Gene Eichholtz Presents Lecture
To CRA Camera Club Members
Gene Eichholtz, one-time stu-
dio photographer who is now an
engineer with the mechanical de-
sign group, will present a lec-
ture and demonstration on por-
traiture at the May 11 meeting
of the CRA camera club.
His lecture will cover posing
of models, lighting arrangement
and background effects. He will
rely entirely on CRA camera club
equipment, and his models will
be selected from the audience.
Although Eichholtz is no long-
er a professional photographer,
he spends a great deal of his
spare time working with pho-
tography as a hobby. He does
portraits of friends and takes
many publicity shots for Wing
and Masque.
Underwater photography is a
specialty with the club lecturer,
and he has designed and built a
lot of his own equipment for
taking deep sea pictures.
W. S. Johnson, camera club
president, urges club members
to bring their families and cam-
eras to take advantage of this
opportunity to obtain some good
family portraits.
The meeting will begin at 7:30
p.m. at CRA Clubhouse.
