The Clarksville List

By M. LYNN GRAY Guest Feature Writer Walk across a covered bridge and the sounds of busy Indiana State Road 13, south of Webster, seem to diminish with each board you tread upon. Once on the other side of the channel, you find yourself in the midst of a seemingly abandoned pioneer village. But wait — there are signs of life in one of the primitive square-cut log cabins. A flicker of motion behind a window in the upper story, and bright flashes of light strobe out from the interiors’ darkness. Traveling down a gravel and brick path you find yourself in front of log steps leading up to the covered porch that runs across the front of the cabin and even includes the homey touch of an old porch swing with its creaking chains rocking in the slight breeze. Walk across the shallow porch and step into the world of Indiana in the 1830 s, combined with the modem equipment of Bob List Photography. There is a fire crackling in the open brick fireplace to keep out the chill and dampness that seem to permeate the cracks of the reconstructed building. On the mantle above the fireplace are examples of Bob’s fine photographic art work. Other examples decorate the walls .and

~ I ■ I teiswMl Üba*. 1 Energy Conservation The NIPSCO Speakers Bureau consists of men and women prepared and anxious to show you some down-to-earth conservation measures—measures which will yield quick energy-saving results at a relatively small cost. They have the answers to such important questions as: ■ What s the single largest energy user in the home next to heating and cooling? ■ Are storm windows and storm doors truly costeffective additions? ■ How can worthwhile savings be achieved by minor lifestyle modifications? ■ How can we take advantage of passive solar systems? ■ What s the optimum payback period for conservation measures? If you. or your club or group, would like the answers to these and other energy-saving questions, call or write your local NIPSCO office and schedule a NIPSCO speaker.

are displayed on an antique table. Bob greets the visitor with a big smile and a hearty handshake. You immediately forget any awkward feelings you had and feel at home as the warm firelight plays on the shadows in the corners. Bobs career in photography started as a hobby in the seventh grade, when his father gave him a Brownie-Ha wkeye camera. He began to think of it as more than a hobby when he visited an Uncle and observed him working in the darkroom at his home. Bobs skills have taken substance from on-the-job training and a course at the Winona Lake Professional School of Photography. He also worked, for a time, in the darkroom of The Papers Incorporated. In addition to this experience, he also attends various seminars and state conventions every year to keep up with new equipment and techniques. These conventions also give him a chance to display his work for exhibition and judging. Bob List Photography is a member of Professional Photographers of America, Professional Photographers of Indiana, Wedding Photographers International, and Michiana Professional Photographers. If this isn’t enough to keep him busy, he is also a Trustee in the

Knights of Columbus, and is a member of the North Webster-Tippecanoe Township Chamber of Commerce. With his knowledge of format and photographic skill, its no wonder he was a natural to head up the Chambers brochure on tourism for that area of the state. . Bob gets a lot of his creative ? spark from his location in Clarksville, due to its being adrift from the mainstream of traffic. What could have been a deficit in a new business has proved to be one of its greatest assets. / Another spur to prod on his creativity is Bob’s wife, Ida (Woodling), formerly of Warsaw. Ida makes sure that the patrons are arranged in an attractive manner, their clothing is properly alligned, and their smiles are in place in preparation for the shot. Other than her chores as a photographic choreographer, she also holds down a job, and takes care of the couples’ 2-year-old daughter, Alena, and 8-mon-th-old cocker spaniel, Misty. One of the newest innovations in the world of photography is the slide show, complete with appropriate music, keyed to the slides. Although most popular in a wedding situation, where the courtship of the couple can be followed from early stages up to the wedding, the presentation can also be used in anniversaries and other occasions. Bob’s interest in people is the key to his success. He and Ida both believe that in order to do a rally top notch job, they needlo know the people involved as well as they can in the time allotted. In this way both sides feel at ease with each other and the customer cai®ook back at the occasion in years to come and fondly and emotionally respond to their memories. Do sittings always go without a hitch? There are nearly always little items that pop up to test the photographer’s ability to cope with the situation. It may be the little ring-bearer who bravely makes it to the front of the church, turns around and wonders, “When do we get to eat?” Or it could be a young married couple who come to Clarksville to have environmental shots taken

along the channel. Bob gets the man a pole and has him to throw the line out into the channel, and his wife poses on the bank admiring her husband’s fishing style. Imagine the looks of surprise on all their faces as the pole bends and the fisherman actually catches a medium sized bass! Bob enjoys cross country skiing, sailing and hiking. As a family unit canoeing and camping are favorites. The Lists enjoy music, especially Bluegrass, and although Ida doesn’t play an instrument, she taps time to Bob’s renditions on guitar and harmonica. Alena sings along, and Misty barks and wags her tail when she knows the words. Has Bob always been where the action is with camera and flash attached? Not in one case brought to memory. During the reception of his sister’s wedding in the back yard of the family farm, a steer got loose and ambled through the festive crowd. Not thinking of her recent elevation in status, the new bride hitched up her long white gown and did what she had to do many times in the past; she gave chase. With gown streaming out behind her, eyes flashing outrage, shouts escaping her lips, she was assisted by the novice photographer, who didn’t get any pictures of the strange new nup-
