[Ed was a pioneer in developing portable electronic flash in the 1940's.] He had invited me to be a joint presenter on electronic flash at the Milwaukee Sentinel Active Americans event, and I went out to prepare our talk. Ed had designed this house himself on a hilltop location that he had picked out by flying over southeastern Wisconsin looking for the best site. This view is from his living room, which had large windows in a zig-zag pattern arranged so that the sunset came into the room every day of the year. The hilltop overlooks Nagawicka Lake in Delafield, Wisconsin. < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Photographers/19810328_MR_FarberHome_B_8.jpg.html > < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Photographers/19810328_MR_FarberHome_B_10.jpg.html > I also digitized Ed's multiple flash demonstration boards that he hauled all over the country for seminars. < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Photographers/Ed_Farber_Multi_Strobe_Shots.jpg.html > < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Photographers/Ed_Farber_MultiFlash_Bulb_Shots.jpg.html > < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Photographers/Ed_Farber_OpenFlash_Shots.jpg.html > All can be viewed large. -- Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services (Retired) UPAA Photographer of the Year 1978 UPAA Master of the Profession 2014 amr3 at uwm.edu http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/ "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
