After a weekend of unseasonal heat here in Southern California, I was glad to hear that today’s call would be on a stage that’s normally air-conditioned to the point that one needs a sweater.
Except today. Today, the air conditioner just couldn’t keep up and it was even hot inside the stage.
Not as hot as it [...]
A sure-fire way to be certain a best boy never calls you back again is to refuse to do something, even if there’s a really good reason.
Yesterday, I was asked to go up in the condor and I had to do exactly that – over the walkie, no less.
“Um.. I’ve got a.. health situation right [...]
I’ve not been posting as often lately, I know. I’ve got some other writing related stuff going on and after a while I just can’t sit at the computer one second longer.

Yesterday’s location was in a 1950’s era house that was being remodeled. While we were rigging the house for the night shot, we found these bottles that had been set outside by the construction crew.
I don’t even think they make this stuff anymore, do they? I seem to remember sneaking a taste at a grownups-type [...]
Why is it that whenever I leave my house without a camera I’ll see at least half a dozen really nice couches?
Not only will I see nice couches, but they won’t have parked cars blocking the shot and the light will be perfect.
Which is, of course, what happened this afternoon. I went to the feed [...]
Monday was wrapping a stage on which a music video had shot over the weekend.
In addition to the movie lights, the band had used some of their own equipment, and had sent some of their crew to wrap it – fine with me. Although the rock and roll folks don’t use any equipment that [...]
Since today’s call time is 11 am (it was originally 9 am, but got pushed*), I’m wondering if I should go to the gym before work or not.
I’m tempted to, on the grounds that I’ll preemptively burn off any accidental non-diet friendly craft service that should find it’s way into my gaping maw (BBQ potato [...]
