SEASON'S GREETINGS
from Dean Emeritus Lothar Engelmann
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year!
The weather forecast for the next weeks says just ÒWinterÓ for Germany. How far that includes the normally milder
Cologne area remains to be experienced. Anyway, we are ready for the holiday visits of our friends and relatives.
Daughter Bettina will arrive on the 22nd from Cincinnati.
As the photo (taken from our terrace) indicates, the Rhein river still flows in all its beauty and majesty next to our house,
which always gives us confidence that the world is basically still sound.
We still very much enjoy our life, although in terms of health it offers its challenges. Fortunately our physicians ( mostly in the
Hospital only 8 minutes by foot from us) treat us exceptionally well, and thanks to the - costly Ð blessings of the pharmaceutical
industry, we have a reasonably good grip on our well being.
Naturally, especially during this holiday season, we not only miss son Randy and family, but also our many friends in the USA.
We never discount the possibility of seeing each other during the course of the year.
Greetings and best wishes, Lothar and Waltraud

 Media
Café Courses: Moving Media 1
Yes You Can Take a 6pm Class
Students taking this tools course
will work with still photographs, electronic images, video footage, and
camera recorded sound to create new work that merges the disciplines of
photography and video. Students will use media software to produce work
that weaves still imagery and time based work into moving media
canvases. The emphasis is experimental. We will view contemporary work
from the 400 pieces in the Café collection.
Students will work Sony digital cameras and with Final Cut software,
learning how to apply basic editing techniques, filters, color
correction, titles, and basic sound manipulation.
Students will explore traditional narratives, nontraditional
narratives, conceptual constructions, and performance. They will work
with traditional photography processes, electronic media, and
projection equipment to create and display their projects. Each student
will produce a final project for public presentation in the Media
Café during the final week of class.
Moving Media 1 is the foundation course in a
yearlong offering of the revised Media Café Curriculum. It is
open to all third and fourth year students with experience in digital
imaging. PJ and AD students are welcome and invited to work on projects
that pertain to their concentration.

25th BIG SHOT in
Washington, DC
at the Smithsonian's National
Museum of the American Indian
Hundreds Shine their Lights in Washington, D.C. for RITÕs 25th
Big Shot Photograph
Nighttime image features SmithsonianÕs National Museum of the
American Indian
Families, friends and strangers united on the National Mall in
Washington, D.C.,
tonight to make Rochester Institute of TechnologyÕs 25th Big
Shot photograph.
RITÕs Big Shot project began in 1987 and draws hundreds of
willing volunteers no
matter what city or country it occurs.
The SmithsonianÕs National Museum of the American Indian, which
opened its
flagship museum five years ago this month, is the subject of the
nighttime
image. The Washington Monument is in the background. Perched on 15-foot
high
scaffolding, RIT photographers captured the landscape of our
nationÕs capital.
Despite rainy conditions, tonightÕs event drew more than 800
volunteers.
Families from the Washington, D.C., area joined museum members and RIT
students,
faculty and alumni. The making of the Big Shot photograph requires the
volunteers, using only flashlights and camera flash units to provide
the primary
light source. It is often described as a Òpainting with
lightÓ photograph,
because while RIT photographers shoot an extended exposure of 20
seconds,
volunteers continuously paint the subject area. The limestone exterior
of the
museum was quarried from Kasota, Minn., and is a warm buff color that
has
several textures to suggest the building grew out of the surrounding
landscape.
Volunteers broke into lighting teams with each team assigned a specific
area of
the landmark to illuminate. For tonightÕs image, 11 lighting
teams were needed.
In addition, eight volunteers from RIT and the museum served as models,
taking
position in the foreground to offer the photo a sense of scale.
Among tonightÕs rookie volunteers were RIT President Bill
Destler and his wife
Rebecca Johnson.
ÒWe were excited to be a part of this rich RIT tradition and see
so many members
of the RIT campus take part including our RIT alumni who traveled here
from all
over the country,Ó says RIT President Bill Destler. ÒWe
are proud to be sharing
our 25th Big Shot with this national landmark that is a cultural
embassy to
Native Americans everywhere.Ó
The RIT Big Shot event is part of the museumÕs fall celebrations
for its fifth
anniversary.
ÒIn spite of the rain, families, friends of the museum and RIT
alumni showed up
with flashlights in hand,Ó says Kevin Gover (Pawnee/Comanche),
director of the
SmithsonianÕs National Museum of the American Indian. We are so
proud to be part
of RITÕs Big Shot.Ó
Faculty members Michael Peres and Bill DuBois from
RITÕs School of Photographic
Arts and Sciences and Dawn Tower DuBois from RITÕs
National Technical Institute
for the Deaf are the main organizers.
RITÕs Big Shot photography project began in 1987 and has drawn
thousands of
volunteers and spectators. Past Big Shot photos have captured national
and
international landmarks including the U.S.S. Intrepid, the Royal Palace
in
Stockholm, Sweden, and George Eastman House International Museum of
Photography
and Film. To view all past 25 Big Shot photographs, visit

National Press Photographers Association
will present the organization's top honors and awards for the year
during the Sprague Awards Dinner on Saturday at the conclusion of
Convergence '09 at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, NV, and winners
this year include industry leaders, who are changing the face of
photojournalism in the new era of multimedia, as well as educators who
are preparing college students for journalism's rapidly-changing
future.
Professor Gunther Cartwright of the Rochester Institute of
Technology is the winner of the Clifton C. Edom Award. The award
recognizes an individual in the tradition of Cliff Edom to inspire and
motivate members of the photojournalism community to reach new heights.
Edom taught at the University of Missouri for 29 years, founded the
Missouri Photo Workshop six decades ago, and is credited with coining
the term "photo-journalism." Gunther is being recognized for his
continued support of photojournalism and its future and, as a nominee
wrote, for being "beloved by his students who view him as a tough, but
positive, influence on their growth as visual journalists."

Robert McNeely
a special guest at Eastman
Kodak this week
Tuesday, March 10th, 3-4 PM
at RIT's building 07A, room 1400
Robert McNeely is an American photojournalist and Vietnam veteran. He
chronicled President Clintons march to the White House. For the next
six
years, each morning he would shoot in black and white (other members of
the
White House photo staff shot in color), in order to make a historic
record
of virtually every meeting, every detail of the presidents daily life.
In 1998, McNeely left his job at the White House to set up a project to
document the 2000 political race. From Republicans to Democrats to
Reform
Party candidates, Bob has spent most of the past year on the road
covering
them all. His exhibit, The Clinton Years documents McNeely?s
photographs
of President Clinton. The book on this project has been released by
Callaway. (Source- Digital Journalist

Wednesday, February 11, 2009, at 7:30
PM

A short documentary presentation

Micro-Enterprise course in
Chillakallu that provides widows, the most vulnerable members of
society in
the developing world, with valuable vocational training in tailoring
and home based business
skills. Upon graduation, each student receives a sewing machine and may
become a
self-employed seamstress. As a result of this course, the sense of self
dignity and role in
community these women once held is restored.
