Quick Tip: From The Mind of Dean Collins
Yesterday’s post has me focused on the more absurd things people have said to speakers at various programs. I always like to keep it light on Sunday mornings, so this one is priceless.
Dean Collins once had a troll yell out at a program, “Hey Dean, sure your pictures look great, you only take pictures of beautiful women! Don’t you ever photograph any ugly people?” The troll was no match for Dean’s wit, “Of course I do. So why don’t you and your whole family come up on stage right now and we’ll set up the shot!”
And for this lazy Sunday morning that’s the very best I can do! Dean was one of the finest instructors our industry has ever seen, specializing in lighting. If you want to relive his brilliance visit Software Cinema and pick up his FineLight Series. The material on this four DVD set is timeless!

I got to see Dean at 3 or 4 local PPA events. He’d be talking about PVC pipe, ripstop nylon, and bungee cords, and invariably someone one would want to know what brand of pvc, or if it was ok to use 3/4 instead of 7/16, should the rip stop be orientated vertical/horizontal, did the bungee cords have to be green, would red be ok?
He did have the gift of being able to take something complex, and by the time he was done explaining it, you’d be, “that is sooo obvious, how come I’m not doing that?”
