life in the B roll
what do the massillon public library and the gregory galvanizing plant in canton have in common? if someone asked me to tell them, i would have to take a really deep breath and reply with a very long run on sentence. but the punch line is:
we somehow found our way from the former to the latter via the quick print shop to smiley's italian restaurant to the massillon h.s. football stadium to the massillon women's club to the dugout behind catholic central school and eventually to meet dave, the night foreman who was busy galvanizing well casings and the like.
i said life is big and has no boundaries. but it does have coincidences.
bruce scoffed at the 15 cent price tag on copies made at the library, so we headed down lincoln way to the print shop. right there, over the xerox was a memorial photograph of amanda cunningham. amanda was the senior class president at ohio university who died 2 weeks ago in a car crash. she also attended the same church as bruce in athens. we were also standing in the same print shop her parents own.
this is not normal for me. how much of moments like that translate to 720x540 pixels? i am trying to record time and experiences and live them at the same time. the difference between my human memory and my sony memory becomes confused. and how much of what i will remember will be remembered on tape because i remembered to push record? (and set the white balance and the gain and the exposure and the audio level)
later at the motel 8, i was logging time codes on the videotapes. the paper bruce gave me told me to define each scene and highlight the important areas that were interesting. i began to think of the luxury it would be to live life with such definition; to live a life after post production.
i guess at this stage of the game i am just hoping for enough preroll. and being happy for living unedited.
meanwhile on the flip side of reality, farmers harvesting opium in afghanistan are making a killing again now that the taliban is off the scene. that, i think, should be your next assignment with bruce. get their side of the story before the geographic does. and on the flip side of that, i'm sitting here talking to my future father in law who's telling me about his trip to the thrift store today and he runs into an ex cia agent who tells him to hit the norwood goodwill cause they've got a smoking good deal on golf clubs. not playing much golf in afghanistan these days i bet, much less hitting the goodwill for a deal on clubs.

they see it is easier than trading. And it has its pleasures. I feel
it myself. Like the hunt, but with richer rewards.

(5) Take care that thou useth the proper method when thou takest the
measures of high-voltage circuits too, that thou dost not incinerate
both thee and thy test meter, for verily, though thou has no company
property number and can be easily surveyed, the test meter has
one and, as a consequence, bringeth much woe unto a purchasing agent.
(6) Take care that thou tamperest not with interlocks and safety devices,
for this incurreth the wrath of the chief electrician and bring
the fury of the engineers on his head.
(7) Work thou not on energized equipment for if thou doest so, thy
friends will surely be buying beers for thy widow and consoling
her in certain ways not generally acceptable to thee.
(8) Verily, verily I say unto thee, never service equipment alone,
for electrical cooking is a slow process and thou might sizzle in
thy own fat upon a hot circuit for hours on end before thy maker
sees fit to end thy misery and drag thee into his fold.
