Examining the central visual field (VF) grey scale of the right eye alone may be confusing, as there is no specific pattern to the field defect. However, looking at the two grey scales together reveals a left central field defect, signifying optic neuritis. In this case, looking at the rest of the printout data (statistical package) may be useless, as it is designed to analyse glaucoma defects only.

Facing Florida: Self-Projecting Sunbelt Citizens
A Public Art Installation by Kai McBride
October 2008, midtown Manhattan, NYC
On the edge of New York's billboard district, artist Kai McBride smartly re-advertises the advertisers. Entitled "Facing Florida: Self-Projecting Sunbelt Citizens", the public artwork displays carefully-cropped photographs of Floridians who advertise themselves and their businesses on Sunshine State bus benches, bus shelters and billboards.
McBride's images join the hundreds of new billboards that arrive in Times Square each year. The billboards are juxtaposed against each other and the streetscape as they vie to capture the attention of passers-by. This visual contrast and contest is part of the sensory experience that tourists and New Yorkers expect of Times Square.
The 8th Avenue artwork accentuates the 100-year particular connections between New York and Florida. Millions of New York metropolitan area residents have relatives of all ages in Florida. For its part, Florida receives constant exposure to images and artwork from New York, but New Yorkers' Florida experience is limited to the occasional beach or Disney tourism or airline advertisement, Miami-themed TV shows and seasonal hurricane footage.
The Florida that McBride presents to New Yorkers with this installation explores the very American phenomenon of local roadside self-advertising.
The photographs of the community's smiling and earnest real estate agent, car dealer, beauty queen, lawyer and future homeowner are captured against the suburban strips that are part of the real Florida lifestyle. None of McBride's photographs are computer montages, but actual situations of portraits advertisements in the Florida suburbs.
Kai McBride was born in Hawaii, worked in North Carolina and recently received his MFA from Columbia University. He teaches at Queens College and Mercer College. For more information visit www.KaiMcBride.com.
This public artwork is sponsored by the Times Square Alliance with the support of Tishman Hotel & Realty LP. www.TimesSquareNYC.org
The pattern standard deviation (PSD) is the difference between the expected data (the straight line at the top) and the patient’s own data (the irregular line beneath it). The sum of the differences is here is 1.7 which reflects a much smoother hill of vision with a more normal pattern to the visual field.

Does not the very word ‘creative’ mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act – rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life – not death.”. ~ Berenice Abbott (July 17, 1898 – December 9, 1991)

This first brief requires you to play on the idea of gender reversal and visual puns. The brief is set to challenge and enhance work that you have created within your vintage-themed personal ‘style’ in the past. Themes of irony should run through a series of four images which are displayed collectively on one final piece to be submitted. You should interpret the brief in relation and response to recent practitioner’s work of a similar style.
Amongst other practisioners, I looked at the work of YBA's; Tracy Emin and Sarah Lucas for inspiration.
Each of the four images I created is based on or around a visual pun and/or gender reversal.
This is a favorite area for students to sit at a table. You can reach out and take a look at oddities or clip art or figure reference.

