a digital pioneer.
My question, Is there a fundamental difference between what you are doing what
Johnson is doing ? I mean separate from the fact that you have developed this
on your own and he is using digital technology made by Dicomed. He claims the

several photographers have mastered the art of hummingbird photography and
of light-triggered self-made images of flying birds, but not being that
technically motivated, I am looking for some other aspect of bird

Thanks for your comments on the use of flash. The answer is--get as close
as you can and use as much flash as you can--for my purposes, that is enough

Tienes razón en todo lo que dices pero se te olvida algo fundamental.
Fotored es un foro muuuuuuy especial. Se supone que de fotografía, pero en realidad
de fotógrafos. Hay más mensajes off-topic que on-topic. Tenemos un certamen
en el que no se compite. Y una expo itinerante en la que ni pagamos ni nos
pagan. Tenemos (al menos) un editor de una revista que no quiere hacer
publicidad directa de su medio de vida. Tenemos otros editores de revistas
que se apropian de las discusiones para publicarlas en sus medios de vida.
Tenemos un alienígena hermafrodita, a Ripley la de las bragas más buscadas.
Hubo una época en que había un inquisidor cibernético, un japonés suicida y
hasta varios trolls que se fueron (¡cuándo han visto a un troll
largarse!!!).
Hasta tenemos un objetivo fetiche, al que le hemos puesto de nombre "el
innombrable". Usted no lo conoció, pero tuvimos a un monje experto en
el arte de degustar cervezas, pero al mismo tiempo tenemos al Maloso
de las coronitas, a uno que salta verjas de cementerios y a un ser
intemporal
de apodo "El Pardo" y apellido "Menéndez". De vez en cuando, aparece la
rana Gustavo, aunque luego se va, y hasta tenemos a un participante que
gusta de firmar en minúsculas.
Total, que para cuando uno se acostumbra a la idiosincrasia del foro, la misma
idiosincrasia le atrapa y ya no puede escapar. Esa es la verdadera riqueza
de Fotored.
Saludos,
Santiago.

Hola, de Alejandro:

Si de lo que se trata es de discernir, creo que la única solución es la que se
ha dicho muchas veces: tener cuidado en la elección del asunto para que no deje
demasiadas dudas. Evidentemente, si un mensaje se titula "Goletas y galeones",
lo más probable es que sea off topic, aunque bien podria tratarse de una expo
fotográfica sobre este tema. En cambio, "OT: Goletas y galeones" probablemente
sea una interesante disquisición off topic de Don BeC sobre veleros, "Expo:
Goletas y galeones" no deja dudas sobre su contenido. Por otro lado, si un
mensaje se titula "Cappa", me parece que la mayoría creerá que es on topic;
mientras que otro titulado "La técnica del papel salado" tampoco va a hacer
pensar que sea un tratado de cocina mexicana.
En fin, que no se pueden poner puertas al campo, y que si damos por aceptada la
pluralidad temática de la lista y al mismo tiempo hemos de ser respetuosos de
los intereses de las minorías que no están demasiado de acuerdo con esto, nos
encontramos ante un dilema de solución contradictoria. El universo tiende al
desorden (entropía). Creo que Fotored forma parte inseparablemente del
universo.
Nos leemos.

He lets us show our confusion, our arrogance, our ethnocentrism, our
insecurity, our insanity, (why is it that the craziest guy ALWAYS wants to

sometimes, gladly, the Angels of our better nature. Out of this can come
knowlege of our medium, our selves, and each other. The last week has been a
celebration of decent and honorable exchange of views and knowlege, and

Andy, I wanted to say how much I enjoyed reading your article on strip
photography (on the panorama photo site). I tend to perfectionism and would
probably never have though of cranking the rewind knob to get that effect.
I didn't realize there was so much interest in panoramic photography. I can
see where the 3dQuickTime immersive panoramas have taken off. It's a big
thing with realty. I have admired the little APS cameras that give you that
format, but they do not have the quality my old SLR has.

