Visiting Ringling

I visited the Ringling School last week, they were extremely helpful, gave me a tour and discussed some of the same problems that we face here in NJ. They definitely have a different approach and seem to get as much or more from their staff as they do from their faculty.

Teaching from poolside... work... work... work... Oh, waiter, thank you, may I have another?

Looking for Suspects

I think I figured out one of the lighting scenarios last week, sometimes less is more.

Raising Kean

I was at Kean University last week. It's a curious place and it is amazing what you can learn by wandering the art building and talking to anyone you meet. I have to admit there is no substitute for an in-person visit and keeping in mind what you don't want to do as opposed to what you want to do. It is a necessity when you vistit other institutions to resist temptation!

Random Act

So my wife drops me off by the Ottauquechee River while she shops. I plug in the IPOD and I'm watching the fish rise. All is right in the world and it starts to rain. OK, I think, I can tolerate this till she comes back for me. then out of nowhere this guy appears and hands me a golf umbrella. He says, "Take this!" and leaves me - refusing to accept anything in exchange. I'm on a mission now, I figure the umbrella must get passed on.

Unbrella anyone?
