<North Richland Hills, Tx> I've landed a gig as a still photographer for a film that is shooting in north Texas. It's everything I expected, after reading up on the subject. It is every bit as frustrating, thankless, and disconcerting as others have noted in their accounts. I'm also losing what little regard I had for actors. Even though I am assigned to get shots for the movie poster, the actors (the biggest and smallest ones) refuse to get into character for me, so I must work even harder during the takes. There's much more to note, but I'm trying to refrain from remarking about the details. I knew that I would miss the studio before long. Just two more weeks to go. If I can survive this job any better than the MTV gig, I'll be happy, and will raise my rate for the next time.
