Independent filming and other things
Hello! I survived the night of being the babysitter "on location" for an independent film crew. It was fascinating to watch these youngsters wrestle with lights, and do the takes necessary for a good shot. Much giggling and retakes, but we all got through and the shoot was "wrapped", as they say. I even had a small walk-on part as a blind lady looking for help with braille books! Hollywood, here I come...NOT!Between times I was reading a fascinating book called Blog!: How the Newest Media Revolution is Changing Politics, Business, and Culture, by David Kline, Dan Burstein, Arne J. De Keijzer and Paul Berger. It's a compilation of interviews, short essays, guidelines for businesses, and references to the giants in the blogosphere (already!). I was amazed at myself for enjoying reading a book like this--(it was very well put together)--as one who normally drifts towards poetry, memoirs and novels. It's never too late to learn some new tricks. But I quickly realised I am just now putting a toe into a vast ocean!
It's a beautiful late April day here in Ohio--cool breezes but hot sunshine. Much blossom blowing about now, like snow showers, and more and more summer flowers appearing amidst lush thick grass that hasn't even been mown for the first time this season yet. A lovely hiatus before the crash and dust and noise of the full-blown summer.
It's my nephew's, (Christopher's), birthday today--in Bury St Edmund's, UK. Happy birthday, Chris!
More soon!
