Orange; California; a city that started small; but grew big on the promise; sweat and toil of agriculture. Born from the breakup of the old Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana; its early days were filled with horse races; gambling; and fiestas. Citrus was the backbone of the economy for more than half a century; though post-war development eventually replaced the orange groves. Historian; and Orange native; Phil Brigandi traces the roots of the city back to its small town origins: the steam whistle of the Peanut Roaster; the citrus packers tissue-wrapping oranges for transport; Miss Orange leading the May Festival parade; and the students of Orange Union High painting the O and celebrating Dutch-Irish Days. In doing so; he captures what makes Orange distinct.

It is a workbook for students and other lighting designers who are looking for a refresher about different lighting techniques and their effectiveness. I pull it out whenever I am at a creative impasse because it helps me to consider the basics; which helps me pull out a better design.It starts with a brief overview of all the basics of design ideas and equipment. But this certainly should not be your main source of this information. Then it gets on to the real meat of the book - the activities.I wouldnt suggest buying this book unless you have a space and equipment to actually do the activities. Learning with this book is achievable only by doing the exercises; working through the problems; and observing; as the book offers no "right answers" and espouses no "right way".Examples of activities covered in this book are achieving an even stage wash and "to explore the problems of providing enough visibility for the audience to understand the action; while maintaining the atmospheric credibility of a moonlit garden which is sufficiently dark and shadowy for mistaken identities to be feasible" to minimalistic lighting to lighting through gauze.Excellent for a teacher to buy to teach a class. Dont make your students buy their own copy though; it is overpriced.
