Stanford University Development Project and the General Use Permit Application County of Santa Clara Planning Commission Hearing #2 Thursday, June 13, 2019 / 1:30 PM Isaac Newton Senter Auditorium, 70 West Hedding Street, San Jose, CA 95110

WHAT ABOUT TRAFFIC CONGESTION?

Stanford University is proposing to add more than 3.5 million square feet of new development. The project is the largest ever to be reviewed by the County of Santa Clara in its 169-year history.

If approved, the project could increase Stanford University’s campus by 20% and add 9,610 new people to the campus upon completion of the development.

ABSTRACT JUDGE’S COMMENTS One of the things I love about the abstract catego- ry is the immense amount of creativity that comes through from photographers as they interpret the world in unique ways. From applying techniques like multiple exposures and inverting negatives, or experimenting with how light and shadow fill a frame — abstract photography has a way of making us see the world a little differently. It was a delight to see Laurie Naiman’s approach of photographing a fork and napkin on a countertop interpreted into a noir-like image, which had me dwelling on it for quite some time. From the sharp angles of light hitting the counter to the slightly sin- ister shadow cast by the fork — the image conveys a sense of mystery and suspense. Scheidt’s image was also a unique capture of a regular object. At first glance, one does not quite know what they are looking at: Is it a mural of a perfectly sunlit sky filled with clouds or a window of some sort? Only after staring at it for some time, did I realize it was a light fixture perfectly framed from beneath looking above. I love how this image surprised me and how it invites us to pay more at- tention to everyday objects. — Veronica Weber

ADULT WINNER ‘Hitchcock’s Fork’ by Laurie Naiman “I captured this with my iPhone while waiting for dinner at an outdoor cafe in Mountain View. It was sundown, and I was attracted by the strong shadows cast by the fork on the napkin. The monochrome and ‘noir’ ren- dition was created in post-pro- cessing. This evoked the title.”

YOUTH WINNER ‘Light’ by Clara Montero Scheidt “This photo was a bit of an experiment because it was simply a light on a wall — but something about the perspective of this photo is unique and makes it appear less like a light on a wall and rather a light in CAPTURED IN A CLICK IN CAPTURED the middle of the sky.”

JUDGE’S COMMENTS Geoffrey Brooks’ “Pristimantis Rain Frog At Night” image is a beautifully lit capture of a rain frog sitting still against a pitch-black nighttime backdrop. The soft diffused light of flash envelopes the creature, highlighting its vibrant colors of rust orange, light green and earth brown and its delicate leopard-like pattern on its arms and belly. I especially loved the composition of this image which was taken at a slightly lower level so that the animal sits poised above the photographer, leaving the viewer to truly appreciate the creature’s distinct features.
