You're invited to Heathcliff Manor, where Lord Heathcliff is hosting a dinner party in honor of his new bride. All the usual suspects are here - the cook, the professor, the butler - as well as some unusual ones. But before anyone can toast his happiness, Lord Heathcliff is killed with the candlestick in the pool room. Let’s find out who snuffed out his candle. This is a tongue in cheek mystery to test the best amateur detectives. Each player will have a predetermined script. At the end of the game, you will be asked to make your best guess for who committed the crime. The Best Detective gets a beautiful certificate or a cheap candlestick. Certificates will also be awarded for Best Costume, Best Acting, and Best Ad-Libs. This class will meet for two sessions. The first session will be setting ground rules, assigning roles and discussing costumes. The second session will be the actual playing of the game. Bring your sense of humor and prepare to have fun.

In a world awash with images, this is our question. The creative process starts with the reality in front of us and leads to a mental image as we click the shutter. What is important? Is there a story to be told? Is there a mystery or puzzle, or emotion? What is beautiful? What is not? How does composition affect the picture’s impact? The material will concentrate on examples of different genres by famous and not so famous photographers. Together we will discuss why one photograph is preferable over another.
