Not many people get to say this, but you know what? I think I'm on TV too much.
That thought occurred to me as my History Center pal Emily and I stood in the middle of a parking lot in downtown Marquette yesterday afternoon shooting a teaser video for my upcoming “Wild Wild West” tour (June 18th, by the way). Em is a wizard with a Steadicam, so we were walking forwards and backwards, twisting our way walking in various directions around the lot to make sure the buildings and landmarks I was babbling about were in the shot.
I mean, that's not natural, right? And to do it in one take? That's REALLY not natural, and that's what makes me think I really AM on TV a little too much.

If she gets it done I'll share it on Monday and then you can judge for yourself if I need to choose another career field. And if I DO need to choose, I'm thinking maybe flower photographer. Perhaps I could use this one for my portfolio--
Or even this one--
That picture should give you a hint about one of the things I'll be doing this weekend—sniffing the lilacs (assuming the smelly fire haze that was hanging in the air this morning goes away, and it had better). I'll also be writing a TV piece so I can, you know, be on TV again Monday.
Because, apparently, I don't do that enough.
Have a great weekend!
