OK, first "failure" of the effort to get the tower images published along with a story. Chicago Magazine rejected the first attempt at getting them published. After the next shoot, or a couple shoots, I'll make another attempt at the story and images at Chicago Mag. Keep your fingers crossed.
On another, I have secured a long photo shoot with a group of forest firefighters called "Hot Shots" July 8th through 21st in California. The Fire Chief in Georgetown, CA accepted my request to become embedded with his forest fire crew(s) for a period of a week or more. Much thanks must go to Georgetown Fire Chief Greg Schwab for his agreement and ideas for the shoot. There will also be plenty of video shot during the shoot.
The video is why I obtained Final Cut Studio 2. I needed something really heavy like that suite to create the video/still images and sound I see in my head. If I can get the video, still images and sound bites that I'm currently seeing in my head, the final video will be unbelievable - I guarantee it.
Any day with a camera (now video or still) is a good day. Cheers!
