Thank you for listening to the John and Heidi Show. Excited 52 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.919 a visit with Josh Sweets from West Sioux Studios in two falls. They've got 53 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:30.879 a brand new location. They've got a big grand opening tomorrow. Congrats Josh. 54 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:32.520 Now, first of all, let's tell people where the new location is, 55 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:36.599 and then let's also let folks know, maybe they're not familiar what you 56 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.199 guys do at West Sioux Studios. Yeah, for sure. So our new 57 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:44.439 space is almost three times as big as our original space. We're at an 58 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:50.360 eighteen ten West fiftieth Street, and so now we have three different shooting spaces. 59 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.800 We've got a huge portrait studio. We've got a natural light room with 60 00:03:53.879 --> 00:04:00.080 a massive ten by ten foot window that just let's naturalate pour in. And 61 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.240 then our new one we have a theme studio, so we'll have different sets 62 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:08.400 in there that kind of rotate throughout the year and they're always just ready to 63 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:14.520 go. So what we do at West su so we offer studio rental by 64 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.639 the hour, So Essentially, you can come in and we have all the 65 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.240 props. We have all the lighting, the back drops, the seating, 66 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:24.680 all that stuff ready to go. So for a photographer, you don't have 67 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.879 to invest in all that stuff and leaf on your own studio. You can 68 00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.480 just for an hour rent West Su and we have everything ready to go. 69 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.360 You just come in with your model and your camera and you can start shooting. 70 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:40.160 So we do that hourly. But then we also have a few membership 71 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.920 options as well, so you can kind of buy in bulk and and save 72 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.560 a little bit that way too. So I love that idea. What a 73 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:48.399 cool, cool concept. How in the world did you guys come up with 74 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.879 this concept and what made you decide to start West Su Studios. Well, 75 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:58.040 my wife and I started in photography. Maggie sweeps photographer. She's an award 76 00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.480 winning one of the top photogra resins two Falls, and we've started off and 77 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.600 we were shooting on location and going to people's homes and shooting, and we 78 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:10.480 realized we just needed to get a studio. And when you're starting off, 79 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:14.639 that's a lot of overhead, and so we really wished there would have been 80 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.839 a place like this when we started, so we did some studio sharing and 81 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:21.519 eventually just bit the bullet and got our own. But then the idea came, 82 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.319 well, you know, now that we've got a studio and we've kind 83 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.399 of gotten established in the photography world, what if we did something to kind 84 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.120 of give back to the people that helped us out. So we opened up 85 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.800 Community studio. And one of the things that I love about West Su we're 86 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:41.560 not just a place to shoot. We offer with my background being in teaching, 87 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:46.560 we offer classes every month, we do styled shoots and events. We 88 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.319 try to build a photography community around West Su rather than you know, just 89 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:55.199 a place where you can come and take some pictures. You can do that 90 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.160 too, but also it's a lot more that we offer. So we're pretty 91 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.600 excited about what the future holds for this new space. And you're doing an 92 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.800 open house tomorrow, so let's talk about what time the open house is on 93 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.839 Saturday and how folks can join you. Yeah, we're real excited. So 94 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:13.560 we're going from eleven to two pm on Saturday. Eleven to three pm we'll 95 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.519 be done, and each hour we are actually demonstrating a different shoot in a 96 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:23.839 different studio. So starting at eleven we'll be doing headshot session in our big 97 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.120 portrait studio. At noon, we're going to move into the natural light studio 98 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.839 and we're going to use both some hard natural light and then use some of 99 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:32.720 the curtains and things to soften it up and give a light and airy, 100 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:38.120 diffused look. And then we'll move into the theme studio and shoot on some 101 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.360 reflective milar paper and just do kind of a fun theme shoot there, and 102 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.439 then we'll be back in the portrait studio at two two to three. So 103 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:47.600 we'll have these shoots and we'll be demonstrating them, but we also want you 104 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.480 guys to bring your cameras and come and try out the studio, try out 105 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:56.120 the lighting, try out everything that we got to different props. We have 106 00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:00.319 the models there, they're already contract and we're working with them. So if 107 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.040 you want to try out to pose, you're going welcome to jump in and 108 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.240 have the models do that. So we really just want people to come and 109 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:10.279 see the studio, try it out, shooting it and you know, kind 110 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:14.920 of get a phil fort Walls to be giving tours and signing up memberships and 111 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.079 hourly rentals if you want to do that while you're there. Yeah, tomorrow 112 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.360 as well. So yeah, we're kind of just excited to get more people 113 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.879 out to the studio and see what we've built out there. I love that. 114 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.199 What is the address once again? And what is that near? So 115 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.000 people wanted to they can stop buy and see you guys tomorrow. Yeah, 116 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:33.600 So we are eighteen ten West fiftieth Street. It's right by Shoeman's right there 117 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:38.839 on forty ninth. They're just off of forty ninth and Western, So we're 118 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.480 just a few blocks from Interstate to twenty nine and Western and then just to 119 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.079 block away from forty ninth and Western. That address is eighteen ten and it's 120 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.319 West Sioux Studios and something else that I need to make sure I love. 121 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:54.439 Folks know Josh Sweets, the gentleman we're talking to, has a connection to 122 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:59.519 this program because every morning Josh puts words in my mouth. He is with 123 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.800 sou Fall's Fun Pages, who does the write up every day for this day 124 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.240 in Sioux Fall's history. And I love the fact that you let me do 125 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.759 that little blurb on the radio every day. How long have you been doing 126 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.639 this and where did that idea come from? Yeah? Definitely, So I 127 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:16.959 love fou Fall's history I love history in general, and then the fact that 128 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.600 it's here in sou Falls, and you know, I can relate some of 129 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.319 these stories the places that I've been in or places that I go all the 130 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:28.040 time. So I started compiling them probably about three years ago, and then 131 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:33.240 I started during COVID actually trying to get a new story for every day of 132 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.320 the year. And then in twenty twenty two, I started January first and 133 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.960 on my Instagram actually Soue Falls fund page on Instagram. I went throughout the 134 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.000 whole year and I posted every day, and then I think right at the 135 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.399 beginning of twenty twenty three this year, I'm very close to it. That's 136 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.600 when we hooked up and started doing on the radio end as well on Instagram 137 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.399 and Facebook. So it's been kind of a work in progress. We actually 138 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:03.759 started doing classes as well with the community education, where we just spend a 139 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.960 couple hours talking about some of the just amazing stories. Sufalls has so much 140 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.039 amazing history that people have never even heard before that I think it's really important 141 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.559 to share. So yeah, it's it's kind of a labor of love, 142 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.120 but I thoroughly enjoy it. Well, I absolutely love the program, So 143 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:20.039 thank you for doing this. It always fascinates me that somebody had written all 144 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:24.200 this stuff down. I know history is behind us, but you can look 145 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.200 forward to learning a little bit about Sioux Fall's history every day with this day 146 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.960 in Sue Fall's history right here on this program for sure.

This Day in Sioux Falls History is brought to 161 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.200 you by the Sioux Falls Fund Page and Sunny ninety three point three. It 162 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.840 was on this day, August eleventh, eighteen seventy two. One of the 163 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:43.360 crowning achievements of Bishop William Hobert Hare in Sioux Falls was the completion of the 164 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.559 Saint Augusta Episcopal Cathedral. The bishop had received funding from the wealthy Astor family 165 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.200 years earlier, as he oversaw construction of All Saints Private Girls boarding School in 166 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.759 Sioux Falls. Upon the sudden death of his wife, John Jacob Aster the 167 00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:00.960 third donated twenty five thousand dollars to Bishop Hare.
