Car chases, staged wrecks, and a lack of sleep...

The past week has been a little busy, lots of breaking news, working a second, and even a third job. Last night I got an exclusive on a car chase that ended with 4 arrested and 1 on the run.

A few days ago I shot a staged drunk driving accident. Meant to scare kids into not drinking and driving. It's kinda hard to shoot if you don't know what your getting into. There is so much going on with cops, firefighters, and paramedics running around. You not only have to catch the action, but the dialogue too. Nothing is scripted, so you really have to listen to what they're saying in order to keep up with the action.

i had cart my senior year when they did this so i came on campus in time to see the fake accident. and thats all. later after a track meet we were told a team mate was killed. still part of the day long thing but guess who didnt know that. its ok though. i hate the guy who was "killed"
