@dutchothotmailcom My late professor's book came today... I hadn't read all of the preface when I was flooded with memories of some of Professor Frair's class lectures - like the Psychology of Photography and the use of "subliminal seduction" in advertising photography. And, Birthney Ardoin has to be related to Dr. Ardoin, who was the chairman of the communication department when I was there so very long ago. I'm very pleased with it! I ordered a used paperback, but they sent a used hardback (library copy) for the same price. It's in pretty good shape! More than a refresher - full of great information and technical stuff that is NOT in my old notes from class. Going to take one chapter at a time and apply it as I can. =)
@kvphoto Well, that can't be a bad thing! LOL! I don't know if 365 was the reason that I so strongly thought about my professor or not the day I googled him and found his obituary. I was saddened. Had no idea he'd written a book, but it's like having a little part of him just for myself. Google your professor! You never know what you might find. Not that you need any help with your photography. I look at my photos and most seem so "clinical" like I'm just documenting instead of expressing. Know what I mean?
@kvphoto BTW, I thought of you when I saw the library card pocket in the back of the book - last date stamped was June 26, 1994, from the Pensacola Junior College Library. =)
@marlboromaam the stamped cards & pockets takes me back to my youth... for the most part my libraries were all automated and we ditched the cards & pockets... now it is all about patron privacy.
