This is the first work-related photo I took with my new digital camera. [My other camera met its untimely demise in a lunchbox filled with coffee.]
I snapped this picture on Friday, while we were on a sorta-stakeout. Basically, a lady wouldn't return our calls or come out of her office, so we waited outside her work for her to leave - so we could get a picture of her (and possibly show it in slow motion). Using the internet, we got her license plates, found her truck, and waited for her to leave work. Is this overkill? I don't know anymore. i just hide behind the dumpster with my walkie-talkie.
Long story short: she didn't come out. I waited behind a strip mall dumpster-area for over an hour while my reporter sat at an outdoor pizza place pretending to enjoy reading the Oregonian. Eventually we were pulled off the story, and went and did one on kids and crack cocaine.
Seahawks Live
Since Portland doesn't have its own professional football team, we borrowed Seattle's for a day. Fox 12 covered the Seahawks scrimmage event with a one hour special, and I was one of the photogs - I shot all the feature-ish stuff. And, while the highlight of the dayshould've could've been the Sea Gals cheerleaders.
But, it ended up being Darby. He was this nice kid from the kids football training camp that was a SOUNDBITE MACHINE. He talked in perfect 5-10 second statements. So, right there on the spot, Angelo (the field producer) decided that Darby would be our junior reporter.
It was kinda odd that his father just let him run around with us for hours unsupervised, but the kid was too good not to put in the show. And even though I was wearing like fifteen different media credentials there were a few places I couldn't go. But, they couldn't turn us away with a little kid as the reporter. Pow!
Random stuff:
We haven't set an official date, but we're throwing another gore film festival this year - in December. Tons of drinking, gory short films, and loads of holiday cheer. I'll be launching the official film festival website, and starting up the PR machine at the end of the month. Start thinking about your holiday horror short films...
Saw this news story and I thought, "This is how SkyNet got started."
For those of you who missed Borat's country western song on Da Ali G Show last week - here it is [link].
