Dear Classmate, It Seems Like Only Twelve Years Ago That We Were Dear Classmate, It seems like only twelve years ago that we were seniors at Penn, relaxing on – wait, that doesn’t sound right. Behold, fellow classmates, for I bring thee tidings of joy. Yea – a new technology hath sprung forth to – no, no, try again. Apparently, there’s this new thing that everyone’s talking about, called the IN-TER-NET. Boy, it’s tough to herald a new technology that’s been around for years. Anyway, Penn has moved boldly online, and we finally have a web site with space dedicated specifically for the Class of 1990. Once you have joined Penn’s On- Line Community, you can use this site to keep your contact information up-to-date, find other classmates, or submit a newsnote to be published on-line in the next newsletter. To say that a lot has happened over the last twelve years is a significant understatement. It is our hope that you will use this site to keep fellow alumni up to date, and rekindle relationships that may have suffered because of the overwhelmingly tedious task of writing in longhand and licking stamps. We are all part of the Penn family, and those connections are worth keeping. To that end, I encourage all of you to take a little time to stay in touch. If you or a classmate you know has recently done something exciting, traveled, or just has news to share, please let us know. It is so easy, and the effects are long-lasting. With your help, these newsletters will become an integral part of our ongoing communications. Finally, if you haven’t been back to Penn lately, you should. Much has changed since the days of Reagan/Bush (sounds weird to say, doesn’t it?), and it is worth seeing. This year Penn will play Brown during Homecoming Weekend on November 2nd. For any additional information, please contact the Office of Alumni Relations at (215) 898-7811 or [email protected]. Best regards, Kyle Kozloff, W’90 Class President A-E | F-J | K-O | P-Z John Allen, C’90, writes, “Mary and I have recently moved to Tewksbury, N.J. where we love the more rural feel of that part of the state. I am still working for a technology consultanting firm in NYC while Mary works full time at home raising our three and a half year old twins, Winston and Charles.” Michael Andretti, C’90, e-mails, “never sent an update to The Gazette before but figure there are old friends of mine out there somewhere who would want to know what I have been doing for the last 11 years. Not much of a story: after graduating, spent two years traveling in Europe and Asia, and doing odd jobs to pick up spare cash to live and travel some more. The only memorable occasion (other than traveling itself) was working as a tour guide for a whitewater-rafting company in Australia in the summer of 1991: pretty exciting. Anyway, came back to my native Chicago in 1992 and, for lack of anything better to do, took a job at a coffeehouse-bakery. To shorten the story down, I opened my own place doing the same thing, called The Double Cross Bun, in Orland Park (Chicago suburbs) in 1995; we opened a second location in Schaumburg in 1999. I got married to Annaliese Burkhardt in 1999 also, and we’re living in Chicago with two cats and a ridiculously huge collection of CDs and LPs, the product of both of us being incorrigible music lovers. Old friends can contact me at [email protected].” Zoee Astrachan, C’90, GLA’93, and Andrew Dunbar GAr’94 are principals of the San Francisco-based firm Interstice; founded in 2000, it focuses on urban architecture and landscape, and material research.

And their work has recently been featured in the SFAIA’s Small Firms, Great Projects, and in Zyzzyva, a publication that highlights emerging San Francisco architects.

Barnes, C’90, GEd’91, <[email protected]> e-mails, “I recently completed my Ph.D. in clinical psychology. I also completed requirements for New York state school-psychologist certification. I accomplished all of this at Hofstra University, Hempstead, N.Y. I am currently employed as a counselor at Polytechnic University’s Farmingdale and Brooklyn campuses.” Howard Berman, C’90, writes “my Ode to the Psychotic Episode, poetic rendition of my to date three psychotic episodes since graduating from college appears in Volume Six Issue One of Constructivism in the Human Sciences. It is my first, though not last work. I welcome feedback especially from Psychology and English majors, and assure everyone I'm doing well in life.” Connie Blumenthal, C'90, writes, “My husband (Alan Rissberger) and I have been living in North Carolina for the past 6 years, and this past June (2001), our beautiful boy Eli was born. I have started a new job in public health at UNC, which I am enjoying a lot.” Meeka Jun Bondy, C’90 has recently joined the AOL Time Warner Interactive Video Group as their VP, Legal Affairs.

  • FRITZ TRAUTMANN: TEACHING and COLOR THEORY Excerpts from Fritz Trautmann’S Writings on Art, Memorial Art Gallery Archives
    FRITZ TRAUTMANN: TEACHING AND COLOR THEORY Excerpts from Fritz Trautmann’s writings on art, Memorial Art Gallery Archives “In works of art, the ‘spirit of the age’ is always subordinate to the spirit of the ages.” PRIMARY COLORS: “The three primary colors are red, yellow, and blue.” This is a truism that is not true. It is not only false, it is impossible. The physical structure of the eye disproves it. But, first, consider the practical business of mixing paint. I mix the red with the yellow. I am supposed to get orange; but what I get is not a clear pure orange, it is dull, degraded orange. I mix the blue with the yellow. A similar unsatisfactory result; the green is dirty instead of brilliant and clear. What caused the partial neutralization in both cases. Yellow was the common factor involved; therefore there must have been some element in both the red and the blue that was the exact opposite or complement of yellow. It could not have been a mixture of the red and the blue, because the degrading occurred when they were used separately. What, then, is the opposite of yellow? For the moment, let’s call it X. Then, as the separate operations produced some neutralization, it follows that some X must have been present in both the red and the blue. But if this is true, the red was not a primary red, but red plus X; and the blue was not a primary blue, but blue plus X. According to the rule, I am supposed to mix the red with the blue in order to get violet or purple or something that will be opposite or complementary to yellow.

  • Color Correction - It's All About the Red and the Blue to Get White
    Color Correction - It's all about the red and the blue to get white By Ted May A long time ago a man named Lord Kelvin was heating a carbon ribbon referred to as a "black body radiator." As the carbon was heated, Lord Kelvin was noting the color change and assigning a degree system as a reference to the visible col- ors changes. Think of the heating element on your range top. It is blackish grey until you turn on the current, then it starts to glow a dull cherry red, much the same as lord Kelvin's black body radia- tor. The color becomes a bright red, then orange at top output. Imagine heating the carbon ribbon much higher than any range top element, the car- bon will go through many subtle color changes, through the reds, oranges, yellows, until it becomes white hot, luminous and radiates energy in the visible spectrum as light. This is the way Thomas Edison's early carbon filament lamps pro- duced light by heating the filament until it glowed bright enough to produce light. This is called incandescent, the basis for all tungsten filament based lights we use today. Color temperature is accurate when we refer to an incandescent source measured in degrees Kelvin which is like Fahrenheit or Centigrade, actually Kelvin is Centigrade (Celsius) plus 273 degrees. Diagram 1.1 A match flame is approximately 1700 degrees Kelvin. A can- dle flame is about 1850. A 100-watt light bulb runs around 2900 degrees Kelvin. Quartz Halogen studio lamps produce 3200 degrees Kelvin which is the usual norm for what we refer to as "tungsten balanced." Tungsten balanced light has more red content.