PHOTOGRAPHY CALLING!
09. October 2011 – 15. January 2012
Sprengel Museum HannoverSprengel Museum Hannover
IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE
LOWER SAXONY SAVINGS BANK FOUNDATION
PHOTOGRAPHY CALLING! is an exhibition of the works of 31 photographers on a floor area of over 2,000 square metres. Since HOW YOU LOOK AT IT in 2000, this exhibition is the first and only one to provide an all-embracing overview of artistic photography from the 1960s to the present day. The exhibition has been organized by the Sprengel Museum Hannover in collaboration with the Lower Saxony Savings Bank Foundation. Starting out from the Foundation’s collection of large groups of works by both American and European photographers, the only collection of its kind in Europe, the exhibition explores the history and perspectives of the ‘documentary style’ of photography.
PHOTOGRAPHY CALLING! constitutes yet a further step towards establishing Hanover as an important centre for artistic photography in the north of Germany.
The starting points of the exhibition are the works of Robert Adams, Diane Arbus, Lewis Baltz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, William Eggleston, Lee Friedlander, John Gossage, Nicholas Nixon, Martin Parr and Michael Schmidt. The artist photographers Rineke Dijkstra, Paul Graham, Thomas Struth and the photographers of the generations that followed, such as Jitka Hanzlová, Stephen Gill, Jochen Lempert, Elisabeth Neudörfl, Heidi Specker and Tobias Zielony, visualize the world with a style of photography that adheres strictly to the medium and yet is highly subjective. Max Baumann, Boris Mikhailov, Rita Ostrowskaja and Helga Paris extend the perspective with experiences of their own confrontations with different political systems, while Laura Bielau, Thomas Demand, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Andreas Gursky, Thomas Ruff, Wolfgang Tillmans and Jeff Wall use the documentary style of photography as a means of exemplifying the phenomena of visual perception. Many of the works are being exhibited for the very first time.
Integrated into the exhibition are three successive Project Rooms organized by three guest curators and each taking place for the duration of one month. They thematize three different methods of collecting and three different ways of using photography.
From 9.10. until 30.10.2011 the artist Thierry Geoffroy will investigate the idea behind the title of the exhibition – PHOTOGRAPHY CALLING! – and ask: Who calls whom and what, and for what purpose, and out of what interests? On 1.11.2011 Markus Schaden will be setting up a study room devoted to the photography book as a ‘storage medium’ and collector’s item. From 6.12.2011 until 15.1.2012 Wilhelm Schürmann will be exposing the obsessions that can be the driving force behind a private collection of photographs, graphics, paintings and sculptures.
In the run-up to the exhibition HOW YOU LOOK AT IT at the Sprengel Museum Hannover, which was curated by Thomas Weski and Heinz Liesbrock on the occasion of EXPO 2000, the Lower Saxony Savings Bank Foundation began to purchase comprehensive groups of works by selected American and European photographers. Since then, the collecting activity of the Foundation has been focused on those works of photography that may be understood to be in the tradition of the ‘documentary style’ (Walker Evans, 1903-1975) and have been exercising a strong influence on photography since the end of the 1960s. Thus it has been possible – thanks not least to the recommendations of a high-calibre advisory board – to build up a photographic collection distinguished by its concentration on groups of works. In this regard the collection is unique in Europe.
The Lower Saxony Savings Bank Foundation’s collection and its perspective are now to be the subject of the present exhibition, which is being mounted jointly with the Sprengel Museum Hannover and also in the context of the Museum’s own well-cultivated photography tradition, which began in 1979 and can boast exhibitions of such great exponents of photography as Karl Blossfeldt, El Lissitzky, Judith Joy Ross and Michael Schmidt, to name only a few of many, or the “SPECTRUM” International Prize for Photography of the Foundation of Lower Saxony. ‘Collecting’ manifests itself here as an open system that operates self-reflexively in the aforementioned Project Rooms and is future-oriented and discussion-friendly in the exhibition’s supplementary events.
PHOTOGRAPHY CALLING! is accompanied by a copious publication (Steidl, Göttingen). Visitors will also be offered a comprehensive information programme.
The exhibition has been curated by Inka Schube, Curator for Photography and Media Art, Sprengel Museum Hannover, and Thomas Weski, Professor of “Curatorial Cultures”, Academy of Visual Arts, Leipzig.

Stand up to racism
A racist offensive against refugees, migrants and Muslims is being pushed by some politicians and press. It is crucial we
respond to this by standing in solidarity against attempts to divide our communities. The appalling treatment of refugees across Europe and the staggering rise in anti-Muslim hate crimes must be challenged.
Let’s send a message that drives back the tide of racism, fascism, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism and the scapegoating of migrants and refugees – we say refugees welcome here and yes to diversity!
Join the Europe-wide UN Anti-Racism Day Demonstration when tens of thousands march across Britain, with major mobilisations in London, Scotland and Wales joining thousands in cities across Europe and around the world to say no to racism.
Stand Up To Racism has led some of the biggest anti-racist
mobilisations in Britain of the last decade, including the UN Anti-racism day demonstrations of 2014 and 2015 and the 100,000 strong Refugees Welcome demonstration on 12th September 2015."
