Sunday Oct 17 Day 137
Today’s major project has been to balance my camera equipment for use inside the rooms of Woodstock School. It has been moderately successful with a few elements to adjust. I did a real field test which involves taking the equipment out to a site still in pieces. The equipment is too awkward to carry so I have to break it down to fit in my backpack. The field test comprises putting it back together away from my apartment. I still have a sway in the camera that I should be able to solve in the next couple of days.
I have run up against the artist’s procrastination. This past friday I was able to get my first wide vistas of the hillside from the Community Hospital to the Midlands. I was very reluctant to check it when I got home on friday or all day yesterday. I am afraid that it will not turn out as I wanted and do not want to be disappointed. The vista shot are beautiful and I am very pleased. I cannot wait to see them on wide screen plasma TV. I find I am doing the same thing today about yesterday’s taping from the moving car. Logging the shots will take a couple of hours and I do not want to stop during the logging. So the moving car shots will be done tomorrow unless I do it after supper.
Bena, the lady that cooks my lunch and dinner, wants to go into the bazaar for some big event this evening. So I shall be cooking my oatmeal and making my own toast for dinner. I taught her how to make the oatmeal yet she feels that she needed to get everything ready for me. I will most probably end up with uncooked oatmeal and burned toast.
My blood sugars have been a little bit high the last couple of days. This comes from taping from a car and not climbing up and down the hillside repeatedly.
During my field testing I noticed that I was not even breathing hard while taping. I can hear my breathing in the recording. I must finally be getting into shape. A couple of weeks ago it only took 5 to 10 minutes to begin huffing and puffing on the recording.
