Late last week I was charged with taking image photos of all the on-air talent at our station - or "lens meat" as I like to call them. Now, usually the station would hire a professional photographer and spend a ton of money on an all day photo shoot. Instead, they 'hired' me and saved some cash. And, technically, I am a professional photographer, so I guess it's all the same anyway.
I rented a really expensive digital SLR camera on my corporate card [which cost me a $1k deposit!] and assumed the role of studio photographer, complete with sassy techno music and an ubiquitous white wall. I put the camera on rapid fire and ended up with well over a thousand photos, and a 6GB lump on my hard drive.



I also ended up with a bunch of outtakes. I didn't think about it at the time, but this photo [above] reminds me of all the anchor fighting in Anchorman. It'd be cool to see these two throw down in the newsroom: Shauna's got the initiave in this picture, but I think Wayne would still be a formidable opponent.

Speaking of Anchorman...Will ferrel crashes the MSNBC set. [MSN video link]

Eye in the Sky:
You may remember me telling you about our adventure at the casino last month. Well, we aired the first of my "Inside the Casino" segments this week. Here's a temporary [video link] story.

That is all for now. Tommorow I will show you what else I shot with that camera. How's that for a teaser?
