Read More Las Vegas, LDI 2010Talking to fellow lighting designers and seeing how they do things is one of my favorite parts of writing JimOnLight.com – just recently I had the absolute pleasure of having a nice long chat with Jeff Waful of Umprey's McGee, and this morning I awoke to an email from Jeff about a two-part video he's [...]
