PBS at ASDM

On Friday April 6th, 2012 the Arizona Illustrated crew from PBS was out to do a story on the Raptor Free Flight program at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. Frank and I were fortunate enough to be in the crowd for the "show". They setup cameras in the desert, in the trees and in the crowd to capture every aspect of the event. Here are a few images of the crew at work. Click on the pictures for a slideshow and larger view.

NOVA Night

Tonight a crew from PBS showed up at the VATT to film the LBT from our roof (my favorite photographic perch). "Brian" - the NOVA series cinematographer - sported a HUGE (and expensive) High Definition video camera with which to record the opening of the LBT building just past sunset. Although he was a godless "nikon" shooter (we all know - Canon Rules!)- I let him practice his trade anyway ;->

Here are a few shots of the picturesque scence.
