`Shadow' Learns
On Photog's Jaunts
Extra-curricular activities have a way of playing havoc with
your hours for bridge, or for studying, should you fall within the
study-bug category. Provided you are willing to sacrifice a bridge
hour —we would never suggest your sacrificing' a study hour
you can have a hilarious time acting as a photographer's . shadow.
It seems that several campus
publications use staff photogra
phers for assorted purposes, one
of which, oddly enough, is tak
ing pictures. Some photographers,
by nature the extrovert type must
on having .an assistant, whose
job, the photographers say, is to
qffer suggestions for taking shots.
The real purpose, /of course, in
putting up with the shadow's un
professional comments, is to have
someone ,who can be forced into
lugging around an - assortment of
flash bulbs, plates, and,
H miscel
laneous textbooks on "ow to
Take Effective Photographs."
Dead Bulbs
. The first step in beiag a cap
able shadow is to learn to accept
the fact that there. isnt' time' for
pleasant niceties. The photogra
pher gallops at full speed up the
Mall (you are carrying his cam
era and,' equipment) and, seeing a
romantic-looking couple saunter
ing along, stops them with a curt
"Hold on, will ya,?" grabs his
camera, 'flicks out a flashbulb
from your pocket, and, amid a
blinding flash of light, claims he's
just taken the best shot •of the
year.
Oftentimes you find yourself
disappointed, when, with your
eyes half-closed to avoid the
blinding flash, nothing happens.
The bulb is dead.
Eager. Students
Crashing parties presents
fewer difficulties than crashing
classes, to get shots of busy engi
neers "or absorbed liberal artists
involved in the complicated pro
cesses of thought. Professors, for
tunately, ar e quite cooperative,
and stop lecturing long enough
to give their students a break
during the half-minute interval
it takes to get the picture.
Students are amazingly eager
to have their pictures taken, de
spite the fact that coeds insist
on having a minute to comb a few
stray locks. This accomplished,
they sit up unaccustomedly
straight, and give the photogra
pher his chance to take the best
shot of the year.
