Lighting With Deep Parabolic Reflectors
Saturday, November 7, 2015, 10am to approx 5pm
I've always been a fan of BIG softboxes. Go big or go home, right? Deep parabolic softboxes are beasts (59 inches, anyone?), and provide an amazing, beautiful quality light wrapping around the subject. However, they are not the easiest ones to shoot. It's almost a little intimidating when you take this thing out of the box. We just got a couple in the studio, and let me tell you: It's really hard to argue with the results, and – for me – they have become a go-to softbox for all kinds of applications, both inside and outside.
In this one-day hands-on workshop, we will have models, pizza, and plenty of opportunity to shoot and socialize with other photographers. Not only will you learn the characteristics of deep parabolic reflectors, how to exploit them to the max and achieve absolutely stunning and gorgeous results, we will also talk about brands, buying guides, and shoot the models both inside and outside (weather permitting)
The workshop will take place on Saturday, November 7, 2015, from 10am to approx 5pm. Cost is $200. We will start in the studio with some theory, and start shooting as soon as possible. After lunch, we make our way outside to shoot at one or two locations in Gastown or at the beach.
After the workshop, you are welcome to hang out for some post processing tips and tricks, or to socialize over a variety of alcoholic or non alcoholic beverages.

They are particularly useful if you lose a key or if a door lock breaks. Locksmiths have the tools, techniques and the knowledge to open doors when you may have locked yourself out or misplaced your keys.

5. Be sure to ask the locksmith service you choose if they are insured because if any of your property is damaged while the locksmith is repairing the lock or their poor workmanship makes you home insurance is null and voided then at least you are covered.
Car Locksmiths
Locksmith services are very important and they range from lock installations to lock repairs and even maintenance of locks. A good locksmith knows how to open locks, maintain and repair door closure systems, cut keys and even assist in determining methods to adjust or change locks and keys. As a locksmith, using the wrong tools for the business can be damaging and costly to the customer. With the right tools for the right duty in the business, you will be able to get the job at hand done properly, easily and without any damages. And for this, you will need to have all important tools.
Shim - It is a thin metal piece that is inserted into locking mechanism and can be very helpful in rekeying locks without keys. The shim when used properly loosens lock mechanism making the task at hand possible. Always go for good quality shim that will not snap off or bend when in use.
Tension wrench - They are necessary picking locks, especially tumbler and pin locks. The pins insides locks can be tiny and precisely placed and without the right tension wrench it can be hard to hold or plug when racking the pins. Picking is made quite simple by the right tension tool.
Locksmith tweezers - They are some of the most important tools necessary, especially when changing lock components. The tweezers pick and insert pins and the grooves are what you need to pay attention to when buying the tweezers because they determine how easy the task will be. The groves are on tip curves of the tweezers. It is also important to get non-magnetic tweezers to keep off unwanted metal bits out of the way when working on the lock.
Pick set - A full set will come in handy for different locks and is especially useful for times when someone has been locked out. The most commonly used picks are hook, rake and diamond so make sure you have these to make your lock tasks easier to handle when services are needed the most.
Pick gun - It is a preferred tool by most locksmiths because it eliminates the need to figure out the proper pin line up in a lock. With the insertion of a steel rod, the gun hits all locking pins at the same time in the same direction, allowing the locksmith to turn lock using tension wrench. If you are looking for a quick but accurate way of helping your customers, then the pick gun is what you will need to have.
Lock plug follower - A follower is a metal tube designed to remove the core of the lock easily. Without a follower, you will end up loosening pins and springs making putting together of the core extremely difficult. A full plug follower set has four followers usually with each having different sized end so you have something suitable for various lock sizes.
Key extractor - It is a long, thin metal piece that helps in retrieving broken key portions from the lock so you do not have to discard the lock for a new one just because a broken key is stuck inside.

