week's session
As an homage to the theme used in the "A Day in the
Life of ..." series of photography books, this assignment
is for the class to spread out to different venues on the
UC Berkeley campus at the same time for about an hour".
Everyone should meet first in 405 Soda at 4:10 pm for an organizational

During that beginning organizational period this Thursday,
there will be a demonstration about basic ambient lighting

I found out that black and white slide film indeed
exists! There is one made by Agfa that is called Scala,
available as ISO 200, but supposedly extremely fine
grain. If any adventurous students want to try this,
they could report back to us on this!

Welcome to the CS 39J homepage, the centralized place for
information pertaining to the seminar "The Art and Science
of Photography", taught this spring of 2002. We are affiliated
with the Computer Science
Division at the University
of California, Berkeley. Without the great support from
the people at EECS
Instruction, much of the technology that drives this seminar
wouldn't be possible.
