Friday April 2 Day 31

Friday April 2 Day 31


While logging my tapes I review all the shots. I have a winner already. While doing a shot where I pan around a corner to get the perspective of sharp corners, a woman and her daughter entered the frame. I followed them around the corner until they were out of the focus range. The young girl was skipping down the hill with the mother walking behind. They were absolutely delightful. If people are on camera I must make certain that their faces are not visible or recognizable. If I wanted to use their image commercially I would have to get a signed “release” which would allow me to use their recognizable image. Most of you have seen some reality television where the faces of some of the people have been blurred out. That process makes them unrecognizable so that the producer of the show can broadcast their image without specific permission.


I was able to go out and shoot for almost 3 hours. I got another good shot with a Indian woman walking along a level trail and my following here showed the twists and turns of the trail. A good but exhausting day. I am finding the stress of shooting to be more tiring than I had thought. I have to maintain such control over my whole body to get smooth shots that I hurt all over in the evening.

About Me

My photo
I have twin sons with 2 children each. I will miss them when in India. I have been a job gypsy all my life looking for new challenges constantly. I got bored quickly except when teaching. 3 years as a Middle School Music Teacher and 9 years as an Assistant Professor of Music. I played in a Country Western Band when I went back to college at 39 to get a degree in Accounting. I was a CPA that worked in various companies, the longest for 5 years and the shortest for 2 days. I spent most of my accounting life working as a Project Accountant where I would come in to solve a particular problem. I was rarely required to do a lot of the boring stuff for very long. With the passing of my wife and NO job to go to, I can now pursue my dreams in India.
