You may not have realized it when you grabbed this off the stands, but the magazine you hold in your hands is the only copy in existence. Of the 10,000 magazines Reporter printed this week, no two are exactly alike. What you see before you is something truly unique; literally, it is one of a kind. How DID we DO IT? On April 9, 11, and 14, Reporter set up stations in the lobbies of the SAU, Nathaniel Rochester Hall, and Building 70. At each of these stations, our photographers pulled aside passersby and shot their portraits on a white background. The only requirement was that they have an RIT ID card to scan, and that they give consent to use their portraits. In the 27 hours of shooting that were covered, SATURDAY, MAY 3 several hundred portraits of RIT students, staff, and faculty were taken. 10AM–4PM To handle the massive amounts of data, our Online Editor, Chris Zubak-Skees, wrote software to combine information from the scanned IDs and the photos from tethered capture of the portraits. The software put the images into folders sorted by University ID numbers.