Mr. Davidhazy: I was at your lecture today for science educators, I enjoyed the
demonstrations very much and hope to use some of your ideas in class. I
enjoyed looking at the pictures on the web site also, high speed photography
has interested me since I first saw it many years ago.
I noticed on the web that you worked with NASA, do you make astrophotos? That
is an area I am interested in trying also. I own an 8" SC telescope which
could be adapted for a camera. Any tips on how to begin and what (inexpensive)
equipment would be useful would be greatly appreciated.
The PPIC sounds like fun My students love to talk about UFO's and extra
terrestrial life, it's hard to make them understand how difficult space travel
would be. They'd rather believe Star Wars than science.
Thanks again for an interesting presentation.

Subject: The Crossed-Slit Anamorphoser
Andrew Davidhazy
Professor
Imaging and Photographic Technology
Rochester Institute of Technology
70 Lomb Memorial Drive, Rochester, NY 14623
Professor,
First of all, let me say huge thanks, gigantic thanks, exceedingly large format
thanks for a great website! I've been back again and again over the years to
explore the fascination corners of photography that only you seem to have.
Not done yet drinking from your well of experience and photgraphic wonder!
Now, I do have a question that I'm sure you must know the answer to. The
reference is from Rudolf Kingslake, who I'm sure you are very well aware of.
Hell, you probably know him and have him over the house for backyard barbeques
in the summer!
Now, I read in his "Optics in Photography" (SPIE 1992, from his "Lenses in
Photography" 1951 and 1963) in Chapter 3, page 64...
The Crossed-Slit Anamorphoser (following his section on The Pinhole Camera) -
An interesting device, credited to Ducos du Hauron, is the crossed-slit
anamorphoser. This is a modified pinhole camera in which the pinhole has been
replaced by a pair of narrow, perpendicularly crossed slits spaced apart along
the camera axis (Fig. 3.3). The horizontal scale of the picture is obviously
determined by fh [distance from horizontal slit to film plane], which is the
distance from the vertical slit to the film, but the vertical scale is defined
by the distance fv [distance from vertical slit to film plane] of the film from
the horizontal slit. The pair of slits working together thus constitutes a
pinhole camera in which the image is stretched or compressed in one direction
more than in the other. This type of distortion is called "anamorphic" or
"anamorphotic" and the degree of anamorphic compression can obviously be varied
over a wide range by merely changing the separation of the slits or by moving
the pair of slits closer to or further from the film plane.
Given your experience with slit scan, panoramic, peripheral and linear, as
well as pin-hole, just how wide do you suppose the slits should be? I'm
guessing that slit width should approximately equal pinhole diameter (for the
same focal length). Any ideas, or should I just start there? I just figure
you'd have to know. You appear to be one of the smartest cookies in the jar!
Thanks,
Michael Georgoff

PS: Do you have for sale copies of works like "Panning Peripheral Portrait
of Annie, 1990 or so "?
PSS: Do you know where the average guy might be able to buy prints of famous
works like Henri Lartigue's speeding racecar or Robert Doisneau's dancers?

Dear Mr. Davidhazy, Hello, my name is Stefan Davidson, I'm a fellow

have been very helpful to me in the past when I was looking for information on
RIT. I am a young amateur photographer who is very interested in going to a
photography school in the US. Unfortunately, my first choice RIT, was too
expensive for me as a International student(Canada). What I was wondering was
if you could suggest any schools in the North-Eastern US states that I may want
to look into(that are reasonably priced and have a good rep). A lady in NJ
suggested Cooper Union(in NY i think), have you heard of this school? I am
sorry to bother you like this, but being a professor in that part of the

