The Perils of Being a Photographer

Was just going through a whole bunch of photos which hold nostalgic meaning for me and a number of other people unrelated to this blog. Except maybe Weiling. Wow... Five years of photos... And all on film too....

Hah. As a photographer I always relished being behind the lens, capturing the moment. Now, as I look into the past, I realise that I have no photos where I do not appear on my own. Even in the couple that exist, they are candid shots where I'm not aware of the camera, or the photographer. Hence, pretty bad photos all the way!

Now with video, it's even more important that the camera not see my face. However, during logging, extra noise is often heard, so... Even if I never, ever appear on the video, I know that there is a somewhat permanent record of my voice somewhere in our archives. Even if it never makes it onto the final copy!

Well, there are a number of digital still cameras on the crew. I think once we figure out a couple of issues this blog will start getting more exciting! Meaning, the next technology improvement will be photos!

Will try taking some shots on Friday and seeing if they can be uploaded.
