=======================================

1) Professional photographer Marc Golub of Marc Golub Photography and
Digital Services Inc. will speak about lighting at the June 2008
Digital Photography Special Interest Group. He will cover topics in
advanced amateur and professional lighting, including natural
lighting, soft box lighting, and a tennis ball sized light you've
never heard of that costs $40 and produces beautiful light.

This talk grew out of my admiration for Marc's control of lighting in
his photographs. You can see his other examples of his work from his
website and from his Flickr photostream.

Marc literally grew up in the photography business. He has been
taking pictures since his father put a camera in his hands at the age
of two. He shot for his high school yearbook and college newspaper
before joining the family business — Laurel Camera Shops — upon
graduating from college.

He left the family business in 1984 and went to work for Jerome
Schmelzer & Associates, doing advertising and public relations
account and creative work. Wanting "to do his own thing," Golub
started his own photography company in 1988.

Marc specializes in editorial photography. Current editorial clients
include Crain's Cleveland Business, The Cleveland Jewish News, Shaker
Life Magazine, Cleveland Magazine and Associated Press. He has also
created imagery for USA Today, Newsweek and The Plain Dealer as well
as a number of other corporations and nonprofit organizations.

A self-described computer guru, Marc uses seven computers — three
laptops and four desktops in both Mac and Windows platforms.
