AUGUST 28 PITCH LIST

Well, it's that time again. Pitch time! We're already in print, and shots need shooting. I've included some first week stuff but we'll have another pitch list at the end of the week. Usually, Pitches will come out Mondays with supplemental pitches on Fridays. Weekly pitches will be updated on the blog. See below for those things you are interested in and send me a line. I am currently stuck in the middle of nowhere (Yale) with the rest of the team, so I apologize for my spotty responses over the weekend. I'll be back in the office Monday.

Like design? Like taking photo illustrations? Like just doing random things? Obsessive about grammar and punctuation? If you're any of the above, come by the office Wednesdays and Sundays and help us make the paper! it's a ton of fun with many hands, and we are producing the first year issue then! Bring your computer and come see how it's made.

Again, if you're interested in meeting up, I'm often bored in the office. text/email me and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Football Home Opener
Photographer: Open
Time: Sunday Sep. 4 @ 1pm
It's a big game. New coach (he won a National championship with UBC back in '97), new prospects, and it's against UofA. Great game. Bring the big guns as it's a stretch with the glass.

Minnesota-UBC Basketball
Photographer: Open
Time: Thursday Sep. 2 @7pm
Place: War Memorial Gym
This will be a great game against a US team. With UBC joining the NCAA this game should tell us a little bit about the competition down south. High ISO, Wide-open glass. Mid range glass will do.

Women's Soccer Preview
Photographer: Open
Time: Sep. 2 @ 8pm
Place: Thunderbird Park Turf
The women's team is taking on Surrey United (Premiere level). The women's team does fairly well here, so this should be a fun, hard-hitting game.

Simon Fraser Player
Photographer: Open
So apparently a few players have been switching to UBC to stay in Canadian leagues. We're writing a bit about that. It's Sportrait time with this shot, so get creative!

Caught Peeking!
Photographer: Open
So you may have heard a few employees were disciplined for jumping past a few NSFW warnings. We're using this issue to open up a broader case of privacy issues on Campus. I need someone to knock off a photo illustration of this. Someone illuminated by their screen would be a great shot. These photo illustrations require a little more work, but are worth it in the end.

Get working
Photographer: Open
Workout places across campus. This isn't imperative that it happens right away, but it needs to happen soon. A great afternoon of walking around campus and shooting fluff shots of the campus gyms and fields. I'll be sending two people out on this, so ask and you get to meet up with a fellow photographer!

Cappuccino on Campus
Photographer: Open
We need someone with an eye for a good cup of coffee and the mouth to coax a cute barista to make some coffee all pretty. Find a table by a window, shoot a beautiful backlit cappuccino.

FIRST WEEK

Imagine it!
Photographers: OPEN, OPEN, OPEN
Time: Tuesday Sep. 7, 8:30am-6pm
Imagine day is the first day of en masse students. You're there, you're not a first year, and you're bored? Come take photos for us! We're doing awesome cool things like time-lapse, catwalks, general journalism, landscape, etc. This is a great day to get involved with the team and cover this campus. I have to focus on recruitment for this entire week so I will be depending on you guys.

Grad Art Expo
Photographer: Open
Time: Thursday Sep. 9, 7-10pm
It's an Art show. Make someone look interesting. Although with UBC FA, anything could be there. Try and find something interesting and include more than the art (The surroundings, tell a story).

Welcome Back BBQ
Photographer: Open
Time: Friday Sep. 10, 4pm onwards
Music, beer, shows, all in all a good time. We get you in and you get us pictures. Another thing we'll probably send a few people on. It's a good time and you're gonna be there anyways, so bring your camera and make the Ubyssey proud.

Born Ruffians Show
Photographer: Open
Time: Saturday Sep. 11, 8pm
See a show, shoot for 15 minutes. It's a pretty good gig. Must be focused to get this. Bring the fast glass - the Pit is a light whore.