Adrienne Rich. Last Poems: Selected and New, 1971-2012. W. W. Norton.
In her poem "Delta" Adrienne Rich writes, "If you think you can grasp me, think again: / my story flows in more than one direction / a delta springing from the riverbed / with its five fingers spread." I have always noted those lines as both a warning and an invitation. Her final book, Later Poems: Selected and New, 1971-2012, provides a path into that depth and those directions that is at once wonderful and sublime. The poems are enduring snapshots of a lifetime full of many tributaries: teacher, essayist, poet, feminist, cultural critic, public intellectual, mother, lesbian, lover. All of these facets are reflected in myriad ways throughout the collection.
What has always been compelling about Rich's work is the fierceness with which she faces the possibilities of her and our humanity. Of course, "Diving into the Wreck" is here and central to this journey. The deep dive into collapsing binaries and emerging as whole is one of the most powerful images in any poem of the last fifty years. In "Power" we have the image of a backhoe "divulging" the past, which brings Rich to her meditation on Marie Curie, which now holds a mournful irony. Rich wrote of Curie, "She died a famous woman denying / her wounds / denying her wounds came from the same source as her power." Rich died from complications of rheumatoid arthritis. I can only imagine that there might have been pain in her hands, the very thing that allowed her to write her words, her power.
This book's collection of her poems reveals for me, even though I've read most of her work over the years, how she returns again and again to the layers of humanity and identity, and how she turns over with a spade and then the fine tools of an archaeologist the stories and history that make up who she was and, by proxy perhaps, who we are too. She turns to these concerns in late poems like "Strata" and "Letters Censored Shredded Returned to Sender or Judged Unfit to Send." These poems show an enduring chronicling and examination that is beautiful and unflinching by turns.
One of these hard gazes is found further along in the collection. "Tonight No Poetry Will Serve" is a striking poem written late in Rich's career. The poem's title plays with the word serve; poetry will not serve the fantasy of war and poetry does not serve to relieve the suffering of "the unslept unsleeping / elsewhere." Rich examines the "Syntax of rendition" that plagues the last decade of American history. The poem invokes waterboarding: "verb force-feeds noun / submerges the subject / noun is choking / verb disgraced goes on doing" and finishes by asking the reader to "now diagram the sentence," again playing on the double meaning—here sentence is an authoritative declaration of punishment and a grammatical unit. This poem is an act of witness and an indictment of injustice and is emblematic of Rich's vision.
In the same vein "The School Among the Ruins" has as its subtitle a list of places where there are schools in ruined, war-torn places: "Beirut, Baghdad, Sarajevo, Bethlehem, Kabul. Not of course here." The punctuation gives me pause. I am left to wonder if it is ironic and read the poem attentively, wondering, and am drawn into the world of a school in a refugee camp where "All night pitiless pilotless things go shrieking / above us somewhere."
One possibility of age is a mellowing. Rich's last work shows none of that—her social and political commentary and her deep engagement with the world show through in these poems not as a diminishing arc but instead as a steady and unwavering beam. She writes "For the Young Anarchists," advising them by providing sage and experienced advice for those who must struggle forward. I wondered agape as I read it if she knew that this would be one of her last poems. Her call to action, the leavening of expectation that the poem carries, is simple and resonates with the ethos of her decades. In "Strata" she writes "the nerve-ends of my footsole / still crave your touch as when / my earlobes glowed between / your quiet teeth." These poems, carrying the power and strength of age, are a gift of succor. I am reinvigorated by them.
We will have no more new poems from Adrienne Rich. But her voice is clear and bright in this collection. And her voice is important and enduring. In The Nation some sixteen years ago Rich summed up the challenge and power of poetry: "We may feel bitterly how little our poems can do in the face of seemingly out of control technological power and seemingly limitless corporate greed, yet it has always been true that poetry can break isolation, show us to ourselves when we are outlawed or made invisible, remind us of beauty where no beauty seems possible, remind us of kinship where all is represented as separation." She does this for me. As I read "A Woman Dead in Her Forties" the line "but from here on / I want more crazy mourning, more howl, more keening" caught me in the memory of waking with my wife, listening to the news on National Public Radio that Adrienne Rich had died. Sara and I began to weep, to mourn a voice that we wouldn't hear again—to keen for a life that we admired and had made our world more human. Thankfully, that voice is not silent and, with this book, we can remember.
