The iconic San Diego venue, known for championing foreign and independent films, screens its last movie on Jan. 5.

Grammy Award-winning guitar virtuoso John Jorgenson, known for his exquisite guitar techniques and world-class musicianship, leads his instrumental gypsy jazz quintet in this not-to-be missed concert. Making a rare stop in So. California, the renowned ensemble performs the unique swing style sounds of the melodic music of Django Reinhardt in a mix of soulful romance and rollicking celebration. John Jorgenson, possibly one of the best jazz guitarists alive, is known for his mastery of a broad musical palette and is leaving a lasting legacy in the art of guitar performance. The group’s style has been called gypsy jazz after the dynamic string-driven swing created in 1930’s Paris – but their compositions draw in elements of Latin, Romanian, Classical, Rock and Greek music, so perhaps a more apt description is “21st Century World Music.” This show is golden. The music soars! Visit: John Jorgenson Quintet John Jorgenson on Facebook

An eighth grader at Bright Horizon Academy in San Diego advanced to the fifth round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee Wednesday in National Harbor, Maryland by correctly spelling shinplaster, a piece of privately issued paper currency especially one poorly secured and depreciated in value.

Self-publishing one’s photographs in an on-demand photobook is more than just a fad. For more than two decades, photographers have embraced the process of creating, designing, and outsourcing their bodies of photographic works into small-edition books using various publishing software. By moving their images from the screen to the page, to an object one can hold in their hand, share with others, and memorialize visual projects into “a thing itself,” the photobook is the new paradigm shift for the photographic medium. This online course will introduce the history of the photobook in the context of early 20th century photography to the 21st century, challenging one to ask, “Why the book?” Within this context, the purpose of one’s book will be explored. Surveying and selecting individual images within a series, then editing images into a cohesive body of photographs, will drive the design, including creating dynamic layouts and prototype mock-ups for review. Using presentation software, such as Keynote or PowerPoint, one’s first look will be to critically examine scale, sequence, the visual space of each page, text, and other construction elements to heighten the experience of one’s photographs within the flow of a book. This is not a course on how to use publishing software. As the course proceeds, various publishing sources will be introduced and scrutinized from simple construction options to complex ones. Students will compare their level of skill with these proprietary software sources, selecting the best in regard to which book format has an acceptable degree and “ease of handling.” Further considerations for a publisher will be the design options needed to communicate the book’s purpose, selection of various papers, binding, and of course what is the final cost and turnaround time to hold the book in one’s hand. Requirements for successful completion of the course: Participants need a body of photographic works to create and design their book. The selection of a book design software is cost-free, but publishing costs for one book usually start at about $25 plus shipping. Turn around times are usually 6–10 business days. The course meets online consecutively for five weeks, taking one week off to outsource to publisher. There will be a final online class meeting (6th week) to review and celebrate one’s completed book!