Hola compañeros del foro:
Reciban un cordial saludo, quiero contarles algo sobre mi participación en
el foro, si bien no he intercambiado muchos mensajes, he estado visitando
varias páginas relacionadas con Fotored. Entre ellas la página de nuestro
moderador Andrew Davidhazy, la página de Fotored por supuesto, el Certamen
tan bien administrado por Jose Luis Vivas, el archivo de los mensajes en
Egroup, la página con los retratos de los miembros del foro, la página de
Encuentros, el repositorio, el Halo, Zona V, y el Webring de Fotored, y a
decir verdad estoy gratamente sorprendido de todo lo que ofrece esta gran
comunidad, a la cual empiezo a desarrollar un gran apego, estoy disfrutando
muchísimo de esta relación, me estoy divirtiendo y aprendiendo como nunca.
La página de los retratos me gustó me ayudó a "conocer" un poco más a los
integrantes de este faabuloso foro, definitivamente la imagen tiene un poder
de grandes alcances. Los Encuentros me dejaron un grato sabor de boca al
saber que Fotored no solo es intercambio de mensajes por correo sino mucho
más, significa también encuentros entre personas reales, compartiendo
experiencias. Me agrada mucho el ambiente de camadería y amistad que se
respira en el ambiente. El repositorio es un lugar de mucha utilidad,
gracias por compartir los retratos B/N los cuales bajé de inmediato a mi
disco duro, gracias a Sergio Rivero. El webring de Fotored es una excelente
idea ya que une varias páginas dde los miembros del foro que tienen páginas
web y tiene un directorio de los miembros enlazados, por el visité la página
de la Nave Nostromo en la cual me he divertido muchísimo con su sección de
"frases celebres" del foro además de apreciar su excelente fotografia
"Girona 1997", un saludo a Ricardo Pardo, y desde luego a Santiago G.H.
promotor del webring por tan brillante idea. El Halo. el sitio de Lucas
Riquelme es un sitio que ya conocía desde antes del foro y el responsable de
que yo me haya inscrito a Fotored. Es un sitio con un gran contenido y
diseño. Al fin pude ver las fotos de Lucas R., sus imágenes contienen un
gran lirismo, algo de lo que yo carezco, saludos a Lucas Riquelme. El
Certamen es también un gran lugar, desde luego al principio pensé que se
trataba de un concurso pero no me fué dificil descubrir lo contrario, al
cual envié una fotografía mía, "Caribe", personalmente me han gustado las
fotografías de Carles Nualart y de Mariano Roldán. Un cordial saludo a Jose
Luis Vivas por este sitio, me fascina su diseño, su claridad y su rapidez.
Como ven he dedicado gran parte de mi tiempo compenetrándome con Fotored,
quisiera tener más, estoy aprendiendo mucho y en verdad les digo que lo
estoy disfrutando.
A su salud.

SUCCESSFUL REFERRALS GET DINNER AS REWARD!
Several times in the past I have received tremendous cooperation and support
from all of you who are members of this distribution list. I am here to once
again ask for your assistance in disseminating information about this new
brainstorm. It has to do with doing something about "recruitment". Here goes:
I will reimburse ANYONE who is directly responsible for the addition of a new
student (from outside RIT) to the Imaging and Photographic Technology program
between January 1 and July 1, 2000 the expenses for a dinner for two (up to
$100 value) at any restaurant.
Just to be clear, this is not something that will be charged against any RIT
budget line. This is a personal project of mine to see if I can do something
personally to maintain or increase enrollment figures in my department. This
offer is limited to the first 7 "recruits" during that time period who will
need to provide a letter stating the direct connection between their decision
to enroll in the Imaging and Photographic Technology program and the referrer.
Referrers do not have to be RIT employees. Counselors, teachers, employers or
simply interested individuals from anywhere in the world are eligible. Our
Department URL is http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/ipt.html and is given here to
help you direct potential students there.
So, please help me get the word out! Bring a brand new student to Imaging and
Photographic Technology dept. of the School of Photographic Arts and Sciences
and win a free dinner! (BTW, internal transfers are worth a free lunch at the
College Alumni Union! ;-) - contact me for details at: andpph@rit.edu)
I hope you smile - thanks much for your understanding and cooperation ;-)

job. I'll hook up again from my new mail address.
I have especially enjoyed the knowledge you have brought to the group on
technical matters.
In particular, your articles on strip photography have opened up lots of
ideas to explore. The great thing is that the technical detail you give
enables me to cut straight to the chase, and rather than go through
experiments that fail (that admittedly are sometimes the source of joy) get
into experiments with a greater chance of success and with an understanding
of the issues involved.
Thanks for your help and generous willingness to share,
Regards,
Rob Garbutt.

