Round 'Em Up Boys, We're Heading Out West!

Title of Nancy's and my talk at the Midwest Society for Photographic Education Conference: "Round 'Em Up Boys, We're Heading Out West!"

Proposed method of presentation: Give the entire lecture inside a cardboard cutout of the SUV/Portable Studio.

Prop Idea #1 for the audience (ND: "like the Oprah show when she gives things to the studio audience"): Place everyone in the room in pairs and have them sitting in their very own cardboard vehicle.

Prop Idea #2 for the audience: Pass out chlorox wipes so they can clean their immediate environs before the lecture. Nancy will demonstrate before the talk begins.
