I am just thinking out loud to myself. How are my kids going to explain this to their grand children. Was it something that brought the country down or a time we got to know each other around fire pits. No electricity meant WIFI was down and if you had a portable dongle it would struggle with connection because the towers would be either down or struggling themselves to cater. Fire pits were the best option. I grew up in Dobsonville, Soweto and in those days, Dover stoves were the in thing. Houses would start polluting around 15:00 because stoves were being readied for heating and cooking. We too had to do the same. I have lost a TV set, a fridge and can see problems already with the replacements. It has taken longer for the current appliances because we learnt early or after replacements to get surge protectors. Now we double protect against Eskom. Whose Eskom, well google will still have a record of that gaint. I have had to replace my equipment and I am dreading the day ...
Today's bump shoot was great. I had a shoot in town and rushed back to the studio for a bump shoot. So the lady brought her aunts to the shoot. They were entertaining and I was laughing throughout the shoot. I think they felt sorry for me. My assistant, second shooter and video grapher were not available. My assistant was not able to make it. I was a loner and the jokes were coming in thick and fast. I am thinking of having a live shoot. Would you guys enjoy that?
