Aint-Bad Magazine - Call for Submissions - Issue No.7

Aint-Bad Magazine seeks photographic works that illustrate the quest to explore the final frontier.

“I am trying to convince people--not only the public, but lawmakers and people in power--that investing in the frontier of science, however remote it may seem in its relevance to what you're doing today, is a way of stockpiling the seed corns of future harvests of this nation... Advancing a frontier--history has shown--has advanced a culture ever since the industrial revolution got underway.”

- Neil deGrasse Tyson

Submission Fee $10

Call Ends August 31st, 2013

Volunteer for a great cause

I am working for the Salvation Army and we are organizing a carnival to get volunteers for the Christmas season and obtain Christmas presents for impoverished children. The carnival needs one photographer to take photos of children with Santa, as well as volunteers to paint children's faces. I was wondering if this could be posted to the announcements. attached is a flyer with addition info.
The carnival is at the baseball stadium at Daffin park.
August 7 from 4:30 - 6:00

How do we define landscape? How are photographs uniquely suited to capture the grace, horror and beauty of the places in which we live, work and play? This course examines photographic landscapes from the everyday to the extraordinary, from the serene to the surreal. Theoretical readings situate landscape photography within a larger framework of photographic history and criticism and explore various representations of landscape throughout the history of photography from 1839 until the present, with a special focus on American practitioners and places. Prerequisite(s): Any 700-level ARLH/ARTH course or permission of the department chair.
