Well I don't know much about the TV side of the NPPA but about 330 folks
hit town Sunday to take part in the 38th annual newsvideo workshop. So
far it has been very interesting to watch the other side of the
industry. Although it has been going on now for just tewo days there has
been a ton of info.. put out by the speakers. As a still shooter there
is still something to be gained from sitting in on some of the sessions.
I know I look forward to hear Lisa Berglund speak on Tuesday morning.
For those who know Dave Hamer you will understand when I say he is one
hell of a great guy. Dave retired this year and left for his home in
NEB. or as someone else put it the other big red. Dave we wish you the
best.
