No flash photography

The promo DVD for school has become this capstone project that never ends. There are always more video clips to get, always more events to stalk.

Well, the last event I “stalked” was the Nursing home society. I’m actually relatively OK with nursing homes. My old youth group in NC used to go every month. I had this feeling that I might make the residence feel uncomfortable with my camera, but they didn’t seem to notice. Or maybe their cataracts were acting up and they didnt see me clearly.

Not the one in Waterown, obviously

I got some good shots of the college students singing, and then from behind me emerges Esther Calvino. With the huge Cannon SLR. Well now im sure these people feel bombarded: video and photo at the same time.

Esther is shooting away. You can hear the clicks for miles. I started shooting pictures with the mini cam (great HD shots), then this lady comes in the room and tells Esther that she can’t take pictures in there (which will mark the 2nd time in 2 weeks that Ive been scolded for filming [supreme court room in Madison, not pretty]).

So we were successfully kicked out of a nursing home. I can mark that on my bucket list.
