I saw these people and stopped them to take their picture. They were so happy to pose and I was just as happy to take the photo.

hey buddies,
I remembered this tool I used to play with a lot online and thought you'd all enjoy it (BECAUSE IT'S SO FUN)

It searches flickr and pulls up photos only with the color that you choose in it. But! You're not limited to one, you can choose more (up to 10) and it finds the ones with those schemes in it.
it's a really lovely tool, please try it for a bit!

A few people will be presenting their color talks - Jazzy, Carolyn and Meagan.

Also - take out your trusty date books and please mark the following:

Dan Conrad, artist, former physics educator and MICA alumnus (Hoffberger 1981) will give a presentation about the science of color, sound and light in Falvey Hall on Wednesday, 31 March - 2:15-3:45.

Please plan to attend (we are all expected to be there) and prepare to be amazed and intrigued!

And how about this here blog. It is so sadly neglected - after all of the love it has given us!
