I SAW A UFO !!!

.

Kidding. This is the "Space Needle" behind the venue we just left in Seattle. It's 12:45 a.m. and we are on the bus on the way to Portland OR.

The show we are working on is simple. We have four cameras cut together for an Imag show. No Audio, little playback, and no Elvis, or Chyron. We are a small 7 person crew. 4 on the bus and 3 locally hired. Above is a pic of Allan and local John in Vancouver. Video world is generally set up in an area central to a power source, and an I/O panel to connect to the house. The expression on Al's face reflects his pleasure that video world in Vancouver was placed here ...

That image will not be the one I keep from Vancouver. We had 2 days off there and I made the most of it. Sari and I took in a Vermeer exhibit at the Vancouver Art Gallery. I also enjoyed 2 mid-day jogs around Stanley Park which is the most beautiful city park I've ever seen. Lots of wide open areas ... woods ... bike trails ... walking paths, and water everywhere.

Here are a couple pics from my hotel balcony.

The harbor was idyllic. The small sea planes that were constantly taking off and landing were fun to watch at first but the noise became tiresome by the time we left.

Finally, here is a pic I snapped at the Grandville Brewery where I had a tour on Wednesday.

The out of focus shot is in deference to my TV friends who would not recognize a shot of mine that was in focus.
