Looking for an interesting photographic opportunity? Attend the Avon Duct Tape Festival. There's a parade on Saturday, June 14 at 10:00 am. It begins at Avon Village School and ends at Avon Middle School.
This information is from the Plain Dealer
What's the most creative thing you ever did with duct tape? Go to the Duct Tape Festival this weekend and get inspired. Pirates are the theme this year at Veteran's Memorial Park, 38975 Detroit Road, Avon, and that means you're likely to see buccaneers, galleons and parrots made of the sticky stuff.
In addition to the art, there will be games, rides and refreshments. Hours are 4 to 11 p.m. today, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Call 1-866-818-1116 or go to www.avonducttapefestival.com.The Festival Hours are:

June Digital Photo SIG Meeting: Advanced Amateur & Professional Lighting
Professional photographer Marc Golub of Marc Golub Photography and Digital Services Inc. will speak about lighting at the June 2008 Digital Photography Special Interest Group. He will cover topics in advanced amateur and professional lighting, including natural lighting, soft box lighting, and a tennis ball sized light you've never heard of that costs $40 and produces beautiful light. The interior above was photographed with this light.This talk grew out of my admiration for Marc's control of lighting in his photographs. You can see his other examples of his work from his website and from his Flickr photostream.
Marc literally grew up in the photography business. He has been taking pictures since his father put a camera in his hands at the age of two. He shot for his high school yearbook and college newspaper before joining the family business — Laurel Camera Shops — upon graduating from college.
He left the family business in 1984 and went to work for Jerome Schmelzer & Associates, doing advertising and public relations account and creative work. Wanting "to do his own thing," Golub started his own photography company in 1988.
Marc specializes in editorial photography. Current editorial clients include Crain’s Cleveland Business, The Cleveland Jewish News, Shaker Life Magazine, Cleveland Magazine and Associated Press. He has also created imagery for USA Today, Newsweek and The Plain Dealer as well as a number of other corporations and nonprofit organizations.
A self-described computer guru, Marc uses seven computers — three laptops and four desktops in both Mac and Windows platforms.