I'm a first year MFA in Jeff Weiss's core class. I'm working on some

Hola: profesor Andres, mi nombre es María Rosalva Venancio Juárez, tengo 20
años, soy de Colima y actualmente estudio en la facultad de Letras y
Comunicación en la Universidad de Colima. Le escribo para felicitarlo por toda
su carrera que ha sido bastante amplia. En la escuela llevo la materia de
fotografía y apenas nos estan enseñando a tomar fotofrafías y me paso algo muy
curioso y más al ver su exposición en el internet, al ver la fotografía del
insecto a un lado de las flores, yo quería tomar una similar pero no resulto
sólo tome todo el paisaje y menos la mariposa, me gustaría que mediera un
consejo ó técnicas.
espero su respuesta pronto. rosalva

Subject: Web page
Andy, It has been a while since I have visited your web page and as usual was
delighted to find new images and content. The 'Improved digital strip Camera'
on the first page is great. It is amazing how well the images blend together
and how looking at if for a while one begins to piece it together as if it were
a strip Picasso or Kertez. Nice also to see some of the Emeriti exhibition
photos. No problem in picking out the Charles Arnold image. And that winter
shot of Charlie will remind me of what I am going to be missing this winter.
All the best,
Dr.Z

Subject: Re: Few Posts
Dear Colleagues: Without mentioning anyone in particular, I would like to see
less in the way of personal attacks and "attitude" on this list. I get more
than enough adolescent posturing from some of the high schoolers I have to deal
with. However, I'm aware that this list is essentially an open one and not
every member will agree with me. My suggestion for those that do is the
following: don't respond to flames or personal attacks - it only feeds the
beast. Stick to the discussion at hand and, if necessary, take it off the list.
Some of my most fruitful communications have been with members via private
email.
A final note: I know some people have left this list because of the tone it
sometimes takes on (we all know this because sometimes these individuals send a
final post saying so). My advice to anyone contemplating the same is to stick
with it. There are many people here who don't feel the need to indulge their
emotions. In short, the adults.
Best wishes to all and Andy, my hat's off to you. You must have the patience of
Job!
Richard

Subject: First digital infrared panorama
From a previous post with subject "Andy's Flashers"?

I'm not surprised what with all the demands put on Andy Davidhazy's
time that many could be attributed to him. Although the Big Shot is
one of the few Andy hasn't been up to, there are many others,
including a recent local photo-historical society mtg, where your
list owner took the time to provide the below-described, most
entertaining presentation.
A member of the audience, referring to one of the displayed images,
even suggested that it was probably the first digital infrared
panorama ever taken. Any nay-sayers out there?
You can view this image and information on the unique camera at
http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/text-better-scanner-cam.html
with another "improvised" example at his home site
http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/
BTW, at this meeting Andy was kind enough to bring a printer, along
with his laptop and unique camera, to provide hard copies. On the
way out, I noticed a long line forming with visitors getting their
hard copies autographed by him. I couldn't help but think that there
was yet another group putting their demands on Andy's time --
autograph seekers! I wonder if he has to put up with that in his
classes? :)

It is said that "Necessity is the Mother of Invention" and in this
lecture/demonstration Prof. Andrew Davidhazy of the School of
Photographic Arts and Sciences at RIT, will show how an inexpensive
print scanner can be converted into a rudimentary digital camera
suitable for digital experimentation in areas as diverse as panoramic
and peripheral photography, focal plane scanning photography, and
infrared photography.

Subject: Re: El asunto ese en Fotored
Andrés,
Quiero agradecerte personalmente el mensaje, y decirte que, probablemente,
tienes razón en todo. De todos modos, no tienes que convencerme, yo ya
estaba convencido de eso que me dices. Normalmente las cosas me resbalan un
poquito. Teniendo 300 alumnos que quieren siempre una fecha de examen
adaptada a sus necesidades particulares uno aprende a mandarlos a paseo
interiormente, esto es, a decir NO mientras piensas para ti "serás caradura".
Ocurre que ayer llevaba demasiadas horas en el despacho y que el día no
había sido todo lo productivo que debiera. Como eran las 21:30, lo único
que me faltaba era un patán criticando así que me tomé el gusto de
descargar mi tensión con él. Un poco de enfado, encauzado convenientemente,
puede ser bueno, en mi opinión. La lástima es que así se enrarece un poco
el ambiente del foro, y lo siento por eso.
Mira, Fotored no es perfecto. Pero ES gracias a ti. Gracias a tu esfuerzo
(grande o pequeño, qué más da) yo he conocido a gente maravillosa. Eso es
lo verdaderamente importante. En cuanto a mis aportaciones a Fotored son
ínfimas en comparación con las de otros suscritos, empezando por la tuya
que permites que exista.
Por cierto, estuve suscrito a Photoforum unos quince días y no me gustó
demasiado, supongo que me entretienen más los off-topic de Fotored :-).
Un saludo,
Santiago.
