THE MAI SNAP!

Where is mecca for 1,800 photographers — from novicesto National Geographic professionals—onthe coast of Maine every summer?

WALKING back from Lilo Ray¬ mond’s lecture my mind is racing. Her •work really has an impact on me; it is seemingly simple in design yet she somehow manages to create a feeling that someone has just left a room; the seat is still warm. I can’t wait to fall asleep tonight as I fall intobedsothatIcanwakeupandex¬ periment with her technique. The next day after class I run back to my room, spend an hour rumpling up bedsheets, fluffing pillows, draping clothing, and creating just the right mix of natural and artificial light to gain the destred effect. Asi snap off 3 rolls of film, losingalltrack,oftime,Icantellthat these shots are really working — I can feel it. Hours pass in minutes as everything I have worked on all week come together. Floating tonight on a creative high, I drop off my film. The next morning I sit on a park bench, staring at the harbor for an hour before contact sheet review, seeing things like I've never seen them before: sharp, perfectly composed, lit. When I get to review I find my contact sheets in the pile, take them out into the hall and, staringindisbelief,slidetothefloor where I sit dazed, mesmerized by ivhatIsee.Itisbeautiful.

IF YOUR life at Union Mutual or Maine Savings Bank has become too secure and predictable — have I got a job foryou.Justbecausetherearealready33,000ofusinthe union, the average salary is about $3,000 a year, and 83-percent of these union members are unemployed on anygivenday...well...theseareincidentalinconvenien¬ ces. We work in the theater — as actors, directors, choreographers, designers, etc., and probably the best place to start — if you want to join us — is in summer theater.
