Welcome to Heycameraman.net

Heycameraman.net is where i log my daily adventures in local tv news using the latest social-media tools and apps. Sometimes its exciting, sometimes sad, sometimes funny, but always my own personal opinion. I usually keep it light and funny on the site so pls don’t take anything on here personal. I’m alittle cynical with a bit of smartass/sarcasm on the side. :)

Just a word about the videos on this site, aside from the embedded ones ie: youtube, vimeo etc, they are for the most part being uploaded from the wordpress iphone app, which supports the <video> tag. And thanks to the browser wars not all browsers support this. Meaning you might not be able to view them.

If you use Google Chrome or Safari browsers you’ll have no problem seeing the videos. If you u use firefox or internet explorer (shudder) i would suggest downloading at least Google Chrome, its a fantastic browser. I personally use Google Chrome and Firefox both because until the browser wars are over some sites display better in one or the other.

Again thanks for stopping by my corner of the Internets!

[Pics] My first day covering the Iowa Caucuses in pictures. #iacaucus

Well my first day covering the Iowa caucuses was a long 14hr day. And I’ll be up in 4hrs to do it again.

Some of the pics are self explanatory, some need a little explaining like why is there a picture of top reality show dad Jim Bob Duggar (19 Kids and counting on TLC). Well he brought his newly decked out family bus to support former Senator Rick Santorum in the caucus. Jim Bob picked Huckabee in 08.

The rest are some behind the scenes of our day. One thing to note is that now we use a quarter of the space we used to use thanks to technology.

As for the political climate here in Iowa it’s pretty low key among the “locals” unlike the volunteers and staffs who would have you believe we’re electing a new president later today. It’s more like Iowa will thin out the herd as the candidates head to New Hampshire.
My picks for the Caucus:
1. Romney
2. Santorum
3. Paul
4. Perry
5. Gingrich
6. Bachmann

1-2 could flip flop and Ron Paul at 3 could surprise them all as well. But what do I know I’m just photog who’s fighting for position among the huge media scrums to bring you the latest campaign video. :)

Thanks for stopping by.

So the Iowa Caucuses are over and so is my 17 hr day. So not a lot to say about the caucuses cause I’m tired and have morning live shots at 5am. But hope you like the behind the scene pics. Got into some pretty good media scrums today but i still got my shots. :) Caucus day is very exciting if you follow politics. And rest assured this is going to be a fun election season.

Goodnight.
