It's been a while since I was here. Anyone I know still around? Is this thread off topic? I guess I'll ask a photography question to keep Kevin from slapping me. If a light falls in the woods, does an engineer still get PO'd? Also, yes, I am shooting again. Hide yo kids. Hide.. well you...

To whom ever edited the make it yourself Christmas present package. Seriously. WTF? Have you never edited before. Was this your first day? It takes a lot to get me to come out of my hibernation from here to rant about something but holy mother of god... That was the worst thing I have EVER heard...

The flip side now! What do you love to shoot. From a photographic standpoint, I love shooting fires (big ones). Oddly, I also love shooting traffic.. Weird, I know. Also, any armed forces coming home bit. Nice being around happiness for a change.

Without getting into too many details, I now find myself unable to drive (I didn't do anything illegal), either my car or a station car, for a few months. Does anyone else 'not drive' and does having the reporter do all the driving cause any issues? I don't really find myself being concerned...

Do any of you guys get harassed by assfeet who don't understand Bill O'Reilly doesn't work in a cube in the back of your newsroom? I drove past some war protesters today who went googlynuts when they saw the logos on my car. I honestly think that had I been at the stoplight for a minute...

Suprised no one has posted this yet... http://www.myfoxla.com/myfox/pages/News;jsessionid=F5763EDFF3F7B33EB2E64954A07E37C4?pageId=3.1 Media being smacked around by the police at one of the protests, one photographer even being hit with a police baton... Not cool...

I just saw some video of a protest that happened on 1/1 at the Golden Gate Bridge. In the video, some cops appears to be confronting a photog. One puts his hand on the photogs lens, which in reply the photog seems to smack the cops arm or shove him. Was fast, couldn't tell which. The other...

This is an odd request, but I am looking to confirm or deny rumors I have heard... How much do you guys make on average? I checked out the salary survey, and that doesn't in ANY way mesh with the rumors I've heard. Myself, and a couple of people (included a Sac Town native) are looking to see...

Vegas® Movie Studio™+DVD 6.0 I thought I saw a thread about Vegas software elsewhere, but now I can't find it, so I am starting a new one... I saw this software at Circuit City for $70 yesterday and I am considering getting it, since I want a decent easy to use consumer program to do some...

It's been so long since I have blogged about anything even remotely work related, I needed to make sure you all knew about my leaking brain matter onto the internet! What did all that mean? Who knows. Read MY BLOG! Or don't. Whatever. :) (BTW, if you link to me, please take note of the...

What? I thought it was the hip thing to do now!

Can I still enter like the spot news catagory with Live VSV? I've done 2 packs in 8 months, but about 692 VSV's...

On the weekends, being the only photog, my video made up 80 to 100% of the first block! Now I'm lucky if I get 20 seconds between weather and sports... Anyone else miss anything about your first, dinky market station, or am I the only insane one? :) [ September 26, 2005, 05:35 AM: Message...

Okay. I'm bored with murders and car wrecks again. If I wanted to be a camera operator and eventually a DP on movies and television shows, where do I start? Do I just zip down to the union and tell them I want to be one? Or is this another job where I will have to sleep my way in? edit: Despite...

I saw video of a photog in a Wal-Mart shooting people looting. This after a cop was shot in the head trying to stop a looter. Woo.. Good luck guys. Think the hurricane was bad, nothing compares to the destructive nature of man.
