If you ‘d like to assist me on documentary work in California, based primarily in the Los Angeles area, please inquire. You can write to my blog/site, on Facebook, e-mail or phone me at (951)-255-9568.

I seek  a  Camera 2 operator, still photographer, audio operator, storyboarder, a focus puller who would manage one or more external monitors, a grip who can manage lighting, and a bilingual (Spanish/English) interviewer. Familiarity with Nikon equipment, Zoom H4N audio recorder,  and/or Adobe Premiere Elements 9 would be a plus.

Best regards! And stay thirsty, my friends—–

I’m out of the humidity…. business office at the airport convenient for posting here.

I included images from last evening’s river cruise in central Shanghai, as well as shots from other stops recently.The low light capability of the D3s was tested from that boat, I was pleased with it.  I did some flash shooting onboard as well.

 

Visited a large ancient barrier wall erected for preventing invasion of the city nearby-called the Dongshuiguan Ruins; then the venerated Yangtze River Bridge, with its magnificent Soviet-style statues on either side of the roadway, in a rainstorm.

There was a visit to a site where antique methods are still used to produce hand- painted intricate art with fine brushes, on crystal. Then we headed for a large lake where pearls are harvested, surrounded by bucolic gardens  enroute to the city.

At the base of the bridge was an enormous statue of Chairman Mao, with rooms to chronicle the rise of the Revolution and a sort of archive of publications of the period.

We’re cooling our heels in Wuxi and Iam catching up on international political developments on CNN… planning additional interviews for tomorrow if time permits.
