Luminance, Light and Ray
This was an interesting reading. For the most part I understood what the <> were doing, however at first I was a little unsure if I should be reading them or not. It was interesting to see the different ways of explaining luminance, light and ray. One of my favorite parts throughout the reading was the part he talks about luminance in reference to animals that glow. Not only how do they glow, but do they really glow throughout the day and we just can't tell because it's light out, or do they stop glowing throughout the day and only glow at night. Depending upon the surrounding background and it's value of "darkness", you can see the animal glowing easier. Do they have a weaker glow during the day and use less energy, or do they use the same amount all the time?

The Lance
Greetings everyone,
I'm Lance T Flores (and yes, some of my friends call me "Lance T Flores") and I am from Colorado Springs, CO. My nationality is Hawaiian, Guamanian, Greek, German, Spanish and Chinese. I was born in Germany due to my dad being in the Army, but have pretty much grown up in Colorado Springs. I am a transfer from Pikes Peak Community College back in Colorado, and transferred in as a junior in graphic design last Fall. So, this is my last semester here at KCAI as I will be graduating in May (assuming I pass). I have a blog of process work from the past year and a half if anyone is interested in my graphic design work or thinking about majoring in it. (lanceflores.blogspot.com) I'm really into vintage things whether it be graphic design posters, containers, matchbooks, or even briefcases. I own lots of things that are random and different, and also a ton of things from Starbucks...where I work.
As for my goals for this class, the obvious one is to pass (passing in my book is at least a B). I have read some philosophers from the Western Thought II class and some from high school, but in general is difficult for me to remember who has what concept. I am hoping that this class, based on the structure, will help me gain a better understanding and possible appreciation about the philosophers. I'm interested to learn about why we see how we do...
