I buy all my film-related things at B+H Photo. It’s in NYC so shipping can be an issue, but it’s free over $99 USD. They have a huge selection new and used equipment.

Instead of a taking a selfie, use your phone to solve the mysteries of the universe.
Turn your phone into a particle ray detector! Two physicists who work at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland are creating an app that transforms smart phones into particle ray detectors.
Read about their project.
Join the project!
#Physics not selfies (can we make that a thing?)

Turning time into space? What the what what?
Researchers at Washington University (St.Louis, Missouri) have created a camera that could take a hundred billion pictures in a second, enough to record the speed of light, the fastest phenomena in the universe.
Now, that’s Instagram. (Drum roll please…I’ll be here all week.)
Biomedical engineer Lihong Wang, the head of the Washington University research team that invented the camera, explains “For the first time, humans can literally see light pulses traveling in space at the speed of light,” Wang said.
A video captured by Washington University’s Lihong Wang’s new imaging system, known as “compressed ultrafast photography,” shows a laser pulse propagating in air and being reflected from a mirror. The movie is slowed down 10 billion times to make it visible to the human eye. (Video courtesy of Washington University in St. Louis)
Read more about the Ultrafast camera here.
Welcome back, photographers! Let’s make the invisible, visible.
Having issues registering for SART 3600—Digital and Non-Silver Photography? Don’t worry!
I’m posting this on behalf of Susan Dobson.

Dear photo students,
For those of you trying to register for the Digital and Non-Silver course for next semester, you may have noticed on Web Advisor that the course shows as being closed and has no students enrolled. This is due to an administrative error – apparently someone entered the class-time as 2:20 – 3:20 instead of 2:20 – 5:20. The situation is being corrected and you will still be able to register for the course, although you may have to wait until the ADD period to do so. Anyone who has registered for the course already will be guaranteed a spot in the course when it re-opens. I will keep you updated with specific instructions once I hear more from the administration.
Sorry about the hassle, but don’t worry – this course will be offered for W15 at the following time:
Tues/Thurs 2:30 p.m. – 5:20 p.m.
More information will be forthcoming from me and from the administration. In the meantime, feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Best,
Susan Dobson

Hello Photographers!
I hope you’re having a good summer. Do you remember what you last photographed with your smart phone? There’s a reason for that.
Listen to this interview, which kicks off a series, about the connection between memory and photography.
Also, a reminder to get to Toronto and see the Contact Photography Festival before the end of May.
Don’t forget to check out the Photo IV show next week at Boarding House and Ed Video.
