[Frameworks] speaking of Bleu Shut...

[John Knecht]

This shot was made at the Art School at the University of Oklahoma. The
balding man in the top center is Joe Hobbs,  Director of the School of Art
and a great mentor to a whole lot of young faculty starting a film
department in the art school.  Bob Nelson came as a visitor and shot this
using a bomber camera that was in the department.  WWII vintage.  Very high
speed.  Lots of fun.
