ABSTRACT
In the early 1980s, the Penn State Industrial Psychology Program wanted to promote its work through a brochure describing our capabilities and talents. Unlike many other small nonprofit organizations, we had the substantial resources of a very large nonprofit/major university behind us and we took full advantage of that fact. We contacted the university’s official photographer to take some photos to dress up our pamphlet. When the photographer arrived, we were all surprised to see how much equipment he brought and the fact that one arm was missing, replaced by a prosthesis. We watched in amazement as he worked his craft, setting up lights and tripods, readying cameras and light sensors, and basically moving from one task to another with speed and finesse. The results were equally impressive when he shared the photos with us a week later. Clearly, he did his job well and did not see any hurdles inhibiting his success.
