The annual workshop was conducted in a different rural Missouri town, this time in West Plains. Each photographer was given an afternoon to find a story and convince a faculty ? including folks from National Geographic. Students shot for two-and-one-half days, turning in their film for local processing. Their day?s take then was criticized by the staff. I chose schoolteacher Beth Weise. One of the art exercises was for her students to paint and then cut out faces. After class, she sat down and applied makeup, a painted face among many painted faces. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Bill1941/RETROSPECT/Painted+faces_+West+Plains_+Missouri_+September+1971+___+01356+.jpg.html ?Bill
