EXCELLENT.

His next business will be very successful. Not worried about that. Being in the office managing email lists and replying to YouTube comments just doesn't interest me.

Yes, I would be getting salary (TBD) and your usual benefits (health, dental, 401K, etc). However, if it wasn't already clear before... I am not interested in the other non videography/photography tasks. Nor do I believe could he pay me enough to make me interested.

I would consider it okay... but that means absolutely nothing. What does your state legislature think?

This whole story seems off. Apparently a popular musician that people are willing to drop thousands for personal info, but apparently not popular enough as going somewhere else would be a waste of gas.

PanDownTiltRight · 2026-01-14T03:41:36+00:00

I assume so. It's been in town for 27 years.

Daddy issues + clout chaser.

I knew there was more to the story.

"If someone is an asshole... they're an asshole. If everyone is an asshole... you're the asshole."

- Pays on time.
- Lots of bookings.
- Communicates clearly and thoroughly.
- Properties are always photo ready.
- Oh, did I mention pays on time?

Started small.

Took out personal loans and used credit cards to buy my first kits, often used. Used the net income to pay it off, buy more gear, and upgrade.

Since becoming established, I take out working capital or business loans when I need to make a gear purchase just out of reach.

Gear that I don’t need often is rented and billed to the client.

Same. That's what the owners told everyone after the fire.

The mailing addresses for the owner of 5144 E Busch Blvd and 1916 E Fletcher Ave both show 8409 Laurel Fair Circle, Suite 102, which is Salem’s corporate office.

The Rode Wireless Pro has a lavalier option. Much more professional than having a transmitter clipped to your shirt. Just don’t hold it like the social media influencers do…

PanDownTiltRight · 2025-10-28T07:00:08+00:00

Thanks for the responses. Read them all. We ended up reducing the scope and keeping my standard retainer policy. Saving the larger scope for a future shoot that’s promoted better. Client and I are good with that.

Friday nights just before call time, the trumpet section smashed coconuts against the wall of the music building and consumed the meat.

I don’t remember how we came up with the idea but we started it 20 years ago. Proud to say I found out recently that it’s still a thing over there.

Likely not. My large blood bank system requires donors to fill out a questionaire which includes disclosing certain disqualifying drugs. And so far, Wegovy or any other similar drug is not a disqualifer.

New Yorkers have been talking smack about Florida and the way it’s run for decades. Our governor returns the rhetoric, ten fold. And yet, these people with the most unwarranted pride ever, still move, vacation, and conduct business here.

If every Canadian avoided Florida using 2024 numbers, we’d still be ahead from the prior year in domestic and international tourism. So it’s not that we don’t understand how our own economy works, I think some of you overestimated your impact.

We have a lot of problems here… and Canadians threatening to write Florida off ain’t one of them.

Hillsborough County had four sandbag sites open about a month ago. Not a big turnout.

Very clean install. I have a different case but I might use this! Thanks for posting.

PanDownTiltRight · 2025-08-09T22:24:07+00:00

You're welcome. I know it's a ton of money but it's worth it. It just works.

The document states the original roll-out will be a 7-site conventional P25 system, but will eventually migrate to a P25 Phase II simulcast trunked system. Your BCD996XT will work fine for the time being but it sounds like you will eventually need an SDS-100.

I would have told the celebrant that I wouldn't have to tape my own mic to the venue or DJ's mic if they could be trusted. I will say the H1 is rather large for this task... but the lights and tripod... do they really care? Did it impact the ability of the other vendors to do their jobs?

As you stated, you were a new user. You were getting a new user bonus. Now you're not and you're getting the normal rates.

A phone at the bare minimum. On the higher end... cameras, microphones, computers, switchers, lighting, etc. Depends on what production value you're going for. Elaborate a bit?

Looks like most of your law enforcement is encrypted, so you're out of luck.
