By day, I'm a news photgrapher/editor/live truck operator which is a fancy way of saying I'm a camerman. By night, I drink.
Now I'm trying to leave the news business but still find a way to continue to shoot and edit, hopefully in some sort of entertainment capacity.

Other than myself you're the second photog. I've noticed here. I'm trying to get out of it tho'. It's alot of work for little pay, and/or recognition. Unless you're freelance. But I'm too lazy to constantly hunt for work. And all the producers I work with never seem to know exactly what they want. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

I do work on computers. Re-installing systems, adding new hardware, taking care of viruses that someone may have. Fun thing is I get to check out some sweet systems and gaming crap these people do and add my own little tweaks.

And then I usually get online while I'm working. It's fun. You have to find out if it works. hehe.

I work for the NBC news affiliate in Philadelphia and cannot stand shooting news anymore. I love shooting and editing, but would prefer to get a gig where news isn't involved, nor live shots, nor hours upon hours of driving a day. The media is so exploitative it makes me sick.

[/b][/quote]Yes. I've done news before. I could not stand it either. Way too much rushing around and pressure, and I just ran tape. The anchor would be saying hello and introing the top story, while at the same time the reporter would be placing the tape in my hand. Also we frequently would be going to break from the third block into the fourth, and I still wouldn't have any tapes for sports, which was what the entire fourth block was comprised of. They wanted me to run camera as well, but they couldn't have payed me enough to deal with the belligerent reporters.

In the what do you hate thread Sabrina said...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>I hate working my butt off at The Office, and only getting two weeks vacation a year. [/b][/quote]

So I sat down and figured out how much I work every year.

For over seven years now I have worked 4 hours a day in the summer for 19 days.
I work 6 hours a day for 173 days the rest of the year.
Also 2 additional hours a day for 102 of those days.
I get 69 days off a year, PLUS weekends.
15 of those days are paid.
That doesn't count sick days and personal days, which are paid.

There's a math problem for ya. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif
