Without further ado here is information on the last half of the presentations:<\/p>\n

Lisa Dillman<\/a> \/ Food Writer \/ The Dinner Process<\/em> – Lisa wasn’t always a waitress.\u00c2\u00a0 At one time she used to sit in a cubicle creating PowerPoint presentations.\u00c2\u00a0 Her presentation was actually about some of the things she learned about food since becoming a waitress and not about the dinner process.\u00c2\u00a0 A tip\u00c2\u00a0she shared\u00c2\u00a0– almost anything tastes good with olive oil, salt and pepper!\u00c2\u00a0 The slides were of different foods she’s photographed and what she learned about each one.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve been following her blog for several years now and it was nice to finally get to meet her.<\/p>\n

Randy Sanders<\/a> \/ Tree Farmer\u00c2\u00a0 Woodworker \/ Wood Art – <\/em>Randy used to work for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.\u00c2\u00a0 Now he gets to work with wood.\u00c2\u00a0 Randy’s slides explained some of the ways his farm is different from a commercial tree farm.\u00c2\u00a0 Old and damaged trees are primarily used to create his wood products such as tables, benches, sculptures and picture frames.\u00c2\u00a0 He reviewed\u00c2\u00a0a few\u00c2\u00a0of the characteristics of the different types of wood he uses and it was easy to identify the different wood types by the time he reached the end.\u00c2\u00a0 Randy had good slides of plain and quarter sawn wood showing the differences in the cuts.<\/p>\n

Michael Suriano \/ Architect \/ Simplexity<\/em> – Michael’s work allows him to look towards nature or simple changes to create natural looking architecture.\u00c2\u00a0 One example he used is the very familiar brick.\u00c2\u00a0 We’re used to them being placed end to end to create a solid wall.\u00c2\u00a0 However, when\u00c2\u00a0space is placed between the bricks, it allows the bricks some natural movement and creates an unusual looking\u00c2\u00a0wall.\u00c2\u00a0 On a recent project he used the cell structure of coral to create an overhead shelter for a park.\u00c2\u00a0 The structure allowed for shady areas, bright areas and water areas.<\/p>\n

Jerry Ulibarri \/ Commercial Artist \/ Portfolio – <\/em>Have you ever noticed those murals on the wall of your restaurant?\u00c2\u00a0 But it doesn’t look like it’s painted…\u00c2\u00a0 Jerry works for a company that creates those murals in the studio and places them on the walls.\u00c2\u00a0 They also create three dimensional trees for libraries, murals for museum exhibits and special design work (such as sculptures) when requested.\u00c2\u00a0 Jerry’s slides were a portfolio of some of the projects he’s worked on at various stages.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ryan Hullinger \/ Architect \/ Architecture and Birth <\/em>– Ryan’s presentation was the most moving for me and had me crying before the end.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s an architect that specializes in building hospitals and other health care facilities.\u00c2\u00a0 Some architects shy away from these types of projects because of the large amount of regulations that must be followed but that’s one of the things Ryan enjoys about his work.\u00c2\u00a0 He also likes to ask how to make the design better or more functional.\u00c2\u00a0 When he and his wife found out they were to welcome a third child into their family they asked themselves how to make it better and if they were ready to take a risk.\u00c2\u00a0 What if something went wrong?\u00c2\u00a0 They decided to have a home birth.\u00c2\u00a0 Guess what?\u00c2\u00a0 The midwife and doula traveled through our March snowstorm when hardly anyone was able to travel anywhere.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Ryan and\u00c2\u00a0his wife\u00c2\u00a0live two streets over so I can vouch for the determination of the midwife and doula to not let them down!\u00c2\u00a0 Ryan’s slides were pictures mostly from that day.\u00c2\u00a0 The house became an entity that day due to its role in the birth.\u00c2\u00a0 There was wind and snow outside while the house kept the family safe from the elements.\u00c2\u00a0 The pictures were beautiful.<\/p>\n

It was amazing to learn so much from the presenters about their jobs and interests in such a short amount of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
