So far I’m liking my new job. It is similar to my old job, but the projects are a bit different. I enjoy knowing my schedule ahead of time and being able to plan for the shoots (something I couldn’t do very much of in the news business). I’m also getting to do a fair amount of travel. Last week I went to NYC for the day. As usual, I had to drag a heavy light kit on the train, but at least I had a production assistant meet me at Penn Station to help with the shoot. I was only there for the day, so I shot an interview and caught the 5:00pm train home.
Two weeks ago I went to Detroit for a shoot. The client was holding a small event in conjunction with the huge classic car rally that was happening that week. Detroit reminded me of Daytona Beach during bike week, only it was cars instead of motorcycles. At night, after the shoot was over, the producer and director wanted to go to the casino. I don’t really like gambling, but I had to go, because our dinner reservations were at a restaurant in the casino. They played craps after dinner. I didn’t know how to play, so I just watched, but they won a ton of money. If I had known they were good at it, I would have just bet on whatever they did! At least now I have a very cursory understanding of the game.
Later this month I’m suppose to go to California. Unfortunately the client is very secretive about the whole thing, so I don’t know the dates, the city or anything about the shoot. Hopefully I’ll know more soon and won’t end up having to wear a blindfold on the plane!
