As promised, more photographic foolishness [wink wink]

If you are a blogspot blogger, you have probably noticed the foibles (and plain trial and error) in attempting to post photos to text, in order to make it look as though your photos have a natural order. Ha ha ha ha ha ha....sorry, I will try and get myself composed.

So, please, pardon the randomness in the chaos which follows - for it may not have been intentional. It's just, well...in trying to make it look nice (multiple tries at correcting the layout/order of the photo flow), I get cranky and frustrated, and usually throw in the towel while throwing my hands in the air and walking away. Oh, and if the pictures are a little blurry, you can run your mouse over the photo and left click once...the pictures will enlarge on the screen for better viewing. When you are satisfied, you can close THAT larger view by using the left-facing GREEN "BACK" arrow in the upper left corner, and the photo will close, but leave this page open.

ENJOY!

Our day begins with our line-up(s).

And we take our positions.

From the bridge

to the teleprompter

Let me introduce you to a few positions and classmates -

There's Tony and Jill at the newsdesk [below], as seen through the camera lens of Charles "Schnapps" Beleau (did I spell that correctly?). And below them, Scott gets thrasher'd... Katie

Everybody goes through a complete rotation - meaning, you take part in nearly every position over the course of two days...it's nearly foolproof. In a week, we will be doing these show rotations for grades, so we will need to 'dress the part' for two days of the week for the next several weeks, just to be prepared for the possibility of your name ending up in one of the "talent" spots. Of course, there is always the likelyhood of standing in for an absent classmate, too. Preparation is a necessary evil in production. By the way...this photo would illustrate how NOT to dress. :^) Pardon the fuzziness of the photos, pls.

So, from the talent's perspective, this is your view...

...from the newsdesk - of your co-anchor

...and of your sportscaster. By the way - it's all fun and games until you can see yourself on a monitor - then it's AAAarrgghhhh!

And this would be your "birdseye" view of your camera crew, floor director and weather person. Say "hello", Jory. Everybody, say "hello" to Jory.

Let's not forget Elmer Fudd, who showed up to work on camera detail (Aw, damnit), and Gillian B, who likes to fluff and fold before her sports presentation.

Say, now you know what production mushrooms look like!

And still more production mushrooms.

More later...I promise. But for now, I hope you enjoyed these. Cheers!
