Teaching Old Tricks To New Dogs

[KristiSanger]

I am interested in this topic for the class but have never participated in a Super Monday class, how do they work? It this an on-line thing? I would also be interested in the image gallery Art was referring to if I can't make the class.

Thanks, Kristi

Kristi, Super Monday classes are held in various places around the country on a variety of topics. You may have one in your area as well. They are held at a location, generally the host studio. I have a gallery on my to-do list and will share that soon!

I hope you will be incorporating a focusing spotlight in it using shadow cookies which was prevelent back then. You can also use a spotlight as your key light.

Hi Jackie:

I'm in Rockford and would love to see your class. Just suppose someone needed an excuse to buy a shadow cookie or spotlight, could you put it into your class?

Gee, Scott, I guess so.... since you will be coming all the way from Rockford... LOL

Of course, though we may decide to just make our own.... Hmmmmm......

I think I'll have to dig into the old attic to see if I can find that Chuck Lewis thingy my buddy and I used to have. Attach it to any light, but turn the modeling light off from time to time... it's made of cardboard and it WILL burn. Now what was it called... Ah YES the Adapt-a-Spot! Anybody remember these?

I think we had an Adapt-a-Spot at one time too till it caught fire!

I think Gary would be interested in your class. Maybe he could take the class and I could come and socialize. We could stop at my parents house in the Chicago suburbs on the way. Sounds like a possible road trip!

Jackie,

That sounds like a really cool Super Monday program, I wish I was closer to Normal!

Don - Don't keep wishing you were closer to Normal, we like you just the way you are! Lol. On the other hand - maybe we'd all be better off if we were a little closer to Normal! Jackie is right smack dab in the middle of Normal, and she is anything but!

Hi group;

I would like to suggest a new thread be started under Portraits. I'm not sure what to call it but any photos posted would have the look of the 30's and 40's as well as those utilizing a spotlight and cookies.

Hi Anne;

I had one of those I got at a "Cheap Chuck" seminar with Chuck Lewis. When I assembled it I painted it with the black engine paint recommended so it never caught fire. But I did buy a good focusing spotlight as soon as I could. Cardboard and rubber bands never gave me much confidence.

Gee, Craig, what a great idea! In the tradition of "he who proposes, disposes," I'd say that you should take this idea and run with it. I can't wait to see what images you use to seed the topic and inspire others.
