I just spent a very good weekend up in Atlanta helping some friends shoot a music video for a band called The Black Kites. We had lots of cool gear at our use and I even got to do a fair amount of camera operating(thanks Will!). We used a DV panasonic which had the 24p technology. It looked great. Thanks to Tony and Will for letting me help out and to The Black Kites.
I did recorded some behind the scenes stuff with my camcorder. Perhaps I will edit it togeter...random viewfinder/monitor video(mp4)

I am just wandering through the deserts of Arizona these days. Soon I'll be visiting Florida for the holidays.

Made it back stateside. I'm in Tucson for the week. It's very desert like.

I bought and read another book the other day called 'In Harms Way'. It was on sale in the cheap $7 bin(books here are extremely expensive with most paperbacks usually selling for $25 or more). It's about all these men who's ship got sunk in world war II. Alot of those who got off the ship got eaten by sharks(about 200 of them). Anyway, one of the survivors, Bob Gause, moved to Florida and became a commercial fisherman and headed some shark hunting expeditions. It's believed that he may have served as inspiration for the character of Capt. Quint from JAWS.
Thinking about the Atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki...I think the death toll was something like 300,000. Imagine there were people wiped off he face of the planet with no one to even miss them as it's entirely possible and likely that their whole family and everyone who knew them was also destroyed. Then there's the holocaust. World War II must've been the world at it's most insane in my opinion.
- A watch from one of the victims, Kengo Futagawa, that stoped on the impact of the bomb.
The atom bomb called 'Little Boy' was droped at 8:15 in the morning of August 6, 1945.
