[LargeFormat] TV Show

[Brock Nanson]

This is slightly off-topic (if there is a real 'topic' here ;-) but here
goes anyway...

I happened to catch a show on TV several nights ago called 'The Naked
House'.  At first glance, the title might interest, but you'd likely have no
idea what it was about!

Turns out it was an hour long show about a photo contest.  Briefly, 11
professional photographers were invited to compete.  The details:

Sight unseen
30 minutes to shoot
1 old house with unusual props... (well, maybe not to Uncle Dick)
1 camera
1 lens
1 roll of black and white film (sorry, MF, not Large Format!!)
1 nude model
existing light

I was absolutely blown away by the quality of the shots these pros produced
with no advance information... not even a picture of the model.  The results
were hung in a gallery and judged by the photographers themselves,
anonymously.

If anyone happens to come across this show in their TV Guide, it's well
worth setting the VCR for!
