  so i just got back from nashville. my friend sarah needed help on her documentary so i went down to shoot for her.
it was a pretty intense weekend. it was nice for me to get some more shooting under my belt. i hadn't worked with the Cannon XL-1 in a while. and I remembered why. I hate that camera. it blows. okay it doesn't completely blow, it looks nice outdoors for sure and under nice film lights too. but when you are shooting a verite style documentary indoors for a weekend it is no good. ugh, it was frusterating.
but i did get some really great stuff and i think her film will look pretty good. i also spent some time in carbondale on my layover to and from nashville. it was nice. i felt awkward at first being at the school i just left, but i got to see some old friends and i had a great time with them. i also got to go eat at Quatros. which is the best pizza ever. i even had chocolate chip cheesecake.
yum. One of my friends got a DUI this weekend. I am usually really unsympathetic when people drink and drive and get caught, but I love my friend and I hope he makes it out okay.
