International photographer (Jan-Dec 1935)

January, 193? T h INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER Twenty-one Sometimes, indeed, the complete solution appears in the form of a hunch. There are many instances of this recorded in literature, as well as in answers to our questionnaires." The author believes this faculty can be cultivated by the practice of deliberately evoking it in the solution of problems. Three essentials govern its development. The first is based upon the fact, as Browning observes in his quoted statement, that truth lies within man and within the object of research — not without. It is the habit of turning inwards for the solution of problems. The second is the capacity for mental stillness ; and the third, the regular practice of intuitive contemplation in which the mind is withdrawn from outward interests and focused unwaveringly on great fundamental truths. These three, practiced regularly, will undoubtedly awaken and develop the power of the hunch. Its full expression is a science of which some of the principles have been expressed in various articles from the author, appearing in this magazine. His motive in writing them has been not only to provide interesting reading, but to open up for interested readers the study of that oldest and greatest science of all, the science of self-illumination, the science of soul. CARL DREHER REAPPOINTED Carl Dreher, who has served as Chairman of the Board of Judges for the Scientific and Technical Award in each Awards contest for the past three years, has again been appointed to that office by Nathan Levinson, Chairman of the Technicians Branch. The full membership of the Board is Carl Dreher, Chairman, Harry Cohan, Bernard Herzbrun, Fred Jackman, Ray June, Wesley C. Miller, William Mueller, Emil Oster, Max Parker, and Gordon S. Mitchell, Manager of the Academy Technical Bureau. Each studio, equipment company and technician in the industry will be invited to submit nominations for devices, methods or equipment which have been developed during the past year and which might be eligible for an Award for Scientific Achievement. These nominations, plus any which may be brought to the attention of the Board by its own members, will then be considered and a recommendation made to the Academy Awards Committee covering the Award. The Board may recommend the award of a statue, known as a Class I Award, a Certificate of Honorable Mention known as a Class II Award, Honorable Mention in the Report of the Board of Judges, known as a Class III Award, or may recommend that no award be given. Final decision as to the findings of the Board will be announced at the Academy Awards Banquet, February 27.
