For the Photo 101 class bring your point and shoot camera and a notebook. I will teach Available light and "Hot" light photography. With the new Florescent daylight balanced bulbs they are no longer hot, man the old ones were ovens. Also how to eliminate or control glare. Basic ways to get great, distortion free, photos of your art with basic gear. The class is 1/2 hour + Q&A See some of you Thursday, more Friday. See the rest Saturday! My Photography Studio's web site is iSimonPhotography.com There is a guitar portrait area. |

Hi John, I know time will probably be tight, but is there any chance we can do a binding channel cutting demo ? If needed I have a guitar to demo on. Thanks John A |

Thank you everyone - and of course both the Halls !! It was great to finally meet everyone face to face - good representation from Maryland I might add ! ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up") I hope John Kitchen can get some of his pictures up - I know he took some nice shots - so it would be good if we can review them ! (or censor them  )

To all that made it to the Open House, THANK YOU and Brenda and I want you to know how much we enjoyed the day. The General seemed to have a fan club of his own. Now I must thank some people. To the people that helped , Ralf Gotoweski , Mike Wendt , Pete Fornarucci, Jim and Cindi Hall , Dean Reinbold , John Lewis , Thanks , It was a big help . There were many that jumped in when they showed up , Sandy Rickert , You were a big help to Brenda and we wanted to say a special thanks , The General liked you too. To the presenters: Michael Dickinson , Dale Bartholomew , John Kitchen , Brian Howard , Thanks for sharing your information and talent. It was a great time for us to see so many of the guitars made by members of this forum and our customers . Todd Stock and his tribe were a lot of fun as always. It was good to see so many people sharing what they have learned. Again Brenda and I thank you for coming. Please if I missed anyone , it is an oversight from being overwhelmed Lastly Lance Kragenbrink for letting us post this info on the OLF. Thanks again John & Brenda |
