Insight / On the
Cover by Bill Hurter
The Hy Sheanin Memorial Scholarship Fund
Last year the photographic industry lost a very special person, Hy Sheanin.
Father of Rangefinder publisher, Steve Sheanin, Hy was a founder of Rangefinder
Publishing Company and along with Steve, founded WPPI 30 years ago, filling
a long needed niche for the wedding photographer.
Over the years WPPI
has grown to be a driving force in professional photography. In keeping
with WPPI’s tradition of excellence in education and
to honor the memory of Hy, we’re very excited to announce the Hy
Sheanin Memorial Scholarship.
The qualifications for this scholarship
are as follows:
•
You must be new to professional photography, either an assistant or a
recent graduate
•
You must submit ten unmounted images no larger than 8x10
•
Include a cover letter with 50–100 words on why you should be considered
for the scholarship
•
Include a brief resume
The scholarship recipient will receive:
•
Round-trip airfare (within U.S.) to Las Vegas for WPPI 2004
•
Free registration for the newly founded WPPI Plus and to the WPPI convention
•
Eight nights lodging at the WPPI hosting hotel
•
One year free membership in WPPI
Starting this month there will be a page devoted
to the scholarship on the WPPI web site [www.wppinow.com]. This is a great
opportunity for those who
are new
to professional photography to participate in eight days of solid instruction
at WPPI 2004. Apply today!

Comments: When David took the original photograph, he was looking for
an image to promote the Mavis Tracy Ballet School that would have a “Degas” feel.
Their old ads had always been rather plain and they wanted an image for
their ads that would catch peoples’ attention and excite their
imagination. The model is Lindsay McGlinn, a ballet instructor at the
school. Jeremy reinterpreted David’s original photograph as a pastel
drawing in the Degas style using Corel Painter 7.

Creative with Painter,” by Jeremy Sutton.
